00:00:15.220 --> 00:00:19.000
This house is something truly special –  

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.000
because it has a very unique type of roof.  

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.000
There is no conventional roof truss.  

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.000
We work with a fully solid roof.  

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.000
Fully solid means: it doesn’t stop with the walls.  

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:38.000
The roof itself is also made of solid material.  

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:43.000
It only needs plastering from below –  
making the roof practically a fifth wall.  

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:56.000
Aerated concrete is an ecological building material.  

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:02.000
It is produced with little energy and simple natural resources.  

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:06.000
Another advantage: in the Leipzig region  
airports and railways play an important role.  

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.000
There, increased sound insulation is especially important.  

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:20.000
In summer, the roof surface can heat up  
to 80 or even 90 degrees.  

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.000
Nevertheless, it stays pleasantly cool underneath.  

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.000
That is thanks to the mass and weight of the roof panels.  

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:31.000
In winter, the roof keeps the warmth inside.  

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:36.000
It provides excellent insulation,  
enhanced by the additional roof insulation.  

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:42.000
That is a major advantage  
compared to a conventional wooden roof truss.  

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:47.000
And: the roof is very easy to install.  

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:52.000
The panels are up to six meters long.  

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.000
They are simply laid onto the roof.  

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.000
On the outside, we connect them to the walls  
using a ring beam.  

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.000
For 13 years, we have been building in Leipzig  
individual, solid single-family houses.  

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.000
We work together with local craftsmen.  

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.000
That ensures the highest quality.  

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:20.000
The Hebelhaus solid roof –  
a smart investment in the future.
