RIB-ROOF – advantage with system

The RIB-ROOF metal roofing systems from Zambelli are the further development of the traditional standing seam roof cladding. It is installed without penetration on sliding clips which enable the extension of the profiles when outside temperatures are high.

With the two product lines RIB-ROOF Speed 500 and RIB-ROOF 465 in the standard construction widths 465 mm and 500 mm, a wide range of colours and materials as well as a complete range of accessories RIB-ROOF offers the right solution for every requirement. Being self-supporting and accessible, it can be installed on purlins or on full surface support – the field of application reaches from the single-shelled rear ventilated cold roof to the thermally insulated unventilated roof structure.

For roof renovations, you will receive suitable solutions from Zambelli. Particularly, for roof renovations on existing corrugated asbestos cement panels or fiber cement panels, we have project-related solutions for you. Please contact us!

RIB-ROOF can be used from pitches of only 1.5° on. We produce your profiles in the required lengths, allowing for roof surfaces of virtually any length to be installed without transverse joints from ridge to the eaves.


For every roof structure, the right solution!

For the metal roofing system RIB-ROOF all common substructures are possible as roof structure: trapezoidal profiles, wood binding rafters, wood boarding (t = min. 24 mm), steel rafters, lightweight concrete or reinforced concrete. A variant to the full-surface support lathing is high compressive mineral wool. The installation of the profiles is executed on spacers which correspond to the thickness of the insulation, or on pressure distribution profiles or clip borders directly in the load-bearing structures.

Saving of energy costs with wooden lathing

According to the examination report of the FIW of 11 April 2005 you can save about 1,300 € per year and 1,000 m² roof surface if you use a wooden distance construction and not a metallic Z-profile. You can save energy costs of about 540 € per 1000 m² roof surface than with the metallic brackets which go through the thermal insulation.



Get moving now – with RIB-ROOF

RIB-ROOF saves valuable installation time. The profiles are simply clicked into the system-specific retaining clips. Pre-assembly and alignment of the clips is just as unnecessary with RIB-ROOF as is seaming or flanging with special flanging machines. Since flanging is not necessary with RIB-ROOF, it can be installed at low outdoor temperatures. The profiles are available ex works with chamfered or beveled edges on the side of the ridge or eaves.

The full range of prefabricated elements facilitate flexible, efficient planning and fast, precise installation. All parts such as harness security systems, skeleton steps and mounting bracket for solar module are installed on the profiles without penetration.



Photovoltaic and solar modules

Easy installation without penetration of photovoltaic and solar modules with mounted brackets – can also be installed later.
