SFS publishes new Isoweld®brochure
SFS Group Fastening Technologyhas introduced anew brochure covering its successfulIsoweld®field fixing system, highlighting such benefits as speed of installation and reduced density of fixings, as well as explaining the principles involved in securing single ply membranes, along with the technical back up available.
The eight-page publication, encompassing explanatory photography and technical drawings, conveys how employing the Isoweld®system, as the strapline quotes, "increasesefficiency, ensures security, saves on cost." Basically, it uses induction technology to weld single ply membrane to dedicated stress plates to secure it across the roof deck employing the Isoweld®3000 machine. Impressively, the welding process takes just three seconds for each plate and requires around 50%fewer fixings for thermal insulation in comparison with traditional seam fix applications.
As well as avoiding penetrating the tough membranes, opting for the advanced induction welding means fewer overlaps while Isoweld®is particularly strong at resisting wind uplift around the perimeter of roofs, and further facilitates choice of direction across the roofscape. The brochure explains how SFS can offer support at every phase of a project with the highest level of application expertise and commitment. Technical and logistical support ranges from the provision of specification advice to the training of site operatives and site inspections or help with project specific details where required. The company can additionally arrange equipment rental.
In addition to applications with uniform insulation thicknesses, the SFS Isoweld®systems is also fully suitable for use on projects featuring tapered insulation arrangements: where examples in the publication include using the system on profiled steel decks, or on in-situ and precast concrete decks.
Providing further confidence for specifiers, the brochure states SFS Isoweld®system and products are FM approved (Identification: 3052878) and the products are also assessed and covered by European Technical Assessment ETA 08/0262. Reassuring testimonials are related in this very accessible publication on a method which has been successfully employed for securing over 20 million square metres of single play membrane worldwide.
