RIB-ROOF Lightweight Substructure

The lightweight steel substructure for RIB-ROOF metal roofing systems creates roof slopes on existing supporting structures and modular building frames. It provides a possible foundation for refurbishment projects, modular construction, and functional roof assemblies. By forming precise roof slopes on existing structures and prefabricated modules, the system creates clear conditions for drainage, load transfer, and installation. Low dead weight, high load-bearing capacity, and a well-designed system geometry support efficient on-site installation.

Lightweight by design.

Manufactured from corrosion-protected galvanized steel sheet, the substructure system is particularly well suited for refurbishment projects and modular construction methods. The design can be adapted to existing roof geometries and a wide range of slope requirements.

Built to carry loads safely.

The structural design is engineered for each project to accommodate dead loads, snow loads, wind loads, and additional imposed loads. The system of primary beams, spacer shoes, and purlins creates a robust support structure for RIB-ROOF metal roofing systems and can be combined with photovoltaic systems or green roof assemblies.
