🇦🇹 Kärnten, Austria

Roofing in Villach

Villach sits where the Drau and Gail valleys meet, close to both the Italian and Slovenian borders, and gets more precipitation than most of Carinthia. Wet snow — heavier per centimetre than dry alpine snow — is the loading case that catches out roofs specified from an inland average.

Local conditions

What a roof in Villach is up against

A historic centre, post-war housing, and alpine and lakeside properties in the surrounding valleys.

Who decides permits here

Kärntner Bauordnung, adopting the OIB directives in the Carinthian version.

  • High precipitation with heavy wet snow, which loads more than dry snow at the same depth

  • Valley confluence position channelling wind along two axes

  • Proximity to the Italian and Slovenian borders brings mixed construction traditions
