TRUSS LESS ROOF SYSTEM
◦ Truss less Roof is an architectural surprise acknowledged with exclusive names like
Arch roofing system, Curved Roofing System, Truss less roofing system and Self
Supported machine. It is used to make strong and durable structures. We provide
customized and general Truss less Roof, designed to in shape business and commercial
roofing wishes at self support system.
◦ In this present days, roofing is
done between the Steel
(Angular) Truss, Hollow Tube
Truss and Self-supporting
Roofing for different openings.
GEOMETRY
◦ Trussless Roofing System consists of profiled roofing sheets that are directly fixed to the
supporting structure at the sides and provide stability due to its geometry, i.e. curved
shape. The general requirement of the roof is strength and stiffness, lightness and
economy, easy in handling and erection and leak proof joints which are satisfied by the
shape and size of roofing element.
Self Supported Roofing
system is a revolutionary
system where roofing sheets
do not require intermediate
support like purlins or
trusses.
ECO-FRIENDLY:
◦ The trussless roof is environment-friendly, as well as cost-effective roofing solution. The
material of roofing sheets is recyclable. It is leak proof as the system is free from holes,
nuts and bolts.
◦ Trussless roofing system requires less maintenance.
◦ The life such as a roof is estimated nearly 40-50 years. This roofing sheet is used to resist
the heat and leading to cooler temperatures in the building.
◦ The panel assembling of the self supported roof is carried out on site. The self
supported roof has an incredible installation speed, which allows completion of the
project at very fast pace with great flexibility. Quicker installation of the trussless roof
can reduce the overall construction time & cost
DURABILITY AND STRENGTH
Trussless roofing is light yet very stiff and strong.
It had high tensile strength.
The aspect of being light implies that it is relatively easy to handle and erect.This is a point
as industries often opt for roofing that is long-lasting hence eliminating the need for
constant replacement.
It is an strong and resistant to corrosion and any industrial damage that can normally
emanate in the course of manufacturing.
Many buildings often settle for a roofing that will not required regular repairs and fittings
as it not damaged easily.
COST AND DESIGN :
Trussless roofing is affordable hence, it does not strain the pocket or dedicated budget. Cost is
often a major factor before the acquisition of any commodity especially with regard to roofing,
which is normally purchased in bulk and used in huge buildings and vast spaces. Any roofing that
is cheap whilst also being of premium quality is the best fit for any builder hence trussless roofing
remains unparalleled in this area.
Builders normally choose roofing that is unique and inline or in accordance with their own taste and
preference. Trussless roofs can be designed and customized in order to fit the desires of the buyer.
This is great in order to deviate from the norm where every entity, industry, or commercial building
has the same roofing.
NO WATERPROOFING REQUIRED:
Trussless Roof also known as Self Supported Roof, Arch Roof, Dome Roof, buildings do not
require any waterproofing. Arches are seamed together in a totally waterproof joint by the electric
seaming machine. No nuts, bolts, or screws are used in the erection of the arches.
USES :
◦ It offers protection to people, goods, machinery, hence it is best for :
◦ Warehouses.
◦ Malls.
◦ Industries.
◦ Parking Spaces.
◦ Sports Complexs.
◦ Pharmaceutical Companies.
◦ Modern Construction
Buildings etc.
ADVANTAGES OF ROOFING:
• Self supported arch roofing solutions is offered by iRoofing Enterprises.
• This innovative Roofing method have many advantages over the convection Roofing methods.
• Truss-less or ancillary support-less Arch Roofing solution helps in saving construction cost and time to
great extend.
• It gives clear work space and unobstructed movement.
• Structure span can range from 1 to 35 meters without any steel structure or intermediate columns.
• Corrugated Roofing panels are jointed using inter locking method , and hence they are free from holes ,
nuts , bolts etc.
• This ensures zero maintenance, longer life and leak proof structure.
• No bird nesting or other nuisance and hence provides cleaner and more hygienic buildings.
• The arch space of roofing structure and use of colour coated sheets will enhance the aesthetic appeal.
• Distinguishing arch shape and flexibility of colours result in strong aesthetic appeal.
