Why choose the Ekoternit plastic roof covering?
Lighter than traditional materials
One of the main advantages of the Ekoternit plastic roof covering is its low weight. 1 m² of the covering weighs just 5.88 kg! On an average roof of around 140 m² that means a saving of more than 5,000 kg compared with a ceramic tile.
Thanks to this, the covering is ideal for renovations of older buildings, because there is often no need to reinforce the existing roof structure. The light weight of the material also makes installation easier and faster, which can mean lower labour costs.
| Range | EB1 | EB2 | EB3 | EB4 | Strong EB2 |
| Weight (kg/pc) | 0.77 | 1.35 | 1.00 | 0.77 | 0.70 |
| Weight per area (kg/m2) | 7.30 ± 0.35 | 8.60 ± 0.35 | 7.30 ± 0.35 | 7.30 ± 0.35 | 5.80 ± 0.20 |
Colour variants
Ekoternit stands out from the competition with its range of colour variants. We offer the covering in the popular black, the modern graphite and grey, or in the traditional red. Whether you prefer traditional colours or modern shades for a unique look for your roof, with Ekoternit you can match your roof to the facade and the overall design of your house.
Quick availability
Our Ekoternit plastic roof covering can be delivered within 14 days of ordering. You do not have to wait long for the material to arrive and you can get started on your roof renovation quickly. Thanks to high demand we have increased our production capacity, and the short delivery time is now one of our greatest benefits, appreciated especially by those who need a fast solution.
Suitable for battens
In our roofing portfolio you will find the Ekoternit STRONG EB2 covering, which thanks to its design and light weight is suitable for installation on battens. It is a stronger and lighter version of the traditional Ekoternit EB2 covering. That means it is ideal for renovations of older roofs, where the high weight of traditional roof coverings can be a problem. Installation on battens is also simple and fast, which again reduces installation costs.
Affordable quality
Ekoternit offers high quality at a favourable price. Thanks to modern production processes and the use of quality materials, you get a roof covering that is resistant to weather, UV radiation and mechanical damage. The plastic covering is also maintenance-free, which means further savings of money and time in the long run.
The environmental aspect
The production of our Ekoternit plastic roof covering is gentle on the environment. We use recyclable materials and modern production technologies that minimise our environmental footprint. Thanks to this you can have not only a beautiful and functional roof, but also contribute to protecting the environment.
Sound insulation
Ekoternit PVC coverings provide sound insulation. Unlike some types of covering they dampen falling rain, so instead of the noisy drumming of drops you hear a gentler rustle. We also tested this property with a sound level meter and measured 40 decibels. That is a level which is lost in ordinary household noise or in a quiet conversation, while other roofs reach up to 60 dB.
Conclusion
The Ekoternit plastic roof covering is the ideal choice for everyone looking for a lightweight, durable and attractive roof. With our choice of colours, short delivery time, easy installation on battens and affordability, Ekoternit is an excellent choice not only for renovations but also for new buildings.
