Roof Cover or Facade Siding

摘要

The roof or facade cladding comprises panel-shaped construction elements (1) arranged in a scale-type pattern, and each construction element (1) comprises at least a panel part (2), a frame and at least one retaining element (6). Each construction element (1) is secured by the at least one retaining element (6) on an essentially horizontally disposed support element (27). Each retaining element (6) is disposed on the respective construction element (1) adjacent to a bottom, essentially horizontally oriented edge (5) of the construction element (1) and the point (20) of the retaining element (6) contacting the support element (27) lies closer to this bottom edge (5) than the top edge (11) of the construction element (1). Each construction element is protected from mechanical damage all the way round at the edges the frame. The retaining elements (6) primarily secure the bottom edge of the construction element (1), whilst the top part of the construction elements and their frames lie underneath the construction element disposed in the next row above and is fixed thereby.
