Support bar system
What do support bars do?
Support bars are essential to any metal roofing or cladding system. They’re used to separate the outer skin from the internal liner sheet. This stops the low-density insulation from being damaged and allows your construction to accommodate almost any depth of insulation. They help the thermal efficiency of the roof or wall and also help the stability of a building. They support the outer sheet and transfer external loads to the structural elements of the building or roof.
The choice you need
We stock the Quattro support bar system. When you combine this with other products from the Tektum range our systems offer the potential for increased construction depths. Quattro offers the stable performance required for modern metal construction and are compatible across the majority of metal building applications.
Efficiency to meet modern regulations
The latest building regulations mean that support bars are even more critical to the efficiency and stability of a metal roofing or cladding system. These new regulations mean that insulation depths have to increase to meet desired U-values. Traditional supports may struggle to meet these increased depths of insulation and could become unstable when dynamic loads are applied to the roof.
