HEAVYWEIGHT ROOF

BENEFITS

STRUCTURAL COST SAVINGS

All Gerard roofs classified asLightweight Roofs as per NZS36041999 Timber FramedBuildings

Savings range from $100 toover $1000 per housedepending on a range offactors including the nature of

the design and condition of thesite

DESIGN FLEXIBILITY

Ability to incorporate featuressuch as steep pitches,exposed beams and integratedglass features without incurring

additional and unnecessarystructural costs

RE-ROOFS OLD STRUCTURESSAFELY

Euro 1.0 = NZD 1.829

Fewer trusses and rafters

Smaller lintels

Less bracing

Material and labour savings


18/45

HORIZONTAL FASTENING & INTERLOCKING STEEL MEMBRANE

Superior wind resistance

Allows specification in very high windzones

Added strength in the event of anearthquake

GERARD ROOF

LONGRUN / CORRUGATED / RIB ROOF

CONCRETE / CLAY TILE ROOF

8 FASTERNERS PER TILE

8 fasteners per tile

Horizontal fasteners must shearto fail

Fastener perpendicular to winduplift

370mm batten spacings provideextra resistance

Concrete tiles mostly rely ontheir weight to hold them down

Fastener parallel to wind uplift

Vertical fasteners can simplypull out

Wind uplift is the primarycause of roof failure


19/45

BUILDING PAPER UNDERLAY

All Gerard Roofs are installed withbuilding paper underlay that acts asa second line of defence

Cost to install building paper isapproximately $2.75/m2 = $550 for a200m2roof

Euro 1.0 = NZD 1.829

ALL ROOFS NEED BUILDING PAPER UNDERLAY

BRANZ WATER PENETRATION

TEST

BRANZ Report 70 measures the

water penetration in the joints and

construction cavities of roofs with

and without underlay. The table is

from page 4 of that report

Building paper acts as anexcellent second line of defenceagainst water, dust, sand etc.

Passed the World HealthOrganisations criteria for drinking

water quality

Recommend a chemical clean everythree to five years

Keeps roof looking good andprevents the growth of algae, mossand lichen

Care is needed where Zincalumesteel products are in contact withother metal types or where waterruns off one metal type onto another

EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE

BENEFITS

Additional strength for the housestructure

Safety, security and peace of mindfor clients in the event of anearthquake

WEIGHT DOES NOT MEAN STRENGTH

LIGHTWEIGHT & STRONG INTERLOCKING STEEL MEMBRANE

There are over 200 earthquakesin New Zealand per year

Photos taken after a large earthquake hit Northridge,

California in 1994. The picture of the heavyweight roof (top)

and lightweight Gerard steel tile roof (above) was taken in

the same street

The interlocking

tiles and horizontal

fixing has assisted

in supporting this

Gerard Roof even

though the internal

walls have been

demolished by a

landslide

GERARD ROOFS WONT CRACK

During the 1999 Sydney hailstorm many concrete, slate and clay

tiles experienced damage similar to the house on the right

whereas the Gerard roof on the left retained its weather security

protecting the home and its contents

GERARD ROOFS HAIL TESTAUSTRALIAN CSIRO METHOD

Results: 35mm diameter hailstones might crush thetexture coating but they would not cause dents orperforate the steel

Although not visible from the ground,

walking damage on concrete tiles can have

leaks go unnoticed for many years


25/45

FROST, SNOW, ICE AND FIRE RESISTANCE

FROST, SNOW AND ICE RESISTANCE FIRE RESISTANCE

Withstands snow loadings

Not affected or damaged by frost, snow, ice

Textured finish ensures slow, safe thaw

Interlocking provides added strength

Gerard Roofs are lightweight and fire resistant

Buildings can be completely destroyed by a heavy roofcollapsing

SNOW AND COLD CLIMATE PERFORMANCE

TEXUTRED ROOFS HAVE:

Ability to hold snow in place andallow slow safe thaw

Wont crack in cold temperatures

Superior performance againstleakage from wind driven snow

Strong roofs that support snowweight. Leaving the snow on theroof providing added insulation
