Sizes

The size of a single Roofclix® tile is 400 x 400 x 40 mm. The size of the connectors are 260 mm round at a height of 65 mm. Where the fitting sits on the roof surface, a cavity exists between it and the panel, allowing the roofing element to lay 25 mm clear of the underlying roofing, which creates a ventilated cavity layer. Roofclix tiles are installed on a water-proof layer, protecting the underlying roofing against damage during construction and against fast deterioration by UV radiation and significant weather and temperature changes. Normal foot traffic is possible to a uniform load of 150 kg per element

Quality

The plastic used to manufacture our tiles is of the highest quality and adjusted to our requirements and purposes. The most harmful factor for deterioration is UV radiation. Only the shell of the tile is exposed to this. The life span of the shell is estimated at approximately 50 years.

Modular system

The Roofclix® roof is modular and it is reusable. For example, you could choose to cover only the portion of the roof that would benefit most from cooling, such as office space. You
can choose at a later stage, after proven operation of the Roofclix® system, to extend to the whole surface area.

Roofclix® Roofcoating

As for the protective eaves and ridges there is a special coating developed that which follows the elements. This coating is durable, environmentally friendly, stain resistant, highly flexible, highly reflective and is temperature-lowering and may also be applied directly to bitumen. The coating is also applicable to plastic roofing if it is pretreated.

Cradle2Cradle

The Roofclix® elements are durable, completely recyclable and in addition to savings, is a socially responsible product. Currently, Planet Safe Ltd is in the process of receiving Cradle2Cradle certification for the elements.

Plastic and loose roofing

Plastic roofing is non-resistant to most types of adhesives and/or coatings. Therefore we apply heavier tiles on plastic roofing (PVC, EPDM, etc.). The tiles are only glued to the roof at the corners, and the roof is pre-treated with a primer. Next, the tiles are glued with a special adhesive. The bonding to the vertices, the weight of the tiles and the click- in connector together make for a good wind resistance. The heavier tiles are made according to a weight calculation determined by TNO (Dutch research and certification agency). For the application of heavy tiles a preconstruction scan is sometimes necessary to find out if the roof can carry the extra weight. Heavy elements are also applied on loose roofing materials. As more materials are used in the production of these heavy elements, they have a slightly higher price.
