D-Plate

D-Plate

The D-Plate is a fully pre-assembled roof replacement panel with direct load transfer into the roof structure. The one-piece steel plate is an exact replica of the roof tile model being replaced, eliminating the need for any tile cutting. This makes it the fastest roof replacement panel in the SL Rack portfolio.
Suitable for both rafter and between-rafter installation, it supports horizontal and vertical rail mounting. The height-adjustable bracket enables precise levelling on uneven roof surfaces. Featuring the patented SL Rack standard Clamp Combination with German General Building Authority approval (abZ), it also complies with the ZVDH DDH 8.4 guidelines (ZVDH is the German Central Association of the Roofing Trade). This provides maximum planning reliability and legal certainty for installers and property owners.

Its powder-coated finish ensures a high-end appearance and seamless integration into the roof.
The D-Plate is available in Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016) and Brick Red (RAL 8004) for numerous popular roof tile models, including Frankfurter Pfanne, Erlus E58S, Erlus Forma, Erlus Reformpfanne XXL, Creaton MZ3 “new”, Beavertail and many more.
