Warm Roof Constructions (FixPoint)
This FixPoint can be fitted to warm roof constructions with either liquid waterproofing or bituminous membranes and in new build or retrofit situations.
In warm roof constructions the Fixing Point is normally fixed through the completed roof and insulation into the roof deck using either the 7mm Ø holes for direct type fixings or the 17mm Ø holes for thermally broken type fixings. It is suggested that as many as possible of the fixing holes are used to achieve the maximum uplift values.
Subject to calculations and testing it is often the case that the Fixing Point units can be positioned with no reference to the structural supporting members within the roof construction eg joists or purlins.
Where used with single ply roofing systems it is important that the Fixing Point is fitted with the same membrane that the main roof is weathered in to avoid any compatibility issues.
