Galeco - smart 2-in-1 solutions

Modern roof design requires solutions that combine aesthetics with functionality, which is why Galeco's DACHRYNNA Eaves and DACHRYNNA Eavesless systems are becoming a standard in ambitious architectural projects. Ideal for buildings with protruding eaves, the DACHRYNNA Okapowa system allows the gutter and downpipe to be hidden in the roof structure, while offering compatibility with Galeco GRIN, GRIN MOD and ceramic tile roofing under the DACHRYNNA V9 system. For modern solids, the DACHRYNNA No-Eaves with GRIN and GRIN MOD panels is an excellent choice, and can be used on both the roof and facade to create a consistent, minimalist whole. Galeco panels are manufactured to size, in graphite matte and black matte and the use of GreenCoat® Pural BT MAT, Rough Matt Polyester and Granite® Ultramat coatings ensures durability of 25 to 50 years. The innovation of Galeco systems is also a nod to ecology - with technologies that reduce the carbon footprint and reduce waste, architects can create sustainable buildings.

Cedral - unique roofing materials

The roof is one of the key elements of a building, which is why it is so important to choose a durable and aesthetically pleasing covering. Cedral's small-format fiber-cement tiles perfectly meet these requirements, combining high weather resistance, non-combustibility and longevity exceeding 50 years. With a wide range of colors, finishes (smooth and slate-textured) and covering patterns such as French or Linum, Cedral tiles allow freedom of design for both roofs and facades, creating a cohesive and elegant whole. Cedral products are easy to maintain, require no costly maintenance, and can be washed with water and a mild detergent when needed. Another fiber-cement solution returning to the market is Euronit corrugated board, perfect for residential and industrial roofs and facades. Etex, owner of the Cedral and Euronit brands, places a strong emphasis on sustainability, using natural raw materials and minimizing the carbon footprint of its products.

Röben - a wide range of clay roof tiles

Modern roof design requires not only aesthetic, but also functional and durable solutions, and Röben's clay roof tiles fit perfectly into these needs. The novelty BERGAMO in black glazed version is a proposal for investors looking for minimalist form and deep, elegant color; the flat surface and precise interlocking of the tile enable tight coverage even at low angles of inclination, making it ideal for both modern houses and multi-family buildings. The BERGAMO model is also available in anthracite engobe and platinum engobe variants, offering designers a wide range of design possibilities. The range is complemented by classic MILANO tiles, known as holenders, valued for their high sliding ability, which is particularly useful for renovations, as well as the PIEMONT model with a two-wave form, ensuring ease of installation on new and renovated roofs. On large slopes, the MONZA tile in a larger format is ideal, where economical consumption - about 9.5 pcs/m² - significantly speeds up roofing work. All Röben tiles, made of high-quality clay, are characterized by durability, resistance to extreme weather conditions, and are covered by a 30-year technical warranty.
