English translation:roof cladding
Explanation:
Hi FedericaC
I believe Faldaleria refers to a variety of roof cladding components that are installed beneath the tiles. The main elements are "ridge capping", "hip capping" and "flashing". These parts provide rainwater runoff from areas of the roof that cannot be efficiently protected by the normal solutions of tiles and underlayments.
