IsoTop 

Features and Benefits 

• Ideal for industrial membrane roofs and 

special construction 

• Support widths of up to 33 ft (10 m) 

• Reduced load onto the roof substructure 

• Direct load transfer into the supporting 

structure of the building 

• Minimal roof penetration points 

General Information 

The IsoTop system is ideally suited for low load membrane 

roofs commonly used in industrial buildings. Each IsoTop 

system is designed to suite individual building specifications 

and intended for assembly on-site. A corresponding 

structural analysis must be performed to determine the 

specific configuration. Detailed assembly drawings and 

component-lists are generated for each planned IsoTop 

system, based on customer concept documentation and asbuilt 

plans. 

Planning 

A corresponding blueprint, assembly drawing, and roof 

connection layout design are drawn up prior to delivery. 

Corresponding measurements, position of individual 

components, and connecting materials must be discernible 

on these drawings. 

All examples given in this instruction serve solely as a guide 

for your own project plan.

Support Installation 

� Mark positions according to 

overview plan 

� Open roof membrane 

� Mount supports 

Ensure compatible design. Though 

the structural information should be 

evaluated prior to system production, 

always check for design compatibility 

and structural integrity before 

disturbing roof membrane. 

� Re-lay the insulation 

� Seal the opening 

Placing proper roofing material in 

and around the support location 

will ensure water tightness. Roofing 

should always be sealed according 

to national building code standards. 

Note: The Schletter warranty only 

applies to the solar mounting 

system and material which we 

produce. Consultation with a roofing 

professional may be recommended.

Guidelines 

Depending on the complexity of the 

design, some component groups are 

produced pre-assembled. However, for 

a more detailed assembly overview, the 

following outlines each step. 

� Install BF-Rail 

Assemble with Klickin components 

and square nuts M10 at the 

required distances, position on 

the supports then secure using 

M10x25 screws. The BF-Rail 

length can be extended with 

compatible connectors. 

� Mount Struts 

Secure T-piece in the same way 

as with Klick system and M10x25 

screw. Secure struts (in each case 

2 U-profiles) between support 

and T-piece with M10x25 screws or 

M10x35 and serrated nuts M10.

� Mount Hinges 

Use Klick components and M10x25 

screws to attach the BF-Rail 

according to specifications provided 

in drawings. 

� Mount BF Girder 

Fasten hinges to the BF girder in the 

same way. Connect the front hinge 

(tip) with screws M10x25 or M10x35 

and serrated nuts M10. 





� Connection of the Struts 


Secure struts (two U profiles or 

tubular section) between the hinges 

with M10x25 or M10x35 screws and 

serrated nuts M10. 

� Mount the S-Rail 

Fasten the module-bearing S-Rail to 

the BF girder with the mounting claw, 

M10x25 screws and and Klick system.

� Mount Connector 

Position the connector for 

the S-Rail. Secure each S- 

Rail with two (2) self-drilling 

screws per rail. 

Module Mounting 

Mount the modules to the S-Rails and 

fasten with end- and middle clamps.
