Cold Roof Constructions (FixPoint PV)
The FixPoint PV can be fitted to cold roof constructions with either liquid or bituminous membranes and in new build or retrofit situations.
In cold roof constructions the Fixing Point is normally fixed directly to the roof deck using the 7mm Ø holes in the fixing plate. It is suggested that all fixing holes are used to achieve the maximum uplift values.
Subject to calculations and testing it is often the case that the IFP units can be positioned with no reference to the structural supporting members within the roof construction eg joists or purlins.
Where used with bituminous roofing systems it is suggested that the IFP is fitted with cap sheet although underlay sheets can be used. In both cases, a reinforced sheet is required.
