Factors Determining The Selection Of Roofs For Industrial Shade Structures

By Clinton Hernandez


Weather elements such as ultra violet rays and rainfall may inhibit the productivity of human beings and other equipment. Industrial shade structure need roofs to protect those occupying them from the prevailing weather conditions. This helps keep them comfortable and shields them from extremities. There are certain factors that must be considered when choosing the correct type of covering for industrial shade structures.

How long the material lasts should be the most important factor to consider. Material that is likely to decay or get torn with continued exposure need to be avoided. The type of material used is subsequently translated to the number of times it needs repair, maintenance and replacement. Roofs made of zinc for instance last longer than those made of canvass.

The ability to withstand natural weather conditions should also be considered. During certain seasons there are fluctuations from extreme hot weather to cold weather. The roof selected should be made of material which can withstand such changes. It must shield the occupants of the structures properly without exposing them to weather elements. These occupants may range from mechanics at garages, to children at a day care center and their protection from extreme weather ensures their well-being.

Installations costs are also of importance. This does not only mean the cost of purchasing the roof but also the amount of money that will be used to transport it, and paying those who will install it. Spending too much money is not sensible economic wise and therefore all expenses must be within the budget. It needs to come at a moderately cheap and modest price to avoid over expenditure especially if it is to be put on a semi-permanent structure.

Structure covers provide protection, safety and insulation from weather elements that could affect the productivity of the occupants and therefore the prevailing climatic conditions of the area maters a lot when choosing them. Rainy places require covers that will not rot if exposed to water while areas that experience hot climate need covers that will not tear or change color if exposed to the same.

The location of the structure must be considered when selecting the type of roof to use. It is not only climatic conditions that affect its durability and efficiency but also the presence of other factors such as the presence of monkeys and birds have an effect too. Those made of canvass may not withstand such conditions.

The design of the building and value addition with the installation of the roof should be considered too. This emphasizes particularly the color used. Bright colors may fade and loose color with a lot of exposure to rain and the sun. Those with neutral colors may withstand any kind of discoloration and help maintain the aesthetic value of the building.

The type of use that the structure will be put into is also an important factor when choosing its roof. Industrial plants, warehouses and other heavy duty buildings need higher quality covers compared to domestic structures such as gazebos. This is because the former hold important material and machinery that need to be shielded as much as possible while the latter are only constructed for recreational purposes and therefore do not need heavy duty coverings.
