STN 73 3610

STN 73 3610 is a Slovak technical standard which specifies principles for the design and use of tinsmith elements and structures of roofs and faces of buildings. It determines the technical requirements for materials, structure and roof drainage in order to ensure long-term service life and reliability of the roof system.

The standard contents

1. The standard deals with categorizations of roof cladding according to slope, structure and material used. 
2. It defines the requirements for materials such as waterproofing, thermal insulation and load-bearing structures.
3. It specifies the rules for roof cladding design, drainage and wind and snow loads.
4. It defines the requirements for vapour barrier and ventilation that protect the roof from water vapour condensation .
5. It determines the principles of proper drainage of rainwater, including the design of gutter systems and water inlets.
6. It also describes the rules of proper installation and quality control during the implementation of the roof.

Why is this standard important

The standard STN 73 3610 ensures that building roofs are resistant, safe and functional. It determines the minimum technical requirements that roofs must meet to withstand the weather conditions. It allows roof structures to be designed and implemented in accordance with building standards.
