This vision shapes the R-MER metal
roofing system. Our top priority was,
and remains so today, to provide metal
roofing that is unbelievably simple and
quick to install. This has led to our
system solutions with a clever installa-
tion technique that is combined with the
highest product quality and excellent
operating efficiency. This is why R-MER
metal roofing systems will enable you
to immediately achieve the right results.
With its wide range of roofing variety,
different metals and surfaces, R-MER
metal roofing systems offer architectural
freedom combined with perfect func-
tionality. Take advantage of the manifold
possibilities of a time-tested system.

R-MER metal roofing systems are
distinguished by the innovative sliding
slot connection with its own sliding
clip system. The high degree of
prefabrication substantially reduces
construction time. In comparison with
conventional standing seam profiles,
R-MER offers maximum security in
planning the installation and in its
functionality.

R-MER metal roofing systems are tested for
their quality and safety. Despite wide clip
distances a R-MER roof is still walk-able and
self-supporting. This is an advantage you
will appreciate for renovation projects.

On your marks, get set, go! With R-MER
metal roofing systems you can use the
single clips to save time otherwise spent
on extensive measuring and pre-as-
sembly. The uniquely developed sliding
clip is screwed directly into the profiled
sheet. Fast work is possible. Mistakes in
measuring are avoided. R-MER metal
roofing systems always provide differ-
ent optimal clamping applications. The
optimised Profile-Clip geometry stays
in place perfectly no matter the type of
roof construction or substructure under
each sheet. This way, material expansion
caused by changes in temperature can
be balanced out. This is the superior
advantage of the R-MER system when
laying long sheet panels.
Using the R-MER standard clip you can work quickly and without mistakes.
While others are still flanging, you can already see the result.
All you need to install R-MER metal
roofing systems are hands that can
tackle work. It is not necessary to join
the standing seams again (zipping) and
mechanical flanging is also not neces-
sary. Furthermore, the profile sheets are
not rigidly coupled together so thermal
expansion is possible.
You can be sure that your R-MER roof
will keep it‘s form and shape over years.

Optimisation of costs and deadlines is an
important factor when having to construct a
supermarket as quickly as
possible - normally it already takes 4 months
from laying the foundation to opening day –
an important aspect to consider. That is why
large supermarket chains rely on R-MER metal
roofing systems. It is also the simple installa-
tion design without any complicated adjust-
ment and pre-setting up of clips that give our
system an unbeatable advantage in time. The
roof profile of this Supermarket was put into
place by 11 technicians in only three hours.

R-MER offers a wide range of facade
design with a variety of material, colours
and surfacing possibilities. Numerous
embossing options with small bending
radius make distinctive building silhou-
ettes possible. Furthermore, the building
surface has a clearly structured appear-
ance with R-MER elements installed
both vertically or horizontally: This is a
design possibility that embodies any fa-
cade with a high degree of elegance. The
installation of all elements and acces-
sories ensures a flawless facade since
there are no visible mounting parts.
Modern architectural concepts lift barriers between roof

systems provide you with a comprehen-
sive range of functional features to fit
all of your building and roofing require-
ments. Shapely surfacing for the roof
ridge, eaves or rainwater pipe and gable
will optimise the overall look.

roof light domes, or chimneys can be re-
alised according to all norm and security
standards. Lightning protection, walkway

R-MER SYSTEM ACCESSORIES
THE PERFECT DETAILS
Safety on the roof!
Working on the roof must be approached with
special care, particularly as building engi-
neering services are more frequently being
installed on roof surfaces. That is why building
laws have been changed to ensure that own-
ers and contractors take more responsibility
to avoid the high number of accidents due to
falling off, or through, roofs when carrying out
repair, inspection or cleaning work.
R-MER has its own special system of security
features to prevent accidents on new buildings
and, of course, to upgrade and retrofit metal
roofs that have already been built. With this
system you can fulfil your responsibilities as
building owners and contractors easily and
quickly.
Take advantage of a tried-and-tested system with a wide
range of accessories and numerous individual solutions.

Mounting photovoltaic and solar
modules on to a rooftop increases
value in a sustainable manner. Whether
it is a new building, roof renovation
or upgrading an older structure,
R-MER metal roofing systems allow
you to choose from a wide variety of
possibilities: Elevated or modules that
are parallel to the roof, UniSolar film
laminate is directly installed on the roof
surface or mounted on plates. The solar-
laminated option blends in perfectly
and is ideal for curved and rounded roof
shapes.

None of us should close our eyes to
the challenges of climate change.
R-MER metal roofing systems pay
off not only from a financial point of
view. Ecologically speaking, R-MER
metal roofing systems also help the
environment, for example, by using
renewable resources such as wood for
distance construction, thereby reducing
emission by decreasing thermal bridges.
While others are still looking for answers, we already have
solutions.

This has always been our goal for
supply and disposal which is why our
products not only always use state-of-
the-art technology, but are integrated
with quality and our own environmental
management system. We are continually
developing our manufacturing tech-
nology further in order to achieve a
longer life for our products along with
optimal energy recovery, therefore
avoiding damage to the environment.
Technology and progress in harmony with nature
Energy reduction measures put
high demands on new buildings
and renovation of older structures.
While energy-reducing measures are
required by several of the metal roofing
systems that are currently available
on the market in order to fulfil legal
requirements, R-MER metal roofing
systems need no further adjustment.
An R-MER surface has optimal values
concerning thermal transmittance,
without any further complicated additional
measures. Buildings with R-MER metal
roofing system are good for both the
environment and your bank account.
