Cuprotect® for roof shielding

Cuprotect®, Cuprotect®Spezial and Cuprotect®A1

No roof penetration with Cuprotect®A1 roof shielding

We recommend to use Cuprotect®A1 because of its highest shielding effectivity and its thickness (corrosion protection).

This type of installation is the most inexpensive shielding of a tiled roof with highest protection against electromagnetic waves.

Roof shielding with Cuprotect®

The Cuprotect® shielding mesh is fixed horizontally onto rafters with conductive copper or stainless steel staples. Battens and counterbattens are fixed with stainless steel screws. Wind braces must be electrically insulated from the Cuprotect® mesh at contact points (see arrow).

In roof areas the connection between the sheets shall always be made with fell seams.
