1.0 Technical Description of Roof System Trimoterm SNV

1.1 General
Trimoterm SNV roof panels in a standard module width of 1000 mm represent basic Trimo roof system. They are xed on roof purlins that are placed over the roof slope at specied spans. The SNV roof system offers excellent technical properties, a long life span and allows creative design freedom. The assembly system using Trimoterm re-proof panels excels in high re-resistance, excellent thermal and sound insulation. The range of application of SNV roofs is extremely wide. They are suitable for business, commercial, production buildings, as well as those constructed for representative purposes. Trimoterm SNV panels can be also used as faades.

Panel Composition
Trimoterm SNV reproof panels consist of a completely galvanised shallow and deep-proled, colour coated steel sheet of 0.5 mm and 0.6 mm thicknesses. The steel sheet is bonded to the panel core which is of incombustible lamellated class A1 mineral wool (EN 13501-1). All three layers make a solid panel with a thickness ranging between 60 - 200 mm depending on the required load-bearing capacity, tightness and assembly requirements. A protective polyethylene foil is applied to the panel surface to protect it during handling, transport and assembly. The foil is removed after the assembly has been completed. Panels can be up to 14 m long.

2.0 Design Procedure

2.1 Panel Thickness Selection
With respect to the clients or project requirements or in accordance with the legislation appropriate thickness of Trimoterm SNV roof panel shall be selected. Thickness has a direct inuence on the load-bearing capacity of the panel, thermal insulation of the roof and heat stability of the structure.

2.2 Structural Design Data

Allowed distances between supports are determined in relation to the selected panel thickness, loads and support widths. Exact Structural calculation is available by Trimo Technical service.

2.3 Fixing Method

Structural engineer will determine the required number of screws in accordance with the standards and regulations of an individual country. A detailed calculation prepared by Trimos technical department is recommended for each individual building. The principle of screw arrangement relating to the calculated number is shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 2: Fixing arrangement

1 screw per panel in each purlin 2 screws per panel in each purlin

3 screws per panel in each purlin

4 screws per panel in each purlin

The main factors inuencing the xing calculation are: - Wind load: - basic wind load, - height of building above the ground, - area on the roof (edge and corner areas are more exposed to wind suction). - Building type: - Open, partly open, closed buildings. Various loads appear on the roof in relation to the factors mentioned and the xing method should be adjusted to accommodate them. Fig. 3 shows the characteristic xing points. Tables for the calculation of xing are given in the Appendix to the catalogue.

2.4 Snow Guards

2.4.1 General
Installation of snow guards is recommended for all buildings where sliding of snow may present a danger to people and property. Legislation in various countries prescribes obligatory installation of snow guards on buildings with roofs where the inclination is greater than 22 (e.g. Slovenia), but the experience shows that they are actually needed also on low pitch roofs. Snow guards of type 330 are placed in a line are used for Trimoterm SNV roof panels. They are made of galvanised and colour coated steel sheet.

2.4.2 Snow Guards Arrangement and Fixing

As a priority, snow guards arranged in a line are xed using screws that are intended for xing panels on purlins. The xing method and the basic principle of arrangement are presented in Fig. 4 and 5. The number of snow guards Ns required and the corresponding number of screws nv required for xing per panel width are shown in Table 3.

2.5 Lightning Rods

From experience and expert opinion, it has been established that steel sheet roong does not attract lightning strikes any more than any other roong types. Despite this fact, standard lightning protection installation is feasible. Trimos technical department can provide any other detailed information. Section 3.5.6 presents two details of the installation of a lightning rod.

