PITCHED ROOF, BITUMEN/FOIL

It is crucial to calculate the snow load for a pitched roof, which theoretically and in practice will try to pull the facility off the roof. Depending on the roof pitch and structure, these forces must be effectively transferred down into the structural framework of the roof to ensure the service life of the facility.

What type of roof structure is involved?

Select below between warm or cold roof (insulated or uninsulated just below the roof membrane) and then select the type of roof structure involved: trapezoidal panels, wooden rafters or board-based.

Technical data

The design of the PITCHED ROOF solution is based on the FIXNORDIC console system and has a remarkably high pull capacity thanks to being directly attached to the structural framework of the building. This means that the wind factor is no longer critical. The traction capacity of the console system is usually three times greater than required.

FIXNORDIC’s unique roof consoles are patented, and their watertightness has been third-party tested by TÜV Rheinland. In practice, this means that the console system will have the same minimum service life as the roof membrane.

At FIXNORDIC, we deliver not just a reliable console and installation system with thoroughly sealed penetration of the roof membrane, but our technical calculations also ensure that our console systems can withstand the elements, because our calculations are based on each individual installation solution. This means that you, as a FIXNORDIC customer, get the best console system on the market, which includes documentation of your specific system.


FIXNORDIC’s console system is based on aerodynamic testing of wind resistance carried out by RC Ruscheweyh Consult GmbH, and on snow loads of the console system and loads on the roof structure at each individual point of attachment. All calculations comply with Eurocodes’ basis for wind calculations, EN 1991:1-4, and snow calculations, EN 1991:1-3.
