Introduction to the Importance of Roofing Systems
Dr. Christian Pohl, Managing Director, Monier Technical Centre
A roof is one of the basic needs of people
In the early days of roofing, people took whatever was
available. Local traditions built up, depending on the
climate needs and available raw material.
Usual roofing material in Europe was:
Thatch
• Brushwood, Straw and Thatch
• Wooden shingles and boards
• Slate and tiles

We fulfil the needs of customers with tiled roofs
Why “small format” tiles?
• Easy to transport and handle
• Adaptable to all roof shapes and sizes
• Easy to fix along the requirement of regional
weather conditions
• Compensating thermal delations and wind
suction

We do roofs in clay and concrete
Why natural materials like clay and concrete?
• Unbeatable price to value and durability ratio
• Easy to form to every shape, every building
requirement or fashion
• Robust and very long lasting
• Sound absorbing and with high thermal mass
• Frost and fire resistant

Customer expectations
Customers want to trust their roof
in every respect
Different climate zones and regional traditions
and fashions - but every customer has the
same expectation:
A roof that customers like, that makes life
convenient and that he can trust for decades!
Aesthetics & look
Comfort & convenience
Durability & protection

Aesthetics
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
• Design and stile of the house
• Shape and colour of the tiles
• Roof pitch and construction
Page 7
A roof is so much more than just tiles
We do the full roof:
• Monier is the only one producing most parts
of the roof
• Function and aesthetic is influenced by the fit
between tiles, fittings and components
• The system relies on the interaction between
the parts of the roof

Comfort and convenience
People have to live with their house
And the functionality of the house makes the
life convenient, or even not!
• Comfortable in winter with effective insulation
• Comfortable in summer with moderate
temperatures in bedrooms under the roof
• Comfortable over a long time without
moisture and dampness risks
