SFS offers a wind load calculation service that provides guidance on fastener spacings and the numbers required for the project being installed. This is typically for the mechanical connection of insulations (flat or tapered) and or single ply membranes to various deck substrates.

Whatโ€™s included in SFS wind load calculations?

SFS delivers a clear, project-specific report that includes:

  • Fastener types and combinations for the materials being fixed
  • Guidance on fixing layout and spacing
  • Estimated fastener numbers
  • Fixing pattern relevant to the roof plan

Calculations are predominantly EN standard though FM (Factory Mutual) calculations can be requested also.
