Additional elements serve to hide joints and end parts, angles of varying complexity from precipitation and blowing winds. They give the building structures a finished and beautiful view.

The need to use additional elements is due to the presence on the roofs of chimneys and architectural breaks, drainage and ventilation openings, antenna outlets, creating some difficulties in the installation of the roof. It is to eliminate these complexities and are designed roofing additional elements.
