ROOF CLADDING ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ROOF CLADDING ELEMENTS

摘要

The present invention relates to a roof cladding element (1; a-d; 16; 21-23), which roof cladding element has been manufactured of profiled plate material (15) and which roof cladding elements are adjacently and in succession mountable such that the edges of a roof cladding element will be placed a distance overlapping with the edges of adjacent roof cladding elements. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing roof cladding elements (1; a-d; 16; 21-23) in which method a plate material (9) in strip form is formed into profiled roof cladding element strip (15) with a forming device (10-14) and in which method a finished formed roof cladding element strip (15) is cut with a cutting device (14) at even intervals into roof cladding elements (1; a-d; 16; 21-23). Characteristic to a roof cladding element (1; a-d; 16; 21-23) in accordance with the invention is the fact that to at least one corner of a roof cladding element a recess (4; s) reaching at least partly under the lower surface of the part of the roof cladding element surrounding the corner has been formed. Characteristic to the method in accordance with the invention is the fact that to at least one corner of the roof cladding element (1; a-d; 16; 21-23) a recess (4; s) reaching at least partly under the lower surface of the part of the roof cladding element surrounding the corner is formed with a forming device (10-14).
