Improper use of lightweight steel roof
Currently lightweight steel roof truss into building materials that are very trend used in Indonesia. This is because increasingly scarce and expensive wood good for use as a roof frame of a building. In addition, the roof frame are made of mild steel has many advantages in terms of durability, termite resistant and rust, as well as having the power structure is better, stronger and more rigid than wood construction.
But unfortunately, a very encouraging development is not accompanied by good mounting system. Here's a common mistake in the use of lightweight steel roof:
1. Errors often occur at the seat frame. If the holder skewed, so consequently is the compressive strength of the steel to be less balanced. Eventually it affects the construction. The effect is the roof could collapse or fall
2. Mechanical installation of lightweight steel roof is a unified system though composed of several elements. So there are no parts that can stand alone. Therefore, before being installed should be made taking into account the working drawings and load strength and the quality of the steel itself. And no less important to be installed by someone who really are experts.
3. A lightweight steel roof installer should always have a special certificate. Usually these people are able to make the calculation system uses three-dimensional then makes roof mounted as one whole. Because if there is one part that is not installed properly consequently other structural systems become weaker
4. Many people are more interested in choosing materials that are cheaper but never take into account the quality. It is also a fatal error.
5. Another thing that is often overlooked is the load that is too heavy and overdone. People often forget when the roof construction also have to bear heavy loads and some elements that are in the room. Such as chandeliers or anything that weighs quite heavy and rely on the strength of the roof frame. Do not look at this issue as trivial as a result also makes the roof collapse if not withstand such loads.
6. It must be realized anyway, the area is in the mountains and the beach has a considerable influence on the life of the use of lightweight steel roof. Because it is related to the level of corrosion that arises because the effect of the salty sea water. If the lightweight steel roof in the mountains of the user can reach the age of about twenty years, but for the maritime area is only about ten years. So there must be a previous preparation
7. When the rainy season comes, not a strange thing again if there are some parts of the roof leaking. If this is the case must be dealt with as soon as possible. For though it was coated with anti-rust, but if continually exposed to water spray then could be damaged or corroded steel.
Never forget that if the roof is in the top position. If the material used quality is not guaranteed, not only the risk of damaged and not durable which will arise but also the safety of people in the house could be at stake. So a little breakdown of some mistakes that often occur in the use of lightweight steel roof. Hopefully this article useful to you.
