26.10.2022 - New for flat roofs: ALTEC FD_Optiflex-10

ALTEC Metalltechnik has added a new mounting system for flat roofs to its product range: The Optiflex-10 is a ballast-optimised solution with an inclination of 10 °. The name says it all: The mounting system stands out thanks to its flexibility.

Few components – wide application range

The mounting system is manufactured from light, durable aluminium and can be installed on flat roofs with a roof inclination of up to 10° (with additional securing in the direction of the roof pitch where necessary). The following mounting variants are possible:

  • East-west system with clamping of the modules on the short side
  • East-west system with clamping of the modules on the long side
  • South system with clamping of the modules on the short side
  • South system with clamping of the modules on the long side

The same components (= supports) are used for all application areas. This allows for a quick and easy change of the module size if necessary. If the clamping is made on the long side, ALTEC will deliver the system with an additional rail; this prevents the modules from bending under high snow loads.

The mounting systems can be ballasted by using angle profiles. In addtion, it is compatible with all ALTEC module clamps.

The wide contact surface of the rails helps to protect the roof cladding, as do system mats (available with or without aluminium lamination).

Installation is extraordinarily easy as only two tools are required.

Further advantages of the new flat roof system

  • Suitable for many module sizes (width: 990-1150 mm; length: 1500-2200 mm)
  • Mounting on bitumen, foil, gravel and concrete
  • No roof penetration
  • Distance to roof edge up to 0.5 m
  • Tested in wind tunnel
  • Large-area load distribution due to wide base rails
  • Integrated cable duct
  • Cost-effective transport: two rail lengths (maximum 2.57 m)
