🇦🇹 Vorarlberg, Austria

Roofing in Bregenz

Bregenz sits between Lake Constance and the Pfänder, which gives it very high precipitation and lake-driven wind on an exposed shoreline. Roofs here are worked by water far more than by snow, and rainwater sizing is routinely the first thing our survey finds undersized.

Local conditions

What a roof in Bregenz is up against

A lakeside historic core, terraced hillside housing on the Pfänder slopes, and contemporary Vorarlberg construction.

Who decides permits here

Vorarlberger Baugesetz, adopting the OIB directives in the Vorarlberg version.

  • Very high annual precipitation, with rainwater goods frequently undersized for it

  • Lake-driven wind exposure along the shoreline

  • Steep Pfänder slopes above the town bring alpine snow into short range
