First EASY ROOF INTEGRATION (ERI) Project in Spain

A wonderful renovated house with all the improvements on the roof side: insulation system, integration of photovoltaic panels and high quality roof tiles, thus achieving an aesthetic and functional integration.

Last June saw the first installation of the Easy Roof Integration (ERI) photovoltaic panel integration system in Spain. An ideal solution for photovoltaic installations integrated into the roof plane, so that they do not affect the watertightness or safety of the roof.

This project consisted of an energy refurbishment of a single-family house in Madrid. For the renovation work on the pitched roof, after removing the old tiles and cleaning up the support, the property and the technicians responsible for the project selected the BorjaSAT 140mm thick prefabricated panel system to insulate the roof of the house.

BorjaSAT is an external roof insulation solution, which forms a covering layer without thermal bridges, designed to be installed easily and without the need to set out the battens for fixing the tiles. With the 140mm panel, a transmittance of 0.22 W/m2k was obtained, a value well above what is required by the Technical Building Code in this climate zone.

With the thermal insulation solved, the other problem of this refurbishment was to be able to install a photovoltaic solar collection system that would not affect the design of the house so much. For this reason, the ERI integrated solution was chosen, where the photovoltaic panel is fixed on a system of watertight frames to the structure of the roof system’s battens.

This solution, in addition to improving aesthetics and integration, avoids future pathologies, such as leaks due to poor installation or expansion of the coplanar metal structures that are usually installed. It also eliminates the possibility of birds or rodents nesting under the panels, with the consequent damage to the wiring and aesthetic impact due to dirt.

Finally, in the event of storms with strong winds, as they are anchored and integrated into the plane of the tile, the panels cannot be torn off by strong gusts, as has happened on numerous occasions with installations superimposed on the roof, which constitute a danger to the integrity of pedestrians in the area.

To complete this refurbishment, the tile chosen was the TB-10 TECH Entrepins S-Interlocking roof tile. A large roof tile model manufactured by Tejas Borja with digital ceramic printing; an aged finish, created from HD photographs on real old tiles, giving the appearance of a recovered tile to a state-of-the-art product.

Leading innovation of modern roofing by Tejas Borja at Big 5 Dubai 2022

From 5^thto 8^th of December 2022 the largest and most influential event for the construction industry has been held in Dubai. The Big 5 Dubai 2022 has been home to the largest gathering of construction professionals in the Middle East, acting as the gateway between East and West and welcomed customers mainly from the Middle East, Gulf countries, India, Pakistan and even from Africa.

Tejas Borja, a flagship company in the innovation and improvement of clay rooftiles has been present in the Spanish Pavilion, organized in collaboration with ICEX. Its booth represented the most outstanding in terms of roofing products. The largest ceramic roof tile in the world, the FLAT-5XL, its exclusive finishes in digital/inkjet technology, BorjaJET, and the SOLAR roof tiles have been the attraction point in terms of pitched roofs design. There was a lot of interest in our presentation, mainly most of the enquiry was focused on the solar solution which is shown to be predominant in the sector.

As part of Edilians Group, Tejas Borja presented two roof tiles by Edilians: Diamant and Stretto. Here, the Stretto Red Cedar, the new finish in BorjaJET and the first manufactured on a French made roof tile, has excelled. It represents a new opportunity and an answer for buildings, to better adapt to architectural trends, especially in terms of customisation and aesthetic reproduction of other roofing materials.

Other products represented were the new TBS+ by Tejas Borja, Advance Lusa and Advance Dinamic of the Portuguese brand Umbelino Monteiro, also part of the Edilians Group.

As for the collaborators in the region, most of our distributors (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Iraq, India) participated and this allowed us to share with them and show them our support and collaboration in the current general situation.

In summary, Tejas Borja’s impression of this edition of the fair has been very positive, even more so after the pandemic years, as it has allowed us to regain direct contact with the main players in the sector and to show our presence with a range of products that are at the forefront in terms of technology and design.

During these 4 days of the event, our export team with Mª Ángeles Martínez as Export Director and Antonio Pascual as Export Manager together with our local partners, have welcomed the clients and established new commercial relationships in the area.
