Roof accessories for roof renovation

Renovating, repairing and modernising flat and pitched roofs efficiently

When compared directly, it is no secret that flat and pitched roofs have different lives. Whereas pitched roofs can have an average use period far longer than six decades, flat roofs often only last for 20 years. Dirt, permanent ponding and weathering effects such as UV radiation, storms, hail and frost accelerate the ageing process. The owner is then often faced with the question: renovate or new build? Experience shows that in many cases it pays to aim for partial or full renovation in order to extend the life of the roof with relatively inexpensive measures. In the FLECK product range you will find many products that are specially geared to flat and pitched roof renovation measures.

 

What is SanReMo?

Renovation, repair and modernisation are known as “SanReMo” (German) or RR&M (English) in the building industry. Renovation comes from the Latin word (renovare) for renew or restore, repair means mend something that is damaged or not working properly and modernisation means improve and bring up to date and therefore involves the most comprehensive building work on properties.

Roof accessories for solar roofs

More than 150 prefabricated functional roof tiles, whose form and colour are adapted to the surrounding roof tiles, are offered for proper installation of PV and solar thermal systems. These roof tiles are ideally suitable for the subsequent installation of roof-mounted systems for modernisation measures In addition, universally usable roof tiles with a mouldable collar made of the environmentally-friendly lead substitute ECO FORM are available, particularly for the renovation of older roofs, and which fit into almost any existing roofing. The solar product range is complemented with roof tiles for inspection, maintenance and snow guard accessories and completed by solar feedthrough tiles, the PV VogelStop bird deterrent and the Saniflex universal vent

 

The FLECK product range also includes accessories for the proper installation of solar systems.

Renovation solutions for damaged and no longer appropriate installed parts

FLECK products help to effectively prevent uncontrolled air exchange, condensation and energy waste through outdated ventilation systems.

Modern vents with integrated backflow flap provide controlled air exchange. This prevents cold air from penetrating the ventilation pipe or the permanent uncontrolled escape of warm air. Use of a backflow flap is possible and sensible for mechanical extract ventilation systems and for rooms without windows for DN 100, DN 125 and DN 150. The installation of backflow flaps is recommended, for example, for internal bathrooms*, rooms with high air load or ventilation systems for flat roofs, as there the ducts are mostly shorter and cold air can penetrate the building interior more easily.

The particularly easy-moving backflow flaps can be supplied suitable for the following vents:

 

* Backflow flaps are not suitable for use in wastewater pipes or so-called stack ventilation or odour reduction.

Flat roof vent for renovation

The 4-in-1 flat roof vent CLASSIC with the extra-long renovation system pipes DN 90, DN 100 and DN 125 are used in the renovation of older flat roof vents DN 100, DN 125 and DN 150.
The 4-in-1 system pipes chosen are one size smaller than the existing fan pipe. The corresponding backflow seal has multiple sealing lips and seals the gap between the new and existing pipe so that it is airtight and watertight.

 

 

 

 

Installed with a few hand movements:

 

4-in-1 flat roof vent.

4-in-1 renovation system pipes with backflow seal.

Step 1: Saw off the existing vent DN 100.

Step 2: Fit on the 4-in-1 flat roof fan CLASSIC
with or without condensation separator (KWA).

Step 3: Seal the gap between the pipes properly to prevent penetrating condensation.

Alternatively, we recommend use and proper mounting of the 4-in-1 renovation system pipes CLASSIC with backflow seal.

Modernising flat roof drains and gullies

Easily install extendable renovation drains and renovation gullies

Like the renovation vents, drainage renovation products are equipped with longer drain pipes and a backflow seal. They are simply inserted into the existing drains. Drain pipes in the renovation product range with lengths greater than 500 mm can be supplied for roofs with large cross-sections:

 

FLECK offers you a reliable and free service for calculating the standard main and emergency drainage – individually matched to the data of your roof area.

Self-cleaning leaf screen against backwater on the flat roof

Flat roof leaf screens and gravel trap cages protect drains from problematic dirt and contamination. However, they cannot always prevent dirt accumulations that cause critical backwater quantities to form. This is where the ROOFGUARD, the unique and patented leaf screen with self-cleaning mechanism is used. The ROOFGUARD leaf screen lifts itself automatically as soon as the flat roof drain or gully is blocked and the water reaches a backed-up level of 60 mm. The backed-up water shoots beneath it and into the drain. The resulting undertow drags leaves, dirt, etc. along with it. The leaf screen then lowers itself again.

In addition to the ROOFGUARD and the renovation drains and gullies there are also suitable emergency drainage products, which can be integrated not only into the surface but also into the parapet. A drainage calculation by FLECK helps you to correctly dimension the new build and renovation products to be installed.

 

 

The ROOFGUARD with FLECK connect sends status messages directly from the roof.

The sustainable alternative to rolled lead

With ECO FORM, FLECK offers sustainable flashing material for the wall, chimney, valley, window, dormer and much more.

The ECO FORM products replace conventional rolled lead on the building, they are easier to work and reduce environmental impact. Apart from the ecological aspect, they offer roofers other advantages:

  • Easier to transport as lighter than rolled lead
  • Very high extensibility – without cracking.
  • Easy to cut with stable snips.
  • East to mould and install.
  • Optimum value for money.
  • UV-resistant and particularly durable.
  • Available in the colours: lead grey, black and brick red – the latter applies to ECO FORM EASY only.

Certified and tested quality

Strict production, product properties and reclability criteria must be met in order to obtain the “Sustainable product” marking from the Central Association of German Roofing (Zentralverband des Deutschen Dachdeckerhandwerks e. V., ZVDH). The assessment criteria of the ZVDH are based on the “Sustainable building rating system of the Federal Government” (BNB) in Germany as well as the state “Sustainable building quality seal” (QNG). The certification applies to the whole ECO FORM product series.

FLECK ECO FORM products have been tested for durability and watertightness by the Dutch test institution kiwa. The result: ECO FORM EASY and ECO FORM MAX can easily remain on the roof for 25 years, ECO FORM BASIC for 30 years.
