RIB-ROOF – Details for Planning 

Our metal roofing system RIB-ROOF is installed with 

system-specific sliding clips without penetration of 

the roofing material. This metal roofing system offers 

manifold areas of application, ranging from backventilated 

cold roofs to thermal insulated nonventilated 

roofs. 

RIB-ROOF profile sheets are available in the construction 

widths 465 and 500 mm (special widths: 400 

and 333 mm) in different material thicknesses. They 

are produced in the materials steel, aluminium, 

titanium zinc and copper and can also be delivered 

in curved or conical design. 

Apart from our range of standard products we are 

also offering supplementary system accessories like 

snow fence devices, solar module transports, roofstep 

holders and harness security systems. 

You can fully trust in Zambelli products, since their high 

manufacturing quality and precision are able to meet 

even the highest demands, a fact which is also documented 

in the ISO-certification.

The Variety of Shapes 

Curved, conical and conical curved Conical profile sheet RIB-ROOF Speed 500 

We also deliver RIB-ROOF profile sheets in curved (convex 

or concave), conical, and conical-curved design. 

Arches with large radii can be executed with straight 

profile sheets, profile sheets for smaller radii are 

pre-fabricated or roll formed with mobile plants on site. 

RIB-ROOF 465 in extremely small radii requires a 

round bent execution of the profile sheets. 

Curved RIB-ROOF Speed 500 profile sheets with small 

radii are fixed with turned clips. For conical designs, 

RIB-ROOF Speed 500 profile sheets can be used in 

different construction widths.

Energy saving with wooden lathing 

According to an examination report of FIW of 11 April 2005 

you save about 1300,– € per year per 1000 m 2 roof surface 

if you use a distance construction of wooden lathing instead 

of a construction with metallic Z-profile. Compared to metallic 

holders penetrating the thermal insulation, the energy saving 

is about 540,– € for the same surface.

Installation on wooden lathing 

Installation on metallic Z-profile


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=24 

mm), steel rafters, lightweight concrete or reinforced 

concrete. A variant to the full-surface lathing is high 

compressive mineral wool. An alternative to this method 

is offered by the high compressive mineral wool. The 

installation of profile sheets 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 structure. 

Installation on full-surface support 

with clip border 

RIB-ROOF Speed 500 may alternatively be installed on 

full-surface supports. A variation in addition to the roof 

boarding is the high compressive strength mineral wool 

with high density top layer which improves the resistance 

to site work (application type DAA-dm according to DIN 

V 4108-10: thermal insulation).

profiled or flat which is fastened directly onto the support 

structure. 

It is important to avoid gaps when laying the insulation 

boards. This finish is also transferable to RIB-ROOF 465 

if so-called pressure distribution profiles are used.

Flat roof renovation with new wooden roof structure

Roof renovation 

Flat roof renovation with new wooden roof structure 

Even for renovating flat roofs, the RIB-ROOF metal roofing 

system offers outstanding possibilities. No limits are set 

to the architectural freedom: by installing RIB-ROOF 

profile sheets with the corresponding minimum roof 

slope on a new wood roof structure or on a steel roof 

structure, defect and unattractive flatroofs can be renovated, 

appearances improved and greater longevity 

achieved. 

The ventilation of the roof area can be done either with 

cross-ventilation on the gables or with ventilation openings 

at the eaves and at the ridge (e.g. ventilation ridge).

Roof renovation on fibre cement 

boards 

For roof renovation on existing fibre cement boards you 

receive project-related solutions. In this example, L- 

angles (short pieces) with elongated holes are used 

which are installed onto the fixing screws of the existing 

fibre cement boards. Z-shaped profiles are fixed on the 

L-angles as substructure for the sliding clips. 

In Germany, the planned renovation type have to be 

approved by the local trade supervisory office; outside 

Germany the specific needs have to be checked.

Penthouse roof ridge cap

Ridge

Single pitch roof ridge 

The penthouse ridge forms a design and installationtechnical 

unit with the corresponding verge. The penthouse 

ridge can also be installed to a vertical wall (see also wall 

joints ridge side with, and without, ventilation opening). 

Transverse and counter lathing 


The close couple roof cap without ventilation opening is 

first inserted into the closure with its double sided back 

edge folds, and subsequently, the fold is pressed together. 

