Summary for decision-makers

The TECTYS Harpoon hook, offered by IMERYS Toiture, represents a key innovation for fixing tiles, acting as a storm-proof device. Thanks to its ingenious design, combining a tension spring and a beveled tip, this hook sinks into the batten, ensuring reliable fixation in the face of bad weather. The design takes into account crucial factors such as the roof slope and wind exposure, thus guaranteeing optimal protection against the effects of pressure and depression during storms.

Compliant with DTU standards (series 40), the TECTYS Harpon hook is universal, allowing tradespeople to improve their efficiency and the durability of their work. IMERYS Toiture provides a complete kit including 500 assembled hooks, a hook holder, and an installation guide. This device represents an ideal solution for professionals, allowing them to ensure robust mechanical fixing of tiles while reducing the risk of damage.

IMERYS Roofing expands its range of functional roofing accessories. Following the launch of FELXEO® and ALTKA® waterproofing strips, here is the TECTYS Harpoon hook.

The TECTYS Harpoon hook: a reliable and universal fixing for your tiles

Reliable

Under the effect of the wind, the TECTYS Harpoon hook reinforces the fixing of the tiles by a harpooning principle. It is thus driven into the batten, under the combined action of a tensioning spring and its beveled tip in the direction of the slope. Fixing is a crucial step to prevent the tiles from flying off during storms or thunderstorms. The slope of the roof and exposure to the wind must be taken into consideration according to the pressure/depression effects.

Universal

Compliant with DTU (series 40), the TECTYS Harpoon hook is a universal model. This provides craftsmen with increased efficiency, safety, and durability when fixing all interlocking tiles.

IMERYS Roofing integrates the hook into a functional and complete kit, ideal for mechanically fixing tiles to the roof. It includes:

· 500 hooks arranged in groups of 25 on sticks

· A hook fastener

· An implementation guide.
