The entire guardrail components are supplied with a Galvanised finish carried out to BS EN ISO 1461: 1999 Hot Dip Galvanised Coatings Specification and Testing Methods, giving an average coating of between 65-85 microns. All of the locking screws are stainless-steel and are greased before fixing. The system is therefore maintenance free.
The system has been specially designed to fit all shapes and sizes of flat roofs, even circular designs. The system can also cope with changes in levels, roof falls and difficult details, such as ductwork passing over the roof edge and cable trays/plant mounted at the roof edge. The counter weight & Safeclamp design allows the system to be used on plant congested roofs and this flexibility makes even the most difficult details possible.
The system is installed with fluted rubber matting bonded to the underside of all components in contact with the roof membrane. This protects the roof membrane from damage via heat transfer or direct contact with components. On warm deck roof construction specifications pedestrian tiles are recommended to be placed where base feet and counter weights are in contact with the roof membrane.
In addition, the fluted rubber adds to the frictional resistance of the system to prevent any movement.
System 2000 has been fully assessed externally & awarded British Board of Agreement Approval in September 1995. This independent certification is your guarantee that the system is designed, manufactured & installed to its full specification and tested correctly.
Testing was carried out by The British Standards Institute and the National Engineering Laboratory to the Health & Safety Executive Document SIR/15 :1987, MOAT No 43 1987. System 2000 is wind calculated to BS 6399: Part 2 1997 Code of Practice for Wind Load. To ensure the system was tested in the most unfavorable conditions we included the Building Regulations interpretation of a flat roof design being up to 10 degree pitch and added a 25% safety factor.
