The proper ventilation of the pitched roof structure is necessary (see the relevant guideline of ÉMSZ and Application Guideline of
Underlays - Masterplast Group International). Ventilating must be continuous between the eaves and ridge - as much as it possible.
Fresh, colder air must be ensured by the eaves, that moving up between the counter battens and transports the moisture appear-
ing under the roofing to the ridge where it ventilates out. Furthermore, the here streaming air is cooling the hot roof covering on
the backside in summer, thus also reducing the heat-load of the built-in spaces in the roof and the aging of the underlay.
Available Code Conditions of the proper ventilation are defined by standards, guidelines (see: Application Guideline of Underlays - Masterplast
Group International). In case of a normal pitched roof (α>20°, length of rafters is maximum 10 m, with tile roofing), the minimal free

tiles generally have smaller free cross-section, so 2–3 pieces of them would be necessary among each rafters. Application of roof
accessories is much cheaper, more efficient, and aesthetic, while prevent birds and large insects from getting beneath the roofing.
-40 °C–
+100 °C Clamps, fastenings, safety elements:
In many cases, the roofing tiles do not have to be individually fastened, but in case of certain pitches and details, their fastening
may become necessary (according to the application rules of the manufacturers of roof covering). However, ridge tiles must be
always fastened and Masterplast offers clamps for numerous ridge tiles.
Masterplast also offers the most frequently used snow guides, which prevents from the sudden sliding of snow, thus avoiding per-
sonal injuries and damages. The appropriate place and number of snow guides depends on the type of roof covering material, on the
TYVEK® Metal shape of the roof, as well as on the height of the building (according to the application rules of the manufacturers of roof covering).
