EL SISTEMA BORJASAT RECIBE LA CERTIFICACIÓN TÉCNICA DIT+

EL SISTEMA BORJASAT RECIBE LA CERTIFICACIÓN TÉCNICA DIT+

Continuando con la búsqueda de la excelencia en cuanto a la gama de productos y soluciones para cubiertas, Tejas Borja anuncia la reciente obtención de la prestigiosa certificación DIT Plus para el innovador sistema de aislamiento de tejado BorjaSAT.

La certificación DIT Plus es otorgada por el Instituto de Ciencias de la Construcción Eduardo Torroja (IETcc – CSIC) y goza de gran reconocimiento en el sector, garantizando que un producto o sistema constructivo cumple los más altos estándares de calidad, seguridad y rendimiento. Siendo un reconocimiento a la fiabilidad y robustez de nuestro sistema BorjaSAT.

Con el Documento de Idoneidad Técnica se garantiza que un producto o sistema constructivo cumple todas las regulaciones vigentes para el uso al que está destinada la solución, en este caso, la cubierta inclinada.

La concesión del DIT Plus se basa en el comportamiento favorable del sistema constructivo para el empleo previsto frente a las exigencias de:

  • Resistencia mecánica y estabilidad.
  • Seguridad en caso de incendio.
  • Higiene, salud y medio ambiente.
  • Seguridad de utilización.
  • Protección contra el ruido.
  • Ahorro energético.
  • Uso sostenible de los recursos naturales.

Además, para su obtención se tiene en cuenta su comportamiento favorable ante la exigencia global de durabilidad; además del mantenimiento por parte del fabricante de las condiciones de autocontrol de la producción y el compromiso a prestar asistencia técnica en la puesta en obra.

El DIT Plus del sistema BorjaSAT contempla los siguientes aspectos:

  • Principio y descripción del producto.
  • Materiales que lo componen.
  • Elementos o componentes del sistema.
  • Fabricación.
  • Controles internos y externos sobre fabricación y puesta en obra.
  • Condiciones de transporte y almacenamiento.
  • Condiciones y proceso de puesta en obra.
  • Referencias de utilización del sistema en casos reales.
  • Ensayos de identificación, aptitud de empleo y durabilidad.
  • Criterios sobre la evaluación positiva de la aptitud de empleo y procedimientos de cálculo.
  • Observaciones y recomendaciones de la Comisión de Expertos convocada para cada DIT.
  • Detalles constructivos, puntos singulares, etc.

BorjaSAT es una solución técnica para la instalación y aislamiento por el exterior de cubiertas inclinadas, evitando puentes térmicos. Esto se consigue gracias a los paneles λSAT, fabricados por moldeo con poliestireno tipo Neopor ®. Los paneles llevan preparados los espacios donde se deben acoplar en obra los rastreles metálicos del sistema, que quedan encajados y fijados sobre los propios salientes que presenta el panel λSAT.

El mismo panel se fabrica en varios espesores de aislamiento, y es válido para todas las tejas cerámicas de la marca, porque funciona en dos distintos pasos de rastrel (370 mm y 395 mm), según se instalen los paneles en posición horizontal o vertical sobre la cubierta, que debe ser continua y estar previamente nivelada.

Tejas Borja confía con este nuevo hito que la certificación DIT Plus refuerce aún más la confianza del mercado en su gama de productos y sistemas, y así seguir colaborando con sus clientes y socios, así como dando apoyo a técnicos y prescriptores en sus proyectos y obras, para crear un entorno más seguro, sostenible e innovador.

First EASY ROOF INTEGRATION (ERI) Project in Spain

ERI_Entrepins-TejasBorja

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.

It is exciting to announce that Tejas Borja has, once again, been a protagonist in the Roof Tile Architecture Awards 2021-2023, organised by Hispalyt. This event recognises excellence in architecture through the use of ceramic tiles.
The jury of this edition, composed of renowned professionals of the sector, awarded the prizes in the three categories: New Construction, Refurbishment and the new category of Sustainability with Tile. We are proud to have collaborated on the winning projects that stand out for both their innovative design and their commitment to sustainability.

  • Roof tile manufacturer: Tejas Borja

The rehabilitation project has restored and replaced the structure with local stone and laminated wood, adding a Flat-10 Red ceramic flat tile roof. They have also added improvements in lighting, ventilation and photovoltaic solar panels. This intervention has sought to preserve the essence of the old building and its relationship with the landscape, using natural materials and passive bioclimatic strategies.

Sustainability Award:

  • Project: Alfacs
  • Studio: Bajet Giramé and JAAS (Maria Giramé Aumatell, Pau Bajet Mena, Manuel Julià)
  • Photography: Joan Guillamat

The transformation and renovation project involving two central buildings with visible C-50.21 Celler Shaded White curved tile pitched roofs, bungalows, a swimming pool, and new built terraces creates an environment of comfort and sustainability. With a focus on thermal inertia and the use of local materials, the project has revitalised the campsite, integrating natural and architectural elements that respect and enhance the coastal landscape, offering a unique and ecological experience for visitors.

While we celebrate and congratulate the teams involved and recognised for their projects, we underline the importance of the Hispalyt Roof Tile Architecture Awards as the biennial competition promoted with a double purpose: on the one hand, to value the architectural production of our country that uses ceramic tiles and, on the other, to seek a greater dissemination and social repercussion of the most significant works built during the corresponding period. It should be noted that, in the six editions held, several projects awarded for their architecture, design and use of roof tiles have used Tejas Borja ceramic roof tiles. This reaffirms our commitment to excellence and innovation in the sector.
