Extreme weather occurs frequently, how does metal roofing system create building safety line?

In recent years, coastal areas have been frequently affected by extreme weather, and strong convective events have occurred frequently. According to the statistics of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, there have been 13 strong convective processes in China since the beginning of this year. At the end of April, Guangzhou was hit by a tornado, the local villagers' houses were damaged, a large area of power failure, resulting in 5 deaths and 33 injuries, and 141 factories were damaged, which brought great challenges and tests to the local industrial buildings.

The weight of wind resistance, the way of building safety

In the face of these natural disasters, the wind resistance of the metal roof system is particularly important. As an important part of industrial buildings, the wind resistance of the metal roof system is directly related to the overall stability and safety of the building. Coastal cities are densely built, and when extreme weather conditions occur, once the wind resistance of the metal roof system is insufficient, it is easy to cause the roof to be torn and scattered, bringing immeasurable losses to life and property.

At the end of the 1970s, new materials and technologies for building molded steel plates entered China. With the continuous development of the metal enclosure industry, almost all new light steel structure industrial buildings across the country use metal roofing systems. At the beginning of the development, due to the immature technical specifications, there were many cases of house roof damage caused by extreme weather damage, and with the release of various current national standards, the overall quality of the project has been improved, but the impact of extreme weather in coastal areas, metal roof damage events still occur.

Wind-resistant upgrades are the three keys to a solid metal roofing system

So, how to improve the wind resistance of metal roofing system? First of all, when the building faces extreme weather, the metal roofing system will be affected by huge wind suction under the action of strong winds, from the feasibility of the metal roofing system in extreme weather conditions, to the roofing system material, fixing method, fixed parts spacing, quantity, quality, thickness, are facing the limit test. A little neglect, it is easy to appear the roof is rolled up, torn and so on. Therefore, the system design needs to be able to resist the destructive power brought by extreme weather, followed by the selection and control of materials, the third installation and construction process standards and specifications, and the final regular inspection and maintenance is also essential, only to keep the metal roof system intact, in order to ensure its lasting wind resistance.

Wiskind's powerful technology helps protect against strong winds

In the metal roofing system, the vertical lock joint roofing system is a high-strength, lightweight new metal roofing system, its common practice is to fix the fixed support with bolts on the main structure purlin, and then the metal roof plate is fastened on the fixed support, and finally the adjacent roof plate roll edge through the electric locking machine and the support vertical plate for biting.

As a professional supplier of metal containment systems, wiskind has put product quality and technological innovation first for more than 40 years. The SR6® upright lock Joint roofing system developed by wiskind is a prefabricated high-performance metal roofing system with superior wind resistance. It has passed the US FM certification wind resistance test and the Chinese standard static and dynamic wind resistance test, and can resist the attack of super typhoons 17.

In metal roofing systems, the support is the core component of the connection between the panel and the main structure. The SR6® vertical lock roof system uses high-performance sliding supports to provide good rolling force while perfectly releasing the internal stress of thermal expansion and cold contraction. The support slide is aluminum-zinc plated anti-corrosion material to ensure its service life. The overall system design is higher than the national standard requirements, and high-quality escort projects in coastal areas can resist strong winds.

As a prefabricated metal roofing system, SR6® uses modular pre-punching technology to make installation as precise and fast as building blocks, ensuring fast and efficient construction. It has been applied in Yantai One Plus power material workshop, Wenzhou Jintian Plastic Industry, Jingmen Yiwei Lithium Energy, Changsha Desai Battery and many other projects.

Peroration

In recent years, in the face of a number of accidents involving metal roofing being opened by wind in coastal and inland wind areas, the requirements for metal roofing technology in many places are becoming more and more perfect. The wind resistance of metal roofing systems is undoubtedly necessary to protect the safety of industrial buildings in coastal areas, and wiskind will continue to be committed to technological innovation and product optimization to provide customers with safer and more reliable metal enclosure solutions to jointly cope with the challenges brought by extreme weather and contribute to building a better future.
