All roof mounting options in the Dimplex range are simple and effective. Options are available for a range of roof coverings, including plain or corrugated tiles, slates or flat roofs. Options for on-roof or roof integrated are provided.

Integrated

• Protrudes less than 60mm from roof covering.
• Sleek profile, mounted flush with roof.
• Back panel forms a weatherproof, integral part of the roof structure.
• Available for slate or tiles.
• Rapid installation with its unique back plate mounting enabling tiling to be completed before installing the collector.

Integrated with flashing kit

• For integrated collectors, an additional edge flashing that hides the pipes going into the roof and covers the gap between panels is available.

Free-standing

• Either landscape or portrait orientation.
• Suitable for flat ground or flat roofs.
• Panels can be mounted at 30° to 60°.
• Extra bracing available for areas where extreme wind and snow loadings are a concern.

On-roof mounting system

The on roof system uses 4 brackets fixed to the rafters of the roof. A mounting bar is attached to the brackets making it easy to fix the collectors on the roof.

• Protrudes less than 200mm from the roof covering, meeting permitted development planning requirements in England and Wales.
• Allows rapid installation with minimal adjustments to the existing roof.
• Flexible mounting system adaptable to the positioning of rafters.
• Can be mounted landscape or portrait.
• Collector angle is the same as the roof.

Roof hooks

There are 3 types of roof hook available, each for a different roof type. They are attached to the rafters which supports the collector’s weight. The hooks are designed to be used with minimal adjustments to the tiles. Weatherproofing is achieved by the tile overlaying the roof hook.

The plain tile hook, corrugated tile hook and slate hook each have a different profile for use with different tile thicknesses and profiles. The use of the correct hook is important to keep the collector close to the roof and to ensure that the collectors' weight is ditributed correctly.

Coach bolts

Coach bolts are fixed straight through the roof into the rafter below. The hole is sealed with rubber washers to prevent water ingress. The use of coach bolts gives a quick and neat installation, ideal for use with sheet metal roofs.
