Weather Durability

All roofs have been designed to be structurally sound and watertight when subjected to serve gusts of wind typically from 83/125mph (133/201kph) in the UK. Each roof will withstand minimum loads equivalent to 75kg/metre uniformly distributed load and 91kg/metre concentrated load. (As reference, the average weight of an adult is 70kg) Accelerated weather tests at the BBA indicated a minimum life expectancy of 25 years in an environment featuring:
