Thermally Broken Technical
Pitch
The standard roof system can cater from a pitch of 5° through to 35°, and a greater pitch can be obtained with a bespoke wall bracket. By incorporating heavy duty glazing bars up to a maximum of 5000mm maximum projection can be accommodated with double-glazed toughened glass units - even greater with polycarbonate. Larger projections can be achieved, contact our technical department for details.
Structural ring beam
A structural ring beam can create clear, unsupported span width openings of up to 6000mm, so you can accommodate folding sliding doors or sliding doors around the whole perimeter if required when combined with corner posts, with the weight of the roof above fully supported.
Ventilation
Hot air rises, so with the addition of a roof vent(s), which can either be manually operated or thermostatically controlled with a rain sensor, you can be in complete control of the climate inside. The winding gear can be disengaged to enable access for cleaning etc. Increased ventilation and airflow can be generated with the option of a breathable back wall plate, which doubles as a night vent.
Weather seals
The IDS70 thermally broken roof system utilises both EPDM glazing gaskets and dual hardness gaskets for high performance, tested to CP3 Chapter V Part 2 for wind loadings (up to 100mph).
Operating system
The roof system has been tested to BS6399:Part three and is able to withstand the dead load of several inches of snow, or take the load of maintenance boards to carry out work above the roof.
Appearance
The standard finish is polyester powder coated White, other RAL colours (over 201 colours available), Silver anodised or wood grain effect is available for an additional charge.
Complete system
IDSystems roof systems have been specially designed to complement our folding sliding doors and sliding door systems.
Glazing
The system can accommodate glazing of up to a sealed unit of 28mm. Our standard 24mm unit comprises of 4mm clear toughened glass with low 'e' to the inner pane x 16mm argon gas cavity x 4mm clear toughened glass providing an enhanced thermal efficiency with a centre pane u-Value of 1.0W/m2K to comply with building regulations for safety and thermal efficiency. All sealed units are BS kite marked, manufactured to BS6206A and BS5713 standards. Polycarbonate sheeting, clear or tinted of 16mm or a full 25mm with a centre pane u-Value of 1.5W/m2K can alternatively be requested. Self or easy clean coating options also available.
Installation
All roof systems are pre-assembled in the factory to ensure everything runs smoothly and efficiently, at the time of installation. It should be noted that IDSystems does not undertake any site preparation, electrical or building works. Lead work and guttering can be quoted as an optional extra.
