Technical sheet · Ventilated traditional roof
This ventilated roof build-up combines traditional Mallorcan curved clay tiles with modern insulation, moisture control and professional detailing. The system is designed to improve thermal performance, support a healthier indoor climate and preserve the architectural character of Mallorca.
Traditional clay roof finish that protects the roof and preserves its local architectural character.
Horizontal timber battens that support and position the roof tiles.
Vertical battens that create the drainage and ventilation cavity beneath the tile battens.
Breathable roofing underlay or continuous waterproof membrane selected according to roof pitch and project conditions.
Continuous PIR insulation improves thermal performance, reduces heat transfer and helps lower heating and cooling costs.
Used where required according to the verified hygrothermal design to help control moisture migration through the roof build-up.
Timber-based structural roof deck as shown in the approved detail.
Timber rafters supporting the complete roof build-up.
The roof pitch determines the permitted waterproofing system and the required tile overlap.
The waterproofing layer is selected according to roof pitch, exposure conditions and manufacturer requirements.
Continuous ventilation beneath the tiles helps remove moisture, reduces condensation risk and supports healthier indoor conditions.
Continuous PIR insulation improves thermal performance, reduces heat loss and helps lower heating and cooling costs.
Correct detailing, compatible materials and professional installation are essential for a durable roof system.
Fixing is selected according to wind load, tile type and manufacturer requirements.
