How easily can mechanically fastened systems be applied to concrete on a flat roof? What is the procedure?

What is the procedure?

  • The supplier of the fasteners conducts a pull-out test to determine the pull-out resistance of the concrete structure.
  • IKO performs a wind load calculation to determine the required amount of fixation per square meter.
  • Fasteners must be installed at the insulation and waterproofing levels according to the placement pattern to provide the required wind stability for the system.

This system offers several advantages:

  • Can be applied during suboptimal weather conditions.
  • Full control over wind resistance, unlike adhered systems.
  • Removable at the end of its lifespan.

For renovation projects:

  • Provides an opportunity to ensure that the current roofing system achieves the necessary wind stability. This ensures both the old and new roof are wind-stable.
