Abstract

Materiau de couverture pour toitures de concept et caractére exotiques.Vu de l'extérieur présente un profil irrégulier en couleur définissant un aspect traditionnel caractéristique aux pays du Pacifique. Vu de l'exterieur forme un aspect feuillu irrégulier aux détails semblables à l a fibre connue du nom de Pandanus ou Palma cana .Permet la protection extérieur solaire, vents, et pluie, par son principe de pose et la superposition des feuilles . Offre une décoration pittoresque, remarquable de l'intérieur des pièces, et rend inutile la pose de faux plafonds. Se pose indifféremment sur charpentes modernes et anciennes Pose et technique de fixation prévus pour resister aux vents tropicaux en absorbant les pressions d'air trop fortes.Matériau flexible léger et trés résistant aux impacts .Inaltérable aux solvants Fabrication dans un polymère moulé en forme de feuille de palme. Fixation pa r un rail qui permet de tenir sur les fermes du toit la feuille de manière définitive. Ce rail perme t un replis également tradi- tionnel fort apprécié vu de l'intérieur.Le rail procure en outre une protection qui évite les remonrées d'eau grâce à son profil particulier. Assemblage selon les principe de pose du bardeau pour la protection et l'étanchéité . Matériaux permettant d'éviter le changement épisodique et couteux des toitur es en fibres naturelles Evite les traitements chimiques indisposants et élimine la présence inopportune des insectes, che- nilles et lézards dans les toits des maisons . Limite également l'entretien , la poussière, source de salissures et d'allergies. Se présente en option traité ignifuge.de couleur beige tabac séche ou vert couleur feuille de palmier. Résiste au soleil par incorporation d'anti U.V. Sa pose est facilitée par l'actes sur le toit lui même propose par la résistance accrue des feuilles et rails une fois posés.Roofing material for concept roofs and exotic character. Seen from the outside presents an irregular profile in color defining a traditional aspect characteristic in the countries of the Pacific. Seen from the outside, it forms an irregular leafy appearance with details similar to the fiber known by the name of Pandanus or Palma cana. Allows external solar, wind and rain protection, by its laying principle and the superposition of leaves. Offers a picturesque, remarkable decoration of the interior of the rooms, and makes unnecessary the installation of false ceilings. Can be installed on modern and old frames. Installation and fixing technique designed to withstand tropical winds by absorbing excessive air pressures. Flexible material, light and very resistant to impacts. Inalterable to solvents Manufacture in a molded polymer in sheet form palm. Attachment by a rail which allows the sheet to be held permanently on the roof trusses. This rail also allows a fold, which is also very popular when viewed from the inside. The rail also provides protection which prevents water spillage thanks to its particular profile. Assembly according to the principle of laying the shingle for protection and waterproofing. Materials to avoid episodic and costly change of natural fiber roofs Avoids unpleasant chemical treatments and eliminates the untimely presence of insects, crawlers and lizards in the roofs of houses. Also limits maintenance, dust, source of dirt and allergies. Available as an optional flame retardant treatment, in dry tobacco beige or palm leaf green color. Resists the sun by incorporating anti UV rays. Its installation is facilitated by the acts on the roof itself proposed by the increased resistance of the sheets and rails once installed.
