Insulating and protecting your roofs with standing seam roofs

Standing seam metal roofing is a covered fastener roofing system that features vertical legs and a flat surface in between. This type of metal roofing is one of the sturdiest and weather-tight roof systems available within the industry. The concealed design ensures that the fasteners are not exposed to those elements that could fail over time. Standing seam roof in West Africa is fastened to the deck of the roof with clamps. As a result, there are no holes that could allow moisture to seep through. 

The importance of a roof?

The roof is a crucial part of any construction that requires solid protection. This structure is exposed to various climatic and environmental conditions. Therefore, it requires double protection that standing seam roof panels can offer. The Western part of Africa is very hot and humid. Hence, roofs should be adequately insulated to keep your cooling systems functioning by consuming the least electricity.

The versatility of metal standing seam roof panels in East Africa

Historically standing seam corrugated or metal roofs were used in agricultural and commercial buildings. However, it has been a few years that metal roofs have gained popularity for homes. Standing seams are very common these days in the eastern part of Africa. Aluminum and galvanized steel are the two types of materials used for roofing. The metals are coated for color preservation and extra protection. Standing seam roof in East Africa is an architecturally superior and versatile roofing system that has weatherproofing qualities. 

Standing seam roof in East Africa is a hidden metal fixed roof system that features vertical ribs with a pan or a flat space in the middle. The edges on the side of a roof panel are seamed along the length of the connecting roof panels. Metal roofs are durable, have adequate insulation and have weatherproofing qualities. 

Insulation properties of the standing seam panels

The roof is a very important part of the construction, and it requires adequate protection for maintenance. A roof is exposed to all the weather extremities. Therefore, it requires double protection that standing seam roof panels can offer. Eastern Africa has a tropical climate, the days are extremely hot. The air cooler keeps on running the whole day, and it has to perform under pressure for the whole day. The result is huge energy bills which can reduce the performance of the cooling system. An insulated roof can help in reducing your energy bills by aiding in faster cooling.

Customized standing seam roofs 

A standing seam roof in East Africa consists of a core, two face sheets on both sides. These roof panels are made from superior quality sandwich panels. The panels offer insulation, weather resistance, robustness and cost-effectiveness. The standing seam panels are tapered and curved, but you can customize them based on your requirements.

Long-lasting metal panels 

Metal roofs are expensive compared to asphalt shingles, and the former is long-lasting. Metal roofs can last for almost 40-47 years, which is a very long time. At the same time, traditional asphalt roofing materials have an estimated life of an average of 20 years. 

 The types of metal roof panels 

TSSC is one of the renowned insulated panel manufacturers in East Africa that offers snap-lock panels and field-seamed panels. These snap lock panels are fixed to the deck of the roof with the help of clips. This facilitates thermal movement to the metal panels.

Why should you choose prefabricated construction rather than traditional methods?

The general thumb rule is that prefabricated construction is affordable compared to traditional building procedures. The labor cost is pretty low, and you do not have to hire plumbers, carpenters, electricians, etc. When a building takes the least time to be built, it saves a lot of money. Traditional construction methods always existed, but the popularity of prefab building is now increasing in the Middle East.

 The construction market is witnessing sunny days in the Middle East. It would even expand more in recent years, and traditional construction is taking a back seat. The whole setup is completed inside the factory and assembled on site. 

Prefabricated solutions are eco-friendly

The prefab methods are secure; there is no worrying about extremities and complications. The whole process is streamlined and handled inside a controlled environment. In this method of construction, very little waste material is produced. These construction methods are eco-friendly, less harmful to the environment. It does not interfere with nature, so this method reduces air, water and noise pollution. 

Choose prefab if your project is redundant

Projects having a higher degree of redundancy should choose prefab construction. Those buildings having similar rooms have higher complexities. Some examples are hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, hostels, malls and more. The construction industry has a shortage of talented contractors and masons. So, a smaller crew of prefab professionals is good. These sites are considered safer to work at than any other. 

Do you know what panelization is? 

This is a form of prefab, but it needs a little work on the site. Panelization involves floors, walls, and roofs constructed in the factory before being transported to the site. Those are attached to the already-existing structure on-site. Electricals, plumbing, and other infrastructure are installed later on.

Insulate your cold storage unit to save energy – TSSC designs efficient solutions

Industrial refrigeration is about implementing a cooling force of process coolers. Cold storages, the food processing industry, medicine industry, and other sectors depend on commercial refrigeration. Why is refrigeration so important? When perishable goods are stored at a very low temperature, it ensures there is no spoilage. Many perishable objects are stored inside warehouses and cold storage to ensure there is no shortage of supply according to the demands. Refrigeration aims to slow down the process of bacteria formation so that the time taken to spoil the food or any other perishable items gets delayed. 

Install cold store panels to save more on your energy bills

The Middle East or UAE is now a business hub with so many industries thriving. This area experiences extreme weather conditions where days are very hot and nights are comparatively cooler.

Insulation is the biggest benefit of sandwich panels – these panels are used across all commercial sectors

With the change in the construction technologies, there has been a shift in constructing walls and roofs. One of the most popular and cost-effective construction materials is sandwich panels. These panels consist of polyurethane filling materials between two sheets. These are primarily popular for the construction of garage walls, roofs, house roofs, etc., being energy efficient, highly durable and fire resistant. They can be easily installed and take very less time in the installation process. There has been an increasing demand for sandwich panels in the East Africa construction industry. 

Why invest in sandwich panels?

There are more than one benefits of installing sandwich panels in your construction. Here, we have listed some of the top benefits of installing these panels that make investing in these worth it.

      1. Insulation One of the top benefits of sandwich panels is their insulation property. The mineral wool present in these panels works in favour of excellent thermal protection. Installing sandwich panels can ensure better temperature regulation inside the compartments. You can also get extra insulating properties if these panels are painted using specialised paints, which reflect more heat from the UV rays of the sun. Due to the insulation benefits, sandwich panels for cold storage in East Africa are becoming popular.

 

      1. Easy installationIt is easy and cost effective to install sandwich panels. Also, these panels have almost zero maintenance cost. What more? You also get a perfectly finished installation ensuring complete leak-proof fitting. 

 

      1. Cost effective Sandwich panels are cost effective as their cores are made with materials that are reasonable. As we already stated above that you require investing almost zero cost for its maintenance. From this perspective it is worth it to invest in sandwich panels. 

 

      1. Construction process The installation process of sandwich panels are far less complicated. They can be installed quickly and, most importantly, in a cost-effective manner. Therefore, the sandwich panel manufacturers are gaining constant popularity in 2021.

 

      1. Non- combustible performance Sandwich panels are also beneficial from the perspective of slowing down the spread of fire within the building, hence ensuring the safety of life and properties. However, while choosing these panels few factors should be taken care of like their ability of fire resistance and duration, the height of the building and the type of core. The panels consist of Mineral Wool or FM-approved PIR-cores.  

 

The increasing demand for cold store panels 

The weather condition in Africa is extreme which mostly remains harsh, which makes sandwich panels so popular. Sandwich panels used in roofs & wall constructions especially for cold storages. TSSC insulated cold store panels in East Africa are affordable and designed implementing updated technology. Most of the cold storages in the eastern Africa have installed our sandwich panels.
