Zambelli has more than 50 years hands-on experience
in the fi eld of metal roofs.
The Zambelli Group is shaped by its expert craftmanship
while striving for perfection and with the
courage to head in new, often diffi cult directions.
The brothers Franz and Carlo Zambelli Sopalu, both
expert plumbers and experienced in tin-coating,
founded the company in 1957 as a craftman‘s
establishment. At that time their specialisation was
building construction and the renovation of church
roofs. Through numerous patents and registered
designs the founding fathers spurred the company
forward.
MADE IN GERMANY
Within only two generations the company evolved
into an internationally active industrial enterprise
in the metalworking sector with more than 800
employees at nine locations in six countries. Part
of the group includes Zambelli RIB-ROOF GmbH
& Co. KG: with over 30 years of manufacturing
experience and over 15 million square meters of
roof surfacing that has been made so far. It is now
one of Europe´s leading producers of metal roofi ng.

A SAFE SYSTEM SOLUTION
DOING THINGS IN THE RIGHT WAY
The characteristics of RIB-ROOF metal roofi ng systems
are cleverness and simplicity.
RIB-ROOF metal roofi ng systems is distinguished
by the innovative sliding slot connection with
its own sliding clip system. The high degree of
prefabrication substantially reduces construction
time. In comparison with conventional standing
seam profi les, RIB-ROOF offers maximum security
in planning the installation and in its functionality.

Get on your roof – using RIB-ROOF metal roofi ng systems this is not a problem at all.
In the year 1978 the RIB-ROOF metal roofi ng systems
received the fi rst authorisation approved by the building
authorities. This means tested quality and safety:

✔ No lever action of the sliding clip on the
roofi ng with pressure and tensile loads that
might arise from dilatation*
✔ Sliding seam and sliding clip allow for
dilatation of the profi le sheet, thus avoiding
tension in metal roofs
✔ The “Clicking into Place Mechanic” ensures
permanent connection to the profi le sheet
through closed linkage
✔ Self-supporting and walkable
✔ Permanent waterproofi ng through
impenetrable installation with no
transverse joints
✔ Impenetrable installation of fi ttings
onto the profi l sheet substructure
✔ Additional item diffusion-open layer possible
without to change the roof construction
✔ With high wind-drag loads, e.g. in coastal
and mountainous regions a suitable
solution of system fi ttings
can be selected

Direct installation of the clips
Using the RIB-ROOF standard clip you can pull up.
On your marks, get set, go! With RIB-ROOF metal
roofi ng systems you can use the single clips to save
time otherwise spent on extensive measuring and
pre-assembly. The uniquely developed sliding clip
is screwed directly into the profi le sheet. Fast work
is possible. Mistakes in measuring are avoided.
RIB-ROOF metal roofi ng systems always provide
different optimal clamping applications. The optimised
Profi le-Clip geometry stays in place perfectly
no matter the type of roof construction or substructure
under each sheet. In this way, material expansion
caused by possible changes in temperature can
be balanced out. This is a superior advantage of the
RIB-ROOF system when laying long sheet panels.
While others are still fl anging, you can already see the result.
All you need to install RIB-ROOF metal roofi ng
systems are hands that can tackle work. It is
not necessary to join the standing seams again
neither a mechanical fl anging is necessary. This
makes it possible to install the roofs perennial.
No pre-assembly necessary
Furthermore the profi le sheets are not rigidly
coupled so a thermal expansion is possible.
You can be absolutely sure that your RIB-ROOF roof
will keep the shape over years.