3.0 Assembly Instructions

3.1 Installation Recommendations
Trimoterm SNV roof panels can be xed into roof load-bearing steel, wood or concrete purlins with an intagrated steel prole of minimal dimensions 60/40/3 (Fig. 6). For xing into wood, lamelated beams are commonly used. Where the substructure is made of solid wood, additional steel sheet is required.
Fig. 6: Sub-structure types for fixing Trimoterm SNV panels

Min. roof slope is =3 (~5%). Maximum spans should be taken into account (Fig. 7); it is determined in Trimos Technical Documentation spans for Trimoterm SNV roof panels. The measures required due to the inclination are presented in Section 3.2.1.
Fig. 7: Span and inclination of the roof slope

Min. intermediate support width is 60 mm, and at the end support is 40 mm which is determined according to static calculation (Fig. 8).

No.35/V-4/10-2010

Before the rst panel is placed the substructure geometry should be checked. The rst panel is placed in the end crosswise axis of the building by suitable levelling in the eaves rectangular on the longitudinal axis of the building. A dripping edge of at least 80 mm should be made on panels in the eaves to prevent moistening mineral wool in the panel (Fig. 9). A dripping edge for longer panels is usually made by Trimo. Cleanliness of these edges is to be checked on-site; if required the rests of wool and adhesive are to be removed. The dripping edge may be on the left or on the right side (Fig. 10). In case of a saddle roof this enables simultaneous assembly on both roof slopes from the same direction (Fig. 11). Regardless of the roof inclination it is necessary to additionally bend the steel sheet of panels between trapezoids in the eaves at an angle of 45 - 60 downwards (Fig. 12) using a suitable plumbing tool.

Trimoterm SNV panels have a protective foil applied on the top and bottom sides to protect its colour coated surfaces against any possible damage during transport, handling and assembly. The foil is removed from the bottom side before the assembly of an individual panel. From the top side it is removed before the work has been completed. If necessary, it can be removed from some places already during the assembly (e.g. on the longitudinal joint of two panels, under screws, ashing, etc. - Fig. 13). If panels are stored for a longer period of time, the foil should be removed at the latest after the expiry of three months. If panels are stored in the open air, they should be protected against the sun; otherwise removing of the foil may be difcult.

No.35/V-4/10-2010

Fig. 13: Removal of a protective foil

When panels are cut during the assembly, only scissors and saws that do not heat the cutting edge to a high temperature (Fig. 14) may be used. High temperature can destroy the anticorrosive protection in the immediate vicinity of a cut. Therefore use of grinding machines is prohibited for such purposes! All small metal parts that appear as a consequence of cutting and drilling are to be removed immediately from the surface of panels, or at the latest when the daily work has been completed.
Fig. 14 Recommended tools for panel cutting

Marking or scratching with nails or similar sharp objects that can damage the protective colour coated layer is prohibited. Before panel assembly it should be checked that the end trapezoid that overlaps the trapezoid of the neighbouring panel is completely clean (Fig. 15). If it is not, it must to be cleaned! Care should be taken to ensure that the sealing tape already installed does not get damaged.
Fig. 15: Checking of trapezoidal panel section

Mineral wool is protected by a self-adhesive tape which is placed on the longitudinal sides of the panel (Fig. 16). The tape does not need to be removed before the assembly.

3.2 Sealing
3.2.1 Sealing the Longitudinal Joint Between Panels
During assembly special attention should be paid to ensure the tight fitting of panels. There should be no space in the longitudinal joint between the neighbouring panels (Fig. 17).
Fig. 17: Tight fitting of panels

If butyl or silicone mastic seal is to be placed into the longitudinal joint, it should be applied in a way presented in Fig. 18 and 19. Mastic seal is placed in an individual joint before the assembly of the following panel.

3.2.3 Water Vapour Diffusion

Panel surface of Trimoterm SNV is vapour proof, joint allows for partial transference of water vapour in non benecial climatic conditions that can cause condensation within the joint which can ultimatly lead to wetting of the core material and even water dripping into the building. A diagram has been prepared in accordance with DIN 4108, measurements taken and practical experience. The diagram distinguishes between three areas regarding interior climate conditions in buildings and it is based on an assumption of a normal, typically ventilated premises. It can be applied in Slovenia, Germany and in other countries with similar climate conditions. The same applies to roofs made of Trimoterm SNV panels as well as to faades made of Trimoterm FTV and Trimoterm SNV.

