2 Introduction to the Importance of Roofing Systems Dr. Christian Pohl, Managing Director, Monier Technical Centre

3 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: Brushwood, Straw and Thatch Wooden shingles and boards Slate and tiles Thatch Brush wood Tiles Wood shingles Slate Straw Page 2

4 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 Page 3

5 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 Page 4

6 Every roof is different - everywhere Page 5

7 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 Page 6

8 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

9 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 Page 8

10 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 Page 9
