Bushfire rated roofing profile " shield" insert for use when AS 1530.1 is specified
Abstract The application refers to an element within profiled roofing and wall cladding systems as used in commercial and domestic construction. Our system is a profile blocking shield (referred to as "FZ -S") that encloses the profile gap between the purlin & roof. The Building Code Australia (BCA) requires that in bushfire designated areas all systems used for this function, must conform to AS3959 or be constructed from elements that are certified as non-combustible as per AS1530/1. The application therefore is for a FZ -S with an external facing shield that conforms to AS1530/1 and consists of a profile face Fig A, with a 90 degree mirror profile Fig B, (or it can be a tab which matches the high part of the front profile ) but is 2mm smaller in all dimensions to the roof profile, and it can have an optional polymeric foam part that is 2mm larger in all dimensions which is fixed onto the back of the front face Fig A, which is able then also able to create a dust and air seal (fig C).
