During the modern restoration of the object, scales and rhombuses made of titanium-zinc from the RHEINZINK company were used as roofing materials.
The "rhombus" technique (scales, shingles) is suitable for covering pitched roofs with a slope of 35 ° and gives any roof an impressive appearance. Rhombuses are produced in both standard and individual sizes and in different shapes: rectangular, pointed, etc. Rhombuses can be adjusted to almost all radii of curvature, which is ideal for facing towers, domes, both in the field of protection of architectural monuments and reconstructions, and in new construction.
