Astro System

Uses

  • WALL / SOFFIT / ROOF

Features & benefits

  • Faster installation as no requirement for automatic or manual seam closing making it a good choice for more standard applications in both roofing and wall cladding.
  • Flat appearance with no stress added to the panels, meaning less oil canning (particularly with the use of zinc and copper roofing panels).
  • Astro roofing is similar in appearance to that of standing seam with a wide tray and a neutral raised seam.
  • Revolutionary way of installing sophisticated metals and is easy to use in more straight forward applications.
  • Ability to adapt to lower pitched roofs with a 38mm seam height catering for pitch down to 1.5 degrees.
  • Ideal for very long panels as fixing details allows for more expansion and contractions.
  • Usable for both snap lock metal roofing & wall cladding and ability to connect with continuous seam.
  • Fully non-combustible system.

Material options

Aluminum

FEATURES
  • Superior quality aluminium, produced overseas and available for use in all our panel systems.
  • Alloy 3005 with a temper of H42.
  • Pre-painted using a PVDF paint system, using at least two layers to produce a minimum paint thickness of 27 microns.
  • Can be used in areas without direct rainfall with no corroding or discolouring.

Zinc

FEATURES
  • Composed of very high quality zinc (at least 99% pure) alloyed with copper and titanium to make it harder and stronger, increasing both mechanical and creep resistance.
  • Continues to develop a natural protective layer (or patina) as it ages, self-repairing any marks and scratches throughout its lifetime.

Copper

FEATURES
  • Lifespan of 70­­–100 years, depending on exact location.
  • As a result of surface oxidisation caused by weathering, copper forms a protective barrier (patina) that resists further corrosion and extends its life.
  • This results in ongoing colour changes depending on the environment – from blue-green to nut-brown.
