[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.
