S&G industrial Roofing Ltd installs 925m2 per day of SpeedDeck® top sheet installation.
SpeedDeck Building Systems Limited supplied S&G Industrial Roofing with its SpeedDeck® standing seam secret fix roofing system, which is designed to offer a fast and simple installation. With a roof area of 5,555m2, the SpeedDeck® roof profile was manufactured on-site at the eaves of the building within three days and installed a following six days later, demonstrating the speediness in SpeedDeck®.
Sean Partridge, Senior Director of S&G Industrial Roofing comments that if SpeedDeck was not available and a ‘Zip Up’ standing seam roof profile had been chosen instead: “A further three weeks of installation would have been required. Therefore plant would have had to remain onsite for longer, further increasing costs”.
When comparing the two different types of systems, Sean continues: “The benefits of the SpeedDeck® metal roofing system compared to ‘Zip Up’ standing seam systems are: less setting out; less perimeter components; less time actually installing the product; no time consuming zipping of the seams so once the sheet is landed it is just locked into position, whereas if being zipped you have to wait for the zipping machine to travel up and over the seam and then back, this in turn incurs downtime on labour and a slower installation.”
SpeedDeck® roof system is supplied in both aluminium and steel material with the additional benefit of on-site rolling. In addition, Sean mentioned the benefits he found from on-site rolling, commenting: “There were less transportation costs for materials on site, as this would have incurred approximately eight lorry loads of materials under police escort due to the length of material. If we have been hoisting materials from the floor – 51m long sheets - we would not have been able to crane lift the sheets due to adverse wind conditions, thus incurring us extra costs for crane hire and down time. This also bodes well for the architect’s BREEAM credits.”
SpeedDeck Building Systems Limited, supply three different types of ‘Zip Up’ and secret fix standing seam roof profiles, providing specifiers and customers real choice in roofing solutions. SpeedDeck is an alternative secret fix standing seam metal roofing system solution to the ‘Zip Up’ approach. With its double interlocking ribs and clips to ensure strength, watertight integrity and a fast installation process, it is definitely the reason why more and more customers are choosing SpeedDeck over other standing seam systems.
S&G Industrial Roofing was not only pleased with the overall outcome of SpeedDeck Building Systems but was also pleased with the excellent customer service; including the sales team that were of great help and support from the time of enquiry to the delivery of materials onsite, to the technical support team who aided with their in-depth knowledge of answering any queries.
Sean concluded: “We would recommend SpeedDeck® again to our customers, it is a very good system with an uncomplicated and quick installation and with the support of the SpeedDeck staff it makes for a smoother running project. We support SpeedDeck because it can offer us a full envelope solution including green roofing, structural decking and refurbishment solutions. Now we will actively promote utilising the systems in upcoming projects.”
Each standing seam profile offers different solutions to different roofing challenges. For example, SpeedDeck® offers an extremely fast and simple installation and SpeedZip® offers specifiers the option of tapered solutions. Therefore when choosing SpeedDeck® customers can save invaluable costs, enabling not only the building to open quickly and commence work far earlier, but also by saving money with the hiring of equipment, transportation and labour costs.
