In modern, rapidly developing, large cities, the cost of building land is increasing all the time. Developers and building owners try to make the most of all areas when constructing or renovating their facilities.
They increasingly turn to architects with a request - to provide for an exploited roof in a construction or reconstruction project. Objects with an exploited roof, as well as upper floors with access to the roof, are in great demand in the real estate market, therefore, the question of the rational use of all available areas, as well as the use of areas on the roof, is increasingly being raised. The operated roof not only protects the building from adverse weather conditions, but also withstands the loads associated with its use. Operated roofs allow you to completely change the appearance of the building and actively use roofs for arranging terraces, summer cafes, etc.
Much has already been written in various sources about the use of a flat roof, but most of the proposed technologies are frightening in their complexity. The Belgian company BUZON was the first to offer a solution that combined all the accumulated experience. Over the 30-year history of the company, a huge number of projects have been implemented around the world. Buzon Adjustable Screw Poles are a modern structural system for fast flooring. A wide range of additional accessories makes it possible to use most of the materials offered as a topcoat: concrete, granite and ceramic slabs, wood and composite flooring. The main advantages of this system are reduced load on the roof, ease of installation and further maintenance of the roof. Supports help reduce installation time and eliminate additional costs when laying decking on soft roofs and sloped surfaces.
Advantages of decking installed on Buzon adjustable feet
The free space between the waterproofing and the terrace coating makes it possible to lay the necessary communications (pipelines and electrical networks, etc.). | |
With the help of supports, the horizontal surface of the terrace and the base of the roof (waterproofing) with slopes for drainage are separated. The use of supports protects the waterproofing layer from mechanical stress and exposure to UV radiation. | |
Water, falling on the terrace, flows freely through the inter-tile space down to the waterproofing layer and then is removed from the roof through funnels. The free space provides air circulation under the terrace covering, which helps to dry the surface of the waterproofing layer and, accordingly, increase its service life. | |
Adjustable Buzon supports with a built-in slope angle corrector raise the pavement plane to the required height and give it a strictly horizontal position. Supports provide manufacturability, versatility and ease of installation, allowing them to be used on roof surfaces of various configurations and with slopes in all directions. | |
The decking is separated from the surface of the base (waterproofing), being a completely independent structure. The horizontal surface of the terrace can absorb thermal expansion (contraction) as well as structural movements in the building. | |
Without special requirements for the covering, the structure of the supported terrace, which has a low dead weight, is "floating", quick to erect and cost effective. |
High manufacturability, versatility and ease of installation of the system for erection of an exploited roof on adjustable supports BUZON allow them to be used on roof surfaces of various configurations and with slopes in all directions.
The system allows, if necessary, to combine different types of external coating, in accordance with the wishes of the customer. The installation features make it possible to carry out work in a short time and create almost any zone configuration in one or more levels. Adjustable supports Buzon connect the individual elements of the coating to each other so that no additional fixing of the tile to the surface of the base on which it is laid is required.
The outer covering of the terrace must have the following characteristics: bending strength, frost resistance, low water absorption, durability. The system is a set of height-adjustable supports and the top layer of the terrace. To date, this is the most optimal system for the device of an exploited roof.
When erecting an exploited roof, slabs made of natural or artificial stone have become widespread. In Europe, self-supporting ceramic granite with a thickness of 20 mm and a format of 600x600 mm is very popular. Thanks to the formulation of the mixture and production technology, porcelain stoneware slabs are distinguished by excellent performance: frost resistance, resistance to chemical reagents, the ability to withstand multiple temperature changes. Possessing an anti-slip surface, in combination with a high load-bearing capacity, porcelain stoneware ensures safe operation. Installation of the material can be carried out by workers without special training.
Of all the coatings used, this system is the most convenient in terms of further operation of the roof (repair, laying of communications, etc.).
The use of natural or artificial decking for the construction of an exploited roof also occupies a significant market share
Convenient screw connection supports BUZON allow you to quickly align the required heights for subsequent installation of the lag. Subsequently, this contributes to a quick and accurate installation of the terrace covering. Terrace boards are mounted using clips, observing the interpanel gaps required for free drainage. Water, falling on the terrace, flows down freely. Cleaning is simplified to one step - flushing the dirt from the hose under pressure. The same feature allows air to circulate freely under the surface of the coating, which contributes to the rapid drying of terrace boards.
Installation of green roofs on adjustable supports:
Taking into account all the technical problems of creating traditional multilayer green roofs (soil creep, the complexity of combining different surfaces, weight), the Belgian company Greenskin, together with BUZON, has developed a constructive installation system drainage modules Greenskin Box® (40 × 40 cm), on adjustable supports BUZON.
Greenskin box® - a patented, simple and quick solution for creating green roofs by connecting modules into a single coating, which allows you to quickly and efficiently create a green roof of various configurations, with different roof slopes, up to 20 degrees.
Greenskin roof landscaping system is distinguished by its low weight of the finished structure (no more than 60 kg per 1 sq. M. In a moisture-saturated state, taking into account the planted plants).
A very simple installation system. Moreover, on a flat roof, green areas can be combined with various kinds of buildings, paths, decorative elements, etc.
As plants forming a green cover all types of lawns, sedums and other green spaces can be used. Constructive solution of the Greenskin Box module® provides quick drainage in case of heavy precipitation, and also creates the necessary moisture reserve during the dry period.
With the help of BUZON adjustable screw supports, all technical problems of the operating roof are solved.
