Pogosta vprašanja

Pločevinaste kritine s posipom so se najprej pojavile med drugo svetovno vojno, ko so uporabili bitumen in pesek za zakrivanje pločevinastih bunkerjev. Po vojni je bil postopek izboljšan in izdelane so bile prve strehe. Jeklene pločevinaste kritine že od takrat varujejo stavbe, vendar zaradi napredka v tehnologiji premazov proizvodnja danes ni niti malo podobna zgodnjim praksam.

Ja, tudi krovci hodijo po celotni strehi med montažo.  Čeprav je treba med hojo po strehi biti previden, kajti stopi se lahko le na spodnji del strešnika, kjer se spodaj nahajajo letve.

Ne. Modularni sistem strešnikov in zračni kanal zmanjšajo zunanji hrup, tudi v primeru močnega naliva. Predvsem pa zmanjša hrup dežja kameni granulat, ker se kaplje ob stiku s površino razpršijo.

Streha Tilcor se lahko desetletja zoperstavlja ekstremnim vremenskim razmeram, vključno z vetrom, vročino, vlago in dežjem. Tilcor ima številna mednarodna poročila o preizkusih in dejanski rezultati potrjujejo, da so njihovi izdelki odporni proti potresu, požaru in zmrzovanju ter da lahko prenesejo orkanski veter hitrosti do 193 km/h. Z minimalno količino rednega vzdrževanja bo streha Tilcor desetletja zagotavljala prej omenjene lastnosti.

Na jekleno pločevino, prevlečeno s Zincalume slojem nanesejo akrilni temeljni premaz. Kameni granulat se nato vdela v debel akrilni vezivni sloj na vodni osnovi, ki je odporen na UV žarke. Končni akrilni zaščitni sloj se nanese na posip, preden se površina strešnikov strdi v peči pri temperaturi 120 stopinj.

Jeklo s Zincalume zaščito, ima bistveno daljšo življenjsko dobo kot pocinkano jeklo. Zaščita jekla Zincalume združuje protikorozijsko zaščito aluminija in cinka, kar daje prednosti obeh kovin. Nastali premaz iz zlitine poveča odpornost proti koroziji, zaradi česar je idealen za takšne namene, kot so strešne kritine. Zato strešni kritini Tilcor lahko rečemo "Končna strešna kritina" in je podprta s 50-letno omejeno garancijo.

Zgodovina izdelkov Tilcor dokazuje, da bledenje ni težava. Tilcor na svojih strešnikih uporablja naravno obarvan ali keramično barvan kameni granulat. Naravni kamen ne more zbledeti, kamen prevlečen s keramično barvo iz najkakovostnejših pigmentov pa je žgan pri temperaturah nad 700 stopinj Celzija. Sčasoma lahko pride do rahle spremembe barve zaradi usedanja umazanije iz zraka. Vendar bo občasno deževje ali pranje strehe ohranilo videz strehe kot na začetku.

Pri Tilcorju smo zelo ponosni, da ljudem po vsem svetu zagotavljamo najkakovostnejše izdelke strešne kritine, še bolj pa smo ponosni, da to storimo na način, ki pomaga varovati naše okolje. Okoljske odgovornosti jemljemo resno in se osredotočamo na svoje operativne dejavnosti za izboljšanje energetske učinkovitosti in trajnosti v gradbeni industriji. Uporabljamo tudi najnovejšo tehnologijo, s katero zagotavljamo, da zmanjšujemo ogljični odtis in kupcem ponujamo okolju prijazne izdelke, kjer je to mogoče.

Steel roofing is classified as a non-combustible roofing material (Class A). In new construction and in many re-roofing applications the metal roofing system is a Class A non-combustible roof assembly. That means it has the highest possible fire resistance.

Tilcor roofs are known as “cool roofs”. This means they have the ability to cut building owners’ energy costs because they reduce the need for air conditioning.

Tilcor roofing products are designed to be elevated from the roof deck which creates a natural air flow referred to as “Above Sheathing Ventilation”(ASV). This ventilation prevents heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. In addition to proper attic insulation, this can help lower electric costs associated with heating/cooling.

The combination between our steel panels and ASV have seen customers achieve 30% reductions in the energy bills.

Yes, rainwater collected from Tilcor roofs is safe to consume. After your new roof has been installed you need to wait for two good rainfalls before beginning collection.

Tilcor panels have been tested and meet the World Health Organisation standards for water run off, meaning you can drink water from a Tilcor roof, other roofing products, like Asphalt Shingles can break down and can become toxic after a few years. 

*Note that the weights for clay and concrete products are for dry weights and that the weight of the these products increases when they are wet.

Steel roofing is no more susceptible to lightning than other roofing materials. It has been demonstrated that lightning strikes most frequently the highest points of terrain. Where concerns exist, lightning rods can be installed on roofs that are the highest point of surrounding terrain.

Yes, when installed to the required standards and with the required maintenance Tilcor roofs can carry a warranty of up to 50 years. A five year installation warranty is also offered by the installers.

Tilcor was founded by the Ross family who have over 70 years experience in roofing. Tilcor is now a leading global brand with roofs now installed in over 80 countries around the world. Tilcor's design focus is on clever, functional products that provide fast install times and an aesthetic look to suit any architecture. Tilcor ensures that their distributors are experienced and trustworthy companies that are able to provide professional advice with a complete back-up sales service so that homeowners are completely satisfied with their new roof.