No.35/V-4/10-2010

In most cases the use of integrated gaskets on both sides of the Trimoterm SNV panels (Fig. 20) is required and necesary due to requirements interaction between airtightness, watertightness and water vapour diffusion - inside the trapezoid on cold side gasket K 9/3 and inside the joint on the warm side gasket 7x7 are implemented. In cold rooms both gaskets should be integrated into the joint of panels. For cold rooms a special regime is required, therefore according to climatic conditions a calculation of building physics must be done. It is neccessary to apply PUR mastic seal on the warm side inside the longitudinal joint of the panel in case of very demanding climate conditions in areas B and C. For detailed information please contact Trimo Technical support. In certain special cases, when gaskets do not have to be integrated on both sides of the panel, certain requrements should be met as shown in table 5. In other cases such implementation is forbidden!

3.3 Panel Fixing

Only screws made of stainless steel and washers with a diameter of 19 mm (also of stainless steel) and EPDM sealing tape may be used for xing the panels. Min. thickness of a screw is 6.3 mm for selftapping and 5.5 mm for selfdrilling xings. Panels are xed through the trapezoidal sections by means of mandatory use of saddle washers with seals (Fig. 26).
Fig. 26: Fixing method of Trimoterm SNV roof panels

Self-tapping screws of type A are used for xing to wooden and thin steel purlins (steel thickness up to 3 mm). If steel purlins are 3 mm thick or greater, self-tapping screws of type B should be used. The use of self-drilling screws of type C is also allowed for steel purlins. All screw types are presented in Fig. 27.
Fig. 27: Screw types Type A Type B Type C

A borehole of a suitable diameter should be drilled through a panel and purlin according to instructions of the xing manufacturer if panels are xed to a steel sub-structure with A or B type screws. Table 6 presents all required sizes of boreholes of producer SFS Stadler. No preliminary drilling of holes is allowed for type C xings.

Screw length depends on thickness of Trimoterm panels and sub-structure type in accordance with the instructions of the xing manufacturer. Care should be taken to tightening screws correctly to ensure they are not too tight or too loose. Correct xing method is presented in Fig. 28. The protective foil should be removed in places before xing (Fig. 29). The foil is nally removed after the works on the roof have been completed.

5.0 Maintenance
5.1 Annual Checking of a Roof
In accordance with best practice it is necessary to check a roof and the complete building at least once a year. The purpose of checking is to highlight and remove any potential problem and prolong the useful life of the roof. Annual checking includes: - Cleaning off all dirt collected near openings. - Checking screw tightness and slight manual tightening of screws. - Checking and cleaning of draining elements on the roof up to the place where discharges ow to sand catchers or shafts that have to be regularly cleaned of dirt. In addition to the roof, draining elements should be regularly controlled and cleaned up to the place where discharges ow to sand catchers or shafts that have to be regularly cleaned of dirt. Cleaning of panels can be carried out only by mild alkaline cleaning agents. Damage caused to the roof must be repaired immediately when it appears or it is observed. The area of damage should be repaired by a suitable coat and putty is placed over them, if necessary. It is recommended that large damaged places are repaired. All subsequent works are to be carried out by a Trimo approved contractor.

5.2 General recommendations

Walking on a roof is allowed only in soft shoes in the purlin line. Walking over lighting penetrations is prohibited. The use of any aggressive substances for roof cleaning is prohibited due to possibility of damage of anticorrosive colour coating. Use of a rotating grinding machine (cutting machine) in the vicinity of the Trimo roofing is prohibited since hot parts can damage the coating. If there are any questions relating to maintenance of a building or if repairs of defects or damage are needed, you are kindly asked to consult Trimo Service department.
