(57) A sheet-metal roofing element (1a-1d) which in the laying of the roof is intended
to be placed in overlapping relationship with an adjacent roofing element, so as to
cover an intended roof area. The element has two mutually parallel long sides (5,
6) which are arranged to be placed perpendicular to the direction of the roof-pitch.
Provided along at least one of the long sides is a batten-forming spar or beam (7),
while that part (8) of the surface of the roofing element located between the long
sides is contoured, to enable the element to absorb loads, such as load exerted by
a person or snow, and to transmit the load to the aforementioned spar (7).
In accordance with the invention at least a part (9) of the aforementioned spar (7)
is made of a material which, in combination with the thickness thereof, has a higher
mechanical strength than the remainder of the roofing element (1), and the aforementioned
part (9) of the spar and the remainder of the roofing element (8) form a unit.
