​S-5! WindClamps: The Most Cost-Effective Way to Increase Standing Seam Metal Roof Wind Performance

High-wind events can pose problems to metal roofs, causing seams to unwind or separate and even roof panels to blow off the roof. Design wind speeds and code requisites are constantly upgraded over the years – affecting allowable roof loads for uplift. Reinforcing existing construction is not always practical, and the increased costs of new builds can force metal roofing to be perceived as unaffordable. There are cost-effective solutions available. Wind uplift resistance of a metal roof can be significantly upgraded with the use of external seam clamps. WindClamps™ are a far less disruptive measure, can be easily retrofitted to existing roof construction and are less costly than roof replacement.

This course is geared toward metal roofing manufacturers, architects, specifiers and metal roofing contractors to help them better understand how a simple investment in a wind clamp can dramatically increase the strength of standing seams metal roofs (SSMR) for both existing construction and new construction. We will look at test data of SSMRs with and without wind clamps, illustrate the cost savings, and show how to utilize industry resources to maximize the metal roofing value add.
