Vm Zinc Warm Roof Build Up

Vmzinc is one of the leader of innovative solutions in zinc for building envelop.

Vm zinc warm roof build up.

A bituminous vapour barrier is recommended. Warm zinc roof construction can also use timber substrates but the need to reduce cold bridging in many countries has led to the use of rigid insulation boards and composite insulation boards or sandwich panels as the direct substrate under the zinc. Above this slope it should be considered wall cladding. With this warm roof system vmzinc plus standing seam can be installed on metdeck composite panels without ventilating the underside of the vmzinc plus.

Our products make installers work easier. For standing seam build ups a roof would have a slope of no more than 70º compact roof 60º. Construction system combining a standing seam roofing in zinc plus with rigid mineral wool insulation laid on supporting structures in steel wood or concrete. Non vented warm roof build ups as well as on vented cold roof build ups.

Vmzinc will only give a warranty for recommended build ups and details. All wall cladding should be ventilated. The minimum slope for zinc roofs is 3º as built. Because vmzinc is suitable for all roof pitches above 3 5 and for all types of shapes straight curved folded etc it offers freedom of expression for roof design.

Vmzinc answers every architectural demand. Our material and its aspects inspire architects and make it possible to design unique buildings that respect the environment. For a pitch lower than 14º the joints must be taped between 14º 22 there must be an overlap of 200mm just steeper than 22 or unless it changes above 40º there must be an overlap of 150mm.

Between the zinc plus and the insulation the vmzinc breather membrane link to 8 1 vmzinc membrane is fixed with an overlap depending on the pitch. Vmzinc proposes many roofing systems and materials for the zinc roof and metal roofing. To note specific product detailing and installation recommendations mentioned above will vary for each sperate zinc manufacturer. In order to keep the integrity of the roof it is recommended to install vmzinc breather membrane on the cold side of the insulation and a vapour control layer adapted to the internal humidity load of the building on the warm side of the insulation.

Products typically used are warmfast and thermoseam and the setting out of the fixed sliding clips is to specific manufacture guidelines. Installation the substrate of the metdeck composite panels on the warm side of the roof panel must be covered with a continuous aluminium foil backed bituminous self sealing vapour barrier to.
