Patio, Deck and Balcony Roof Specifications
|
Where the Insulated Aluminium
Roof is installed under a home roof, an eaves-trough
must be installed on the house to avoid significant
amounts of water being dumped on roof from the house.
The Balcony, Patio and Deck Roof Kit includes a track and a roof receiver extrusion, (.075" wall thickness), to accept the roof panels, which is installed on the home. The roof is made of 1 pound expanded polystyrene vacuum pressed to .024" stucco embossed aluminium skin on both sides. The aluminium has a baked, powder coated white paint finish. The thickness of the insulated roof varies from 3"-6" depending on the length of the roof projection and the customer's needs. The greater the thickness of the roof, the greater strength and the higher the insulation value. The roof panels are 4' wide and are joined by an (.075" wall thickness on the 3" and 4" thick roof and .08" wall thickness on the 6" thick roof panels) extrusion which forms an "I" beam joint for the roof panels for greater strength. A "U" shaped extrusion is placed under the roof on the opposite side to where the roof is attached to the home or trailer. This extrusion provides additional structural support for the roof and a location to which to connect the top of the 3" square flutted aluminium posts. Posts are provided every 8 feet. The Kit comes with a gutter for the front and fascia for the sides, (all with wall thickness of .075"). Optional color aluminum trim strips can be purchased to dress up the fascia and gutter. These strips slide into a slot in the fascia and gutter. All parts in the kit are made of rust resistant aluminium. |
