When using single skin cladding without a steel liner panel additional restraints are required as shown in Table 1:3, to enable published load tables to be used.

Twin Skin Cladding
The published safe loads may be used with all traditional twin skin cladding products, providing that a through fix steel liner is employed adequately fixed to the section.

Other Cladding
For all other types of cladding, please consult our Technical Department.
Standing seam type systems (eg; Kingzip, Kalzip, etc...)
The published safe loads may be used with all through fix single skin cladding, including use with foam board or over blanket insulation adequately fixed to the section.
If a through fixed steel liner panel is used in conjunction with clip-fixed roof panels, no additional restraint may be required and published safe loads may be used.
A factory manufactured composite panel, comprising of steel and insulation eg. Kingspan KS1000RW / Ward IP1000. When these panels are fixed to the purlin top flange using through fix self tap, self drilling screws, three number per panel, then restraint is provided to the Multibeam purlins to enable the published load tables to be supported.
A trapezoidal steel deck is fixed directly to the Multibeam purlins using self drill, self tapping screws. A layer of board insulation is placed on top of the deck and attached, plus an impermeable membrane is laid over the insulation and bonded or held in place by ballast. The deck is generally fixed at every trough to the purlin and will then provide sufficient restraint to support the published load tables if the secondary restraints are as shown in table

Insulated panel – Membrane insulated roof system
(eg Ward Topdeck).
A special fixing technique allows the attachment screws to fix the inner steel deck profile directly to the purlin, providing adequate restraint to support the published load tables when the restraints as shown in table are used.

Tiled Roofs
The shape and strength of the Multibeam section is eminently suitable to sustain the greater loadings imposed by a tiled roof. However, due to the nature of the forces imposed upon the purlin sections by this form of roof construction, additional considerations are required in the design of the purlin.

Angle Strut Anti-Sag System
The angle strut brace system caters for the downslope force produced in the roof from dead and superimposed loads. The section capacities are based on using an anti-sag system with restraints at a minimum of 1/3 points and a minimum angle of 30° on the screwed rods. Table 1.4 shows the max spans achievable for this combination with the cross centres of purlins shown. Where the span is curtailed by the minimum 30° angle of the diagonal rods, place the restraints at 1/4 points as shown in table 1.4. One set of diagonals are required for every 6.0m length of roof slope. As long as this is complied with the roof slope can be any length. Stiffened cleats should also be used with tiled roof construction.

Anti-Sag requirements with metal liner
When certain cassette metal liner profiles are fixed to the purlin top flange, enough restraint may be provided in order to use the standard load tables in conjunction with the anti-sag system. For further advice please contact our Technical Department.

  Multibeam purlins can be used with all types of modern roof cladding systems including metal composite panels, standing seam, insulated membrane panels, and traditional tiles. However, it should be noted that certain types of roof cladding do not give the necessary lateral restraint to purlins and additional restraints may be required.
