FAQ - Frequently asked questions

The Taborsky DP40 roof tile is installed on a timber substructure.

The profile sheets are laid from the eaves to the ridge and fastened with self-drilling roof screws. The correct substructure spacing is important here!
Important installation principles:

• Screwing on the corrugation crest
• Fastening in the plane of the lower stamping
• approx. 6–7 screws per m² of roof area
• Matching ridge, verge, and eaves components ensure a professional roof covering

Detailed instructions are provided in the official installation manual.

The length of the Taborsky DP40 roof tile is manufactured according to the parts list. This means that lengths are made to measure between 550 mm and 6,100 mm. The cover width of the roof tiles is fixed and amounts to 1,000 mm.

If the roof is longer, the roof tile profiles must be joined transversely.

Yes. Snow protection accessories are available for the Taborsky DP40 roof tile.
Matching snow protection elements are part of the accessories and can be installed on the roof tile profile in a system-compliant manner.

The Taborsky DP40 roof tile combines the appearance of classic roof tiles with the advantages of an industrially manufactured roof system:

• very low weight per unit area (approx. 0.048 kN/m²)
• high dimensional stability of the surface
• lengths up to 6,100 mm (project-specific)
• longitudinal overlaps with an additional water trap
• economical overall costs for roofing and installation

Particularly when renovating existing roofs, the low weight compared to concrete roof tiles is a decisive structural advantage.

Conventional roof tiles are mostly made of clay or concrete and are laid as individual roofing tiles. The Taborsky roof tile DP40 is a sheet metal roof tile profile, which is manufactured in long profile sheets.
This results in significant differences:

• significantly lower weight than concrete or clay roof tiles
• large-format sheets instead of individual roof tiles
• uniform appearance over the entire roof
• less installation effort and shorter construction time

The DP40 is therefore a modern alternative to classic roof tiles and interlocking tiles for pitched roofs.

A minimum roof pitch of 10 degrees is required for the Taborsky DP40 roof tile.

This minimum pitch ensures that rainwater drains off reliably and that a permanently secure roof covering is guaranteed.
