In commercial and industrial environments specialist roof systems may sometimes be required, for example, over lift shafts and entranceways.
Many are pre manufactured as plastic coated flat panel steel roofs with integrated guttering and rainwater goods.
At Birmingham Industrial Roofinig, our expertise allows us to efficiently install these individual and often bespoke systems with a high degree of care and full compliance with technical specifications.
Installation Standards
Good roof design and product installation are significant factors in optimising the performance of steel and composites systems.
Birmingham Industrial Roofinig is a registered contractor and has been assessed for installation standards, financial property, health and safety and office management, and we ensure our installation roofers are trained in the products we install.
Our assurance that a waterproof, weatherproof and durable roof will be achieved is based on the individual photographic card certification for each roofing installer from each manufacturer. Our installers have attended manufacturers off site training and assessment and onsite monitoring by the manufacturer’s local field engineer.
Records are kept of all commercial work where a product warranty is issued and a manufacturer’s technical representative inspects the work.
Cut Edge Treatment/Cut Edge Corrosion
When the cut edges of coated metal cladding and sheeting are subject to exposure to the elements for long periods of time delamination may occur, meaning that the factory coating can peel back exposing the untreated metal underneath. Treating the edges of Sheeting will prolong the life of the existing metal cladding preventing any or further corrosion. Our specialist treatment comes with a long-term warranty.
Our cut edge treatment consists of thorough cleaning and preparation of the corroded area, followed by the application of the coating system.
Composite Panels
Composite panels are a three layer system. Consisting of a top sheet (the surface of the roof), the insulation layer and, the liner sheet which can be seen from the inside of the building. Wall cladding can come in a variety of various panel types that offer different profiles, colours, finishes and styles.
Eaves Detail Of Composite Panels
Various styles of cladding are in and are available in a variety of colours and finishes although there is a standard colour range.
Standing seam roofing, unlike a traditional pitched roof, has each sheet fixed to the structure of the building in one length. Standing Seam Roofing was first seen on large retail and industrial units, but is now increasingly used on smaller new builds; it has become an established style over the last decade.
Curved roofs also use the standing seam method and are fixed in much the same way as built up systems with an internal layer fixed in place first, followed by support brackets. The top sheet is often aluminium lending the roof a metallic & modern appearance but may also be specified in steel which can be prove to be a cost effective option in many cases.
