Soldering is the safest, tightest and most durable connection of metal components.

All of these qualifications are extremely important, especially when using metal workpieces on the roof and facade of buildings, in order to protect them against the ingress of water in the long term and thus against damage. In the area of roofing and building drainage, an indirect type of soft soldering is used, in which a permanent but detachable connection of the metal workpieces is made at a temperature of less than 450 ° C.
