🇦🇹 Oberösterreich, Austria

Roofing in Wels

Wels is a compact commercial and industrial centre on the Traun, with a roofscape dominated by large low-pitch commercial buildings and a dense band of post-war housing. Flat roof waterproofing and falls, rather than tile, make up most of the work here.

Local conditions

What a roof in Wels is up against

A small protected centre, extensive post-war housing, and a large commercial and industrial roofscape.

Who decides permits here

Oberösterreichische Bauordnung, adopting the OIB directives in the Upper Austrian version.

  • Large low-pitch commercial roofs where falls and outlet sizing decide the outcome

  • Post-war housing built to superseded energy standards

  • Traun valley fog and winter inversions keep roofs damp for long periods
