In the history of prefabrication, the TAU Roofing System represents a particularly important reference point for its parabolic extrados.
Its longevity is the result of continuous technical and typological updates, not only required by evolving regulations, but especially designed to meet the design needs that characterize current trends.
It is the structure that combines the advantages of both a flat roof and a double-pitch roof to the highest parametric standards.
TAU roof beams have been designed to cover spans from 12.00 m to 32.00 m.
Their characteristic is to have a parabolic extrados and a linear intrados. The width of the extrados, which can measure from 80 cm to 120 cm, allows for a great capacity of rainwater runoff, ensuring optimal waterproofing of the roof.
The linear intrados of the TAU beams allows for the application of a variety of flat suspended ceilings that enable the most varied internal finishes.
It is possible to easily insert systems above the suspended ceiling. The internal lighting of buildings can be achieved from the roof either with flush skylights or with shed elements.
The functional aspects of a roof are well-known, and it can be summarized that it must separate the internal environment from the external one, offering the required design characteristics.
Today, however, superstructures are being designed, to which the TAU roof responds with the usual maximum functional level. One example among others is the installation of integrated photovoltaic systems, of which Manini Prefabbricati boasts extensive and long-standing experience.
Just to mention one among its many performances, the TAU roof allows for the fixing of the photovoltaic panel frame, thus preserving the waterproofing of the roof itself, without the need for perforations.
