Highest Roof Value Through Highest Wind Load Applications
The Zeus Shield system is specified to the highest wind load seaming requirements (ZONE III) for the whole roof area. This allows the total roof area to be completed with the same seaming method for maximum uplift performance. It's not necessary to change purlin spacing, panel thickness or to install clips over the seam, thereby saving you costs on both materials and installation time.
- Zone I: LOWEST LOAD - main field of the roof (about 80% of total roof surface)
- Zone II: INERMEDIATE LOAD - area around the perimeter of the roof (about 15% of total roof surface)
- Zone III: HIGHTEST LOAD - at each corner of the roof (about 5% of the total roof surface)
Other systems handle different wind load zones by either:
- Reduced purlin spacing at higher zone roof area
- Thicker panel material
- Reduced widths in the panels
- Exterior clamps over the panel seams
Our roof system efficiently utilizes two seaming shapes to accommodate all three roof zones. The shapes are formed in the field after the roof panels have been installed, meeting precise roof wind loading requirements for each roof zone without added materials or altering panel/purlin placement.
