Roof and facade: protection from rain and cold

📖 Lesson ──▶ 🎯 Quiz — pick the translation ──▶ ✅ Lesson done

The roofer is one of the most dangerous and respected trades. The roof: tiles (~50 years), sheet metal (light), bitumen (flat). The underlay drains water. The facade: ETICS/WDVS (external insulation ~150 mm EPS/mineral wool plus render), clinker brick, render. The vapour barrier is the mould enemy: "breathing" layers.

●ETICS saves ~30% heating — pays off in ~8–10 years
●On the roof: 3 points of contact, fall protection mandatory
●The facade is the face: monument protection bans "any colour" in old areas

🏠 The GEG building energy law: facades from 2024 must be nearly "passive" — otherwise the CO₂ tax hits.
