Mechanical Fastening Systems for Flat Roofing Membranes

Anchoring with mechanical fastenings offers a lot of advantages over the systems we have already discussed. 

Advantages of Mechanical Fastening for Flat Roof Systems

For example, there is no restriction on processing due to temperature, weather, surface properties or the building use. With regards to the fire load, the use of mechanical fastenings is permitted without certification according to DIN 18234, the so-called Industrial Directive, unlike with bonded structures. With mechanical fastening, the whole roof package is fastened in one work step and is therefore the most economical solution for the contractor when it comes to assembly time.

Installation Methods for Mechanical Roof Fasteners

The installation process for the mechanical fasteners can be done either with the aid of an installation tool or manually by hand and offers a defined and comprehensible type of mounting. 

Inspection, Maintenance and Repair Advantages of Mechanically Fastened Roofs

In the event of damage, providing evidence for it is extremely simple: if the contractor has installed the required number of fasteners according to the initial sizing, there is no fault on behalf of the contractor.

Should the roofing need to be dismantled, the clean separation of the individual layers for segregated and environmentally-friendly waste disposal is no problem either.
