Classic Design frees up users to personalize and rhythms a roof

Ruukki has launched a new Classic Design roof. It resembles a traditional vertical seam roof, but unlike the traditional Ruukki Classic roof, it is available in three different widths enabling the design of more diverse roofs. That means that homeowners can personalize their roof more freely because the width of the roof sheet determines how far apart the vertical seams are, and various widths of sheets can also be used in the same roof. Classic Design is a Premium-product and Ruukki grants up to a 50-year technical warranty for it.

“The popularity of personalized roofs is also growing all the time and Classic Design frees up and creates new opportunities for a more personal end result. The popularity of vertical seam roofs is constantly growing in Central and Eastern Europe and we want to bring new roofing products to our customer with which they can build the houses they really want,” explains Grzegorz Pucek, Business Director, CEE.

Ruukki Classic Design is easy and safe to install. For example, sheets can be installed either from right to left or vice versa. The corners of the panels have been rounded in order to avoid hand injuries during the installation. Unlike before, the sheets can also be ordered in short pieces, even at a length of 20 centimeters, which allows them to be used on the front board instead of conventional flashings.

Ruukki Classic Design is available in widths of 475, 355 and 271 millimeters and it is suitable for both new and refurbished houses. There are three different surfaces to choose from: a smooth, a micro-profiled one, and a surface with two longitudinal stiffening grooves and ridges in the middle of the sheet.

Classic Design will first be introduced in Ruukki's domestic markets in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, as well as to Ruukki's export market countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium. It will be released in resale outlets and Ruukki Express stores in August 2021).

The new Classic Design sheets are manufactured in Poland at Ruukki's Zyrardow plant, where a state-of-the-art, automated production line was introduced in June. The Classic Design roof is made from SSAB's GreenCoat-coated steel.
