Range of Dimond roof profiles either factory run up to 30m or run on site up to 90m long
Either Clip fixed or screw fixed roof profiles can be used
Slotted roof rail to allow condensation to dry out and reduce relative humidity under roof
Slotted roof rail to allow shorter roof fixings and to avoid roof fasteners penetrating the insulation

Scope of Use

Any roof pitch above 3 degrees in roof runs up to 90m
Ultimate wind loads up to 5 kPa are handled by screws or clip fixings
R values up to 6.35 m2 C/W

Acoustic performance of the PIR insulation carries a STC 33 Rating. Better STCs can be obtained by using an additional high density layer under the roof on top of the insulation.

The Liner sheet can take foot traffic loads of 1kN on internal purlin spans up to 3.4m and act as both a working platform and means of rapid enclosure of the building space below.

Limitations on Use

Roof pitches below 3 degrees would need a membrane top layer which replaces the top roof sheet and slotted roof rail
Corrosive environments can limit the durability of steel components
