To ensure the durability and effectiveness of Bremick screws in securing roofing profiles, especially in challenging environments like cyclonic regions, it’s crucial to follow recommended installation practices. Correctly installed Bremick screws provide superior fastening strength and are rigorously tested to perform in extreme weather conditions. Below are guidelines to help ensure a successful installation that maximizes the screws’ performance and minimizes issues.
Bremick Screw Installation
- For best results, use a power screwdriver with variable speed from 2000 to 2500 RPM. Maintaining the correct speed range ensures optimal penetration and minimizes the risk of damage to the screw or roofing material.
- When used in cyclonic regions, the minimum base material specification shall be steel purlins 1.5mm to 3mm BMT G450 min. This specification is essential to withstand high wind forces and provide a secure attachment.
- The use of battery screwdrivers will significantly decrease drilling speed. Only use Bremick Drive Bits. DO NOT use impact drills. Impact drills can damage the screw tip, affecting its performance and the integrity of the installation.
- Bremick Roofing Assemblies (BRA) are preassembled fasteners that are tested and approved for crest fastening metal roofing profiles in cyclonic regions. Their robust design and preassembly make them ideal for use in extreme weather areas.
- Bremick screws are manufactured and tested after every batch is produced. This ensures consistent quality, giving you confidence in the performance of each screw.
- RPFL recommends only trained roofers for the installation of screws. Skilled installers are better equipped to handle the screws correctly, preventing errors that can lead to performance issues.
- If the correct installation procedure is NOT followed, metal screw tips may break. Adhering to guidelines helps prevent breakage and ensures the installation remains secure.
- RPFL will not be liable for replacement of any screw tip breakage due to incorrect installation; hence, no replacements will be provided. Following installation guidelines protects your investment and avoids potential warranty issues.
Following these installation practices and tips can help ensure your Bremick screws are installed correctly, providing lasting performance and reducing the risk of damage or warranty complications.
