[1] The published allowable wind uplift values are derived from full-scale
structural tests, conducted by an independent test lab utilizing state-of-the-art
ASTM E 1592 chamber procedure.
This test evaluates the following
panel performance considerations:
a. panel buckling strength
b. sidejoint disengagement resistance
c. clip/sidejoint disengagement resistance
d. clip strength
e. panel stiffness
[2] Products tested in 2.0 ft. and 5.0 ft. multi-span configurations,
with intermediate values arrived at via interpolation.
[3] Do not extrapolate beyond charted
values.
[4] These values do not include clip-to-structure
connection considerations.
* Panel widths in inches as follows:
305 mm = 12''
400 mm = 15.75''
500 mm = 19.75'' (nominal)
Unique Attachments
Bemo has the unique ability to use
two different panel attachment methods. Since the metal industry
has continued to evolve and mature, there has been an increase in
the demand to use more natural metals like copper, zinc, stainless
steel and aluminum.
Bemo is able to meet the unique individual
design and performance needs of each substrate. Thermal expansion
and contraction in long length panels is easily accomplished with
Bemo?s exclusive halter and stainless steel sliding hook clip attachment
systems.
Rolling to the Roof/Lifting Equipment
The powerful mobile factory mills
are operated from specially designed tilt-trailers. This combination
allows Bemo panels to be run directly to the roof installation area,
greatly increasing productivity and reducing crane costs.
Pre-Clipping - Time Savings
The unique nature of the Bemo Halter
system allows the roofing contractor to pre-install all of the Halter
clips prior to panels arriving on site.
Superior System
A state-of-the-art roof system requires
superior components that have been completely engineered and tested.
All Bemo components are designed to fully integrate and enhance the
overall performance of the whole roof envelope. From our exclusive
halters, hook-clips and gable halters, to combination closures and
snow-retention systems, you can be assured that the crucial aspects
of the thermal and weathering characteristics have been completely
addressed for all environmental and climatic conditions.
On-going research and development
assures our customers that Bemo products and services will meet or
exceed the latest industry requirements.
