Roof System

Desen Roofing System Advantages

•No fasteners penetration ensures superior weather tightness performance

•Advanced concealed clip system provides excellent uplift resistance

•Available in tapered and curved sheets to fulfill the most challenging design criteria

•Can be roll-formed on site to avoid end overlapping

•Available in a range of cover widths in ferrous and non ferrous material

•Original clips design minimize the need for roofing thermal expansion joints

•Specially engineered thermal pad of the clip can reduce thermal bridging effects

SYSTEM FEATURES:

Desen Roofing System is a structural architectural roofing panel that is mechanically field seamed for water tightness and resistance to wind uplift

Concealed fix thus providing a continuous weather tight roof ;

Available in tapered and curved sheets with a minimum radius of 3m to fulfill the most challenging design criteria ;

Available in a range of cover widths in ferrous and non ferrous material ;

The minimum roof pitch is 1° ;

The original clip has an inbuilt thermal bridge and allows movement resulting from thermal expansion ;

Various roof designs achieve heat insulation and acoustic performance;

Can be roll-formed on site to achieve extreme long length according to project requirement

SPECIFICATION

•Desen Clips are extruded from structural grade aluminium. The shape of the dip has been carefully designedto maximize strength, in both upward (wind uplift) and downward (snow, wind, dead load) conditions.

•The head of the dip accurately matches the desen sheeting, to ensure the sheets slide freely during thermal movement.

•Desen clip is made from:Aluminium Alloy 6005A to AS/NZS 1866 or Aluminium Alloy 6063-T5

H = height of clip without thermal pad

Cl = Cavity without thermal pad

(between Desen panel and bottom edge of dip)

C2 = Cavity with thermal pad

(between Desen panel and bottom edge of thermal pad)

Thermal Pad

Specially engineered thermal pad slides neatly onto the base of the dip reducing thermal bridging effects.

Installation

Orientation of Clips

Where possible, the direction of installation should be toward the prevailing weather conditions. This ensures the overlap locates on the leeward side.

The orientation of the Desen clip shall be in accordance with adjacent diagram i.e. the notch side of head faces in the direction of laying.

Correct orientation of the dip ensures the sheets will expand and contract smoothly during temperature changes.

Lateral Spacing of Clips

Lateral spacing of clips depends upon the Desen profile being used. For best results, clips should be spaced with a cover

width plus 3.0mm. For example, Desen 400 the lateral clip spacing is ideal at 403mm. For curved roofs, increase the spacing to 3-5mm depending on the radius of the Desen panel.

Longitudinal Spacing of Clips

Longitudinal spacing of clips (or Cladding Span) is determined by considering wind uplift, downward loads (wind and snow) and walk-on capacity.

The highest of the three will determine allowable dip spacing.

Careful consideration should be given to areas of a structure which experience high localized loads (e.g. ridge and eaves). It is common practice to reduce spacing of dips in these areas. To ensure adequate thermal movement of the system is maintained, longitudinal spacing of clips must be carefully aligned during installation.

Installation Process：

Step one: Fixing clips.  Desen roofing is anchored onto the purlins with heat insulated concealed dips. Pay attention to the correct direction;

Step two: Fixing male and female ribs on the dips: place the female rib overlapping the male rib of the previous sheet;

Step three: Lock up the ribs by machine on site.