• It is non-combustible and has higher tensile strength that gives it full protection against Fire, Earthquake
and Hurricane like natural calamities
DISADVANTAGES/CONS:
• Heavy point loads can’t be applied to it.
• Very skilled labours are required.
• Installation of trussless roof requires a large area for installation plant and hence difficult
where the site is located in crowded place.
• Several types of equipment & machinery used during installation are not available locally
NATURAL LIGHT:-
◦ For the Natural lighting, Proflex sheet Roof is fitted with 2mm Thick transparent Poly
Carbonate Sheets in the designed length and spacing. Fixing is done by cutting the
Proflex Sheet and fixing the Flat Polycarbonate sheets. This arrangement makes the
working area well lit during the daytime and helps saving electricity cost.
VENTILATION:-
◦ 65cm dia Turbo Ventilators that are self-rotating, provided at top of Proflex
Roof, which throws out the hot air and keeps the covered are fully ventilated.
These ventilators do not require electricity.
◦ The conceptual plan of platform shelter covering three tracks using self supported
profile sheets is shown in adjoining figure. The provision of turbo ventilator is made to
ensure proper ventilation inside and perplex sheets has been provided to utilize day light.
SYSTEMS OF SELF SUPPORTED ROOFING:
◦ Three prominent systems are prevalent as below.
◦ 1.PROFLEX ROOFING SYSTEM
◦ 2.KALZIP SYSTEM.
◦ 3.SAFLOK SYSTEM.
PROFLEX ROOFING SYSTEM:
◦ Proflex Roofing Solutions Technology uses high quality, high grade, pre-coated Galvalume
Steel as the basic raw material. The panel forming and installation is a complete on-site
process. The Mobile panel forming Units (roll-forming/panel fabrication equipment) along
with crane, seaming and other equipment's are transported to project sites with required
manpower, enabling panel forming & installation. The process allows high-speed operations,
thereby saving time.
◦ The installation can start from one
end of the building, and moving
along the length of the building, the
process shall be completed.
◦ The Panel formation is done as per
the required length and curvature at
the site itself.
◦ MECHANICAL SEALING:
◦ Seaming is like 'zipping up' of a rolled metal peals together using a Mechanical Seaming
machine.
◦ Three roofing panels are mechanically seamed (Interlocked) at site along with the light
fixtures and hangers.
◦ Panels are free from holes, nuts/bolts, overlaps and sealants which ensures almost zero
◦ maintenance.
FIXING OF SHEETS WITH MAIN STRUCTURE
◦ The Pre Curved Proflex Sheet, after launching is fixed at the supporting structure or eave
with self-splitting High Tensile Screws or Nuts & Bolts. In case of single span, side/End
Support with gutters for collection and disposal of rainwater is needed. In case of
multiple spans the center support with gutter is required. These supports with gutters
can be RCC or Steel.
KALZIP SYSTEM :
◦ Kalzip is precision engineered, multi component aluminum standing seam roofing and wall
cladding system with adequate durability, good performance and low maintenance. It
utilizes a range of Materials, finishes and shapes including curved and/or tapered, and any
pitch from 1.5° upwards.
◦ Depending on the
supporting structure and
individual application, the
roof configuration can be
adapted to suit the
requirements of the
building, such as design,
snow and wind loading, and
performance targets.
◦ 3 SAFLOK 700: SAFLOK 700 is an angular interlocking triple pan, 4-rib profile. It is a
concealed fix sheet profile designed for very low pitched roofs. It is an angular
interlocking standing seam trapezoidal rib pro le, and is usually roll formed on mobile
mills on the building site. Because clips under the sheet hold it down, the sheet is not
punctured with fasteners, and remains completely watertight even at a very low slope. T
◦ HANGING ARRANGEMENT FOR LIGHT AND FIXURES:
◦ Hanging arrangements for fixtures can be fixed during Mechanical Seaming of the
panels. These hanging arrangements are seamed in the pre-curved panels by seaming
Tool at the required Location. These hangers are used for hanging lights and other
fixtures with maximum point load upto 25 Kg each.
