Fastening Down The Lid On GCHQ With SFS
In Britain's largest PFI project to date, irius fasteners from SFS intec were chosen throughout for the roof construction of the new Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) in Cheltenham.
Use of these uniquely designed drivers ensure perpendicular fastening to the correct depth at 15 fasteners per minute across a whole day's work.
This ensures the same high quality pull out resistance right across the roof, no matter how large an area.
The drivers also minimise back and repetitive strain injuries by reducing bending, aiding finish quality and on-roof safety".
The 19-strong range of flanged polyamide tube types are divided into the Standard and Plus ranges (Plus includes a thinner diameter stem and reinforced penetration point).
Both ranges are able to accommodate normal and high wind-loading, varying types of single ply membrane structures, and insulation only fixing for adhered membranes.
"The new ISO-TAK range has been very well received in projects in Sweden" Continues Martyn.
"The development process has included input from major membrane manufacturers; a free wind load testing service can also be provided." The new ISO-TAK range is ideal for specification as a high quality, 25-year warranted branded system to ensure maximum performance from single ply roofing design.
The range covers metal, concrete and timber decks, as well as foam and mineral wool insulation, in thicknesses from 75mm to 300mm; even greater depths are available to special order.
SFS renowned range of austenitic stainless steel fasteners feature drill points to ensure maximum and consistent resistance to pull-out and unwinding over the life of the roof.
This contrasts with the traditional short-term performance of pierce point fasteners which in punching and tearing the deck often unwind due to cyclical wind loadings.