SAVING TIME –
BUILDING AS EFFICIENTLY
AS POSSIBLE
✔ Immediate start of installing the profi le
sheets as there is no pre-assembly
of clips necessary
✔ Calculation errors as well as measuring
errors can be excluded totally as the
profi le sheet pretends the perfect position
for the clip
✔ Quick process of construction without
fi nal mechanical fl anging
✔ Installation is even possible at low
temperature
✔ Production and curving of the profi le sheets
is also possible directly at construction site

BENEFIT FROM EXPERIENCES
Record breaking:
1200 m 2 in 3 hours
Optimisation of costs and deadlines is an important factor
when having to construct a supermarket as quickly as
possible - normally it already takes 4 months from laying
the foundation to opening day – an important aspect
to consider. That is why Aldi, Lidl, Norma as well as the
Rewe and Edeka groups all rely on RIB-ROOF metal roofi ng
systems. With over 100 projects in Germany and Europe,
it is not only the time-tested quality and the wide range
of material that have made RIB-ROOF one of the favorite
producers of roofi ng systems. It is also the simple installation
design without any complicated adjustment and
pre-setting up of clips that give our system an unbeatable
advantage in time. The roof profi le of this Norma
Supermarket was put into place by 11 technicians in only
three hours.

RIB-ROOF metal roofi ng systems are as fl exible
as our customer requires.
The roof shapes the character of the entire
structure. It defi nes the style and infl uences the
impact on the viewer. RIB-ROOF metal roofi ng systems
allows room for your own ideas. RIB-ROOF
metal roofi ng systems can be adapted exactly to
fi t ground plan and roof geometry. Two RIB-ROOF
systems, Speed 500 und 465, with different
profi le sheet designs are available. All lengths of
profi le sheets can be used with both systems because
they are laid without any transverse joints.
Almost anything is possible with RIB-ROOF metal
roofi ng systems.

RIB-ROOF SYSTEM ACCESSORIES
TO PERFECT DETAILS

Safety on the roof!
Working on the roof must be approached with
special care, particularly as building engineering
services are more frequently being installed on
roof surfaces. That is why building laws have been
changed since 1998 to ensure that owners and
contractors take more responsibility to avoid the
high number of accidents due to falling off, or
through, roofs when carrying out repair, inspection
or cleaning work.
RIB-ROOF has its own special system of security
features to prevent accidents on new buildings
and, of course, to upgrade and retrofi t metal roofs
that have already been built. With this system you
can fulfi ll your responsibilities as building owners
and contractors easily and quickly.
Take advantage of a tried-and-true system with a wide spectrum
of accessory features and numerous individual solutions.
Perfection can be found in even the smallest
detail. It goes without saying that you will
achieve your goal in the most direct way possible.
RIB-ROOF metal roofi ng systems provide you with
a comprehensive range of functional features to
fi t all of your building and roofi ng requirements.
Shapely surfacing for the roof ridge, eaves or
rainwater pipe and gableboard will
optimise the overall impression. Roof penetration
for artifi cial ventilation, roofl ight domes, or
chimneys can be realised according to all norm and
security standards. Snow guard system, lightning
protection, walkway and tread support as well
as RIB-ROOF´s specially developed and tested fall
arrest system are completing the system.

ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMICAL CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION
ACT RESPONSIBLY
Using New Potential Effectively:
Generating Energy with Photovoltaic and Solar Modules.
Mounting photovoltaic and solar modules onto a
rooftop increases value in a sustainable manner.
Whether it is a new building, roof renovation or
upgrading an older structure, RIB-ROOF metal
roofi ng systems allow you to choose from a wide
variety of possibilities: Elevated or modules that
are parallel to the roof, UniSolar fi lm laminate is
directly installed on the roof surface or mounted
on plates. The solar-laminated option blends in
decently and is ideal for curved and rounded roof
forms. We would be happy to show you how to
get the most out of your roof. Just contact us!

While others are still looking for answers,
we have already solutions.
None of us should close our eyes to the challenges
of climate change. RIB-ROOF metal roofi ng
systems pay off not only from a fi nancial point of
view. Ecologically speaking, RIB-ROOF also always
fi nds the right solution, for example, by using
renewable resources such as wood for distance
construction, thereby reducing emission by decreasing
thermal bridges.

Compliance without requiring additional measures
Energy reduction measures put high demands on
new buildings and renovation of older structures.
While energy-reducing measures are required
by several of the metal roofi ng systems that
are currently available on the market in order to
