Abstract
This paper is presented in German. The use of sloping roof sytems, which consist of sloping insulating panels and valley sloping panels, allows water to be drained properly while at the same time offering enhanced heat insulation, therefore increasing the reliability of the seal on flat roofs. The physical function layers which are integrated in the roof seal as a whole (vapor pressure compensation layer - sea/polymer bitumen and bitumen strips - lightweight surface protection) and their use, must be regarded as being dependent on the sloping insulating material used.
