WindClamps
S-5!
Wind uplift can be dramatic, threatening to tear a metal roof from its mounting; external seam reinforcements can reduce the likelihood of failure. S-5! says its WindClamps dramatically improve your roof system’s wind uplift performance and have “proven necessary” in some regions, preserving rooftops with an increased chance of extreme weather conditions. For a low investment, S-5! says WindClamps increase — and often double — wind resistance, preventing multiple modes of failure, including clip disengagement when used at a clip location.
