English term or phrase: spas and ridge sections
Hi all,

in einer Info-Broschüre eines britischen Herstellets von Dachverglasungen und Dachlaternen heißt es:

"[...] This creates a clean, classic feel that is suited to complement property styles of all types. No matter if your home is modern, traditional or new build: our roof lanterns are sure to suit.

To enhance this further, the slim sections are only 64mm wide, allowing the ***spas and ridge sections*** to be amongst the slimmest on the market. Combined with the sculpted bosses, you’ll be able to enjoy an aesthetic that is traditionally associated with a timber construction. We make it easy to enjoy the best of both.[...]

Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen, wie man diese Teile passenderweise auf Deutsch nennt?

Herzlichen Dank im Voraus!

Dachsparren- und Dachfirst-Abschnitte


Explanation:
I suppose that "spars and "ridge sections" are subjected.

spar
(1) angular pebbles or limestone …
(2) a rafter
:
ridge – The horizontal line on top of double pitched roof, between the two slopes. Win forces at the ridge can be double those on the general areas of roofing.
(Penguin Dictionary of Building)

spar
(1) any piece of nautical gear resembling a pole …
(2) a principal supporting structural member of an aerofoil that runs from tip to tip or root to tip
(WHSmith/Collins English Dictionary)

A rafter is one of a series of sloped structural members that extend from the ridge or hip to the wall plate, downslope perimeter or eave, and that are designed to support the roof deck and its associated loads.[2] A pair of rafters is called a couple. In home construction, rafters are normally made of wood. Exposed rafters are a feature of some traditional roof styles.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafter

Als Sparren oder Dachsparren bezeichnet man in Dachkonstruktionen die Träger, die von der Traufe zum First verlaufen und die Dachhaut tragen. In der Aufsicht sind sie üblicherweise rechtwinklig zum First angeordnet.[1] Der Dachsparren kommt entweder als geneigter Einfeldträger oder geneigter Mehrfeldträger, jeweils mit oder ohne Kragarm vor.[2]
:
Das Wort Sparren ist im Deutschen seit dem 11. Jahrhundert belegt (mittelhochdeutsch "sparre", althochdeutsch "sparro"), es wird eine gemeinsame Grundlage mit dem Verb "sperren" in der Bedeutung "Balken aufrichten, Beine spreizen (wie die Sparren auf dem Dach)" angenommen.[3]
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparren#Wortherkunft
(Anm.: Man darf auch für "spa(r)" die gleiche (indogermanische) Wurzel annehmen.

Als Dachfirst (kurz First) bezeichnet man die meist waagerechte obere Kante eines Satteldaches oder anderer Dachformen. Bei gewölbten und runden, tonnenförmigen Dachkonstruktionen verläuft der First am Scheitelpunkt des Bogens.

The slimmest of sections are married together through carefully sculpted bosses and entirely hidden fixings to ensure that the beautiful sight-lines flow unbroken and gracefully from the ridge down through the spas
:
At only 57mm wide the spas and ridge sections are amongst the slimmest currently available on the market.

To enhance this further, the slim sections are only 57mm wide, allowing the spas and ridge sections to be amongst the slimmest on the current market.

The slim elegant Korniche fits perfectly in any home by retaining traditional features in a contemporary setting.

Reference: Major typo for bars?

Reference information:
When compared against a more standardised PVCu capped conservatory/lantern roof offered by competitors you will discover our 40mm wide glazing bars and internal ridge section can reduce the visible width and sight-lines of the rafters by up to 30% and the main internal centre ridge section by as much as 70%. Again this ensures the maximum amount of glass area and natural light is achieved. https://www.rooflightexpress.co.uk/traditional-roof-lanterns...