The close couple roof cap with ventilation opening is 

supplied as standard equipment in flat, aerodynamic 

optimal design (structure height 80 mm) with opening 

ventilation cross section of 450cm2/m. It is usually installed 

with profile fillers to prevent the penetration of driving 

snow or the suction of undesirable air. On request we are 

also able to deliver a higher one (structure height 170mm).

by using a sheet metal cutter on site, an optimal fit 

is attained. In principle, the construction details for 

the ridge cap can be applied in this case.

For verge projections with trapezoidal sheets as substructure, 

trapezoidal profile filler is used for appearance 

and thermal-technical purposes.

Side and ridge wall joint/ 

Roof parapet joint 

For joints to masonry walls and stucco surfaces, an 

overlap strip must be cut into the wall, which is backed 

with a sealant strip or non-hardening sealing compound, 

and pressed into the joint using clamps. The overlap 

strip must be worked into the masonry before stucco 

operations. 

When forming joints between a penthouse roof and a 

vertical wall, a closure is used. The side wall joint to the 

masonry wall is executed using the verge (insertion) 

profile strip. In principle, the details applicable to the 

verge also have validity for this work. 

The wall joint can be completed under certain structural 

conditions with a ridge-side roof parapet cover. In this 

case the overlap strip will not be required.

Guide for Planning and Installing”.

Self-supporting projecting eaves 

Outside attached half-round or box-shaped gutters which 

are attached using hangers to the fascia are the most 

simple eaves-type design. System integrated profile 

fillers can be installed in the eaves area: this is, however, 

only required in exceptional cases. The joint of the roof 

to the gutter is executed using eaves flashing (gutter 

entry flashing). The vapour diffusion open protective 

layer or other separation layers cover the eaves flashing 

to drain off secondary condensation into the gutter which 

may be formed. For the profile sheet RIB-ROOF Speed 

500, a system-related eaves angle is installed which is 

not required for the profile RIB-ROOF 465. 

For eaves structures with self-supporting projections, a 

roof overhang using the necessary substructures (e.g. 

eaves rafters) is produced. For ventilated roof designs 

with attached gutters, ventilation openings below the 

eaves are necessary.

Guide for Planning and Installing”.

Inside gutters offer the possibility of forming special architectural

the safety measures described in detail in our „Practical Guide 

for Planning and Installing“: sufficient size, expansion joints for 

longitudinal expansion, funnel-shaped leader heads, minimum 

distance between water conducting gutters and safety gutters, 

as well as sufficient slope. 

A snow guard system or gutter heating guarantees that the 

gutter remains free of snow. If contractors are not able to carry 

out the necessary maintenance work on their own, a maintenance 

agreement should be concluded between the contractor and 

the execution company.

Domed roof light hood 

Domed roof lights fulfill an important function in the 

architectural integration of light in rooms directly below 

roofs. If the execution of domed roof lights is planned, 

please take into consideration the load distribution on 

the weight-bearing structure in the planning stage and 

install the necessary static framing if necessary. 

Water drainage and longitudinal expansion of the profile 

sheets in the area of the roof penetration have to be 

guaranteed using suitable measures. The heights of the 

hoods depend on the roof incline and should not be less 

than 15 cm if possible. 

For larger sizes and the elimination of watertight welding 

or soldering operations, the domed roof light hood should 

be executed with a backup security. Additional information 

on this topic can be found in our “Practical Guide for 

Planning and Installing”. 

For the domed roof light hood, we recommend the 

welded model in aluminium.

Harness security system on curved RIB-ROOF 465 

Harness security system 

The gliding element can be opened and attached or 

removed at any place in the system. In this way, the 

inconvenient reattachment at intermediate brackets 

and prescribed entry points is avoided. 

Harness security systems are stationary installations. 

They are conceived for all horizontal, sloped and vertical 

areas of application. The bearing elements are made 

of stainless steel or aluminium alloy. Methods for 

movement around corners in various designs enable 

unimpaired changes in the direction. 

The harness security system can be installed on any place at all 

The harness security system products fulfill the EC 

Guideline 89/686 EEC, have been tested for construction 

applications, and are made according to current DIN 

standards and carry a CE certification.
