The sarking film
A permeable underlay film prevents moisture from penetrating from the outside to the inside (e.g. from blowing snow) and soaking through the insulation. At the same time, it transports moist air from the inside and the insulation to the outside.

Sandwich panels roof/wall
Sandwich panels are self-supporting elements with an outer covering shell, usually made of metal, and an inner covering shell, which can be made of metal, synthetic or other materials. Both cover shells are connected shear resistantly to an insulating core, which can be either polyurethane (for best insulation values) or rock or mineral wool (for best fire protection properties and sound insulation values).

Roofing and cladding in the classic look of a trapezoidal metal sheet. Corrugated or wave profiles usually consist of fully galvanised and colour-coated high-grade steel, but they can also be made of aluminium, stainless steel, dyed-through plastic or copper. If used for cladding a wall, profiled sheets can be mounted horizontally or vertically.

Thanks to the smallest possible profile height (from 2mm) they are best suited as door or gate cladding. Notwithstanding, they can also be used for cladding the wall (substructure with small distances between supports or solid planking).
