Application

Typical uses include:

  • Architectural cladding rail supports.
  • Solar panels.
  • Roof plant supports.
  • Timber decking.
  • Roof area zoning.
  • Roof services supports.
  • Roof walkways.


Suitable for use with the following roof covering types:

  • Built-up roofing systems.
  • Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) roofing membrane.
  • Glass reinforced plastic (GRP) roof coverings.
  • Liquid applied roof coatings.
  • Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) roofing membrane.
  • Styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) and atactic polypropylene (APP) modified bitumen membranes.
  • Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing membrane.

Description

ROOFTRAK® IFP-250 Integrated fixing point system for cold and warm roof constructions, provides a structural connection whilst maintaining 100% integrity of the waterproofing layer.


Features and benefits:

  • Designed for flat, pitched and vertical roof constructions where the roofing membrane or weathering layer is directly over the structural roof deck.
  • Comprised of a 250 x 250 mm fixing plate and a single central threaded M10 anchor point, meaning that the fixing point can be used in any orientation, helping to simplify and streamline installation processes.
  • To weather the fixing plate, the IFP 250 is factory fitted with an appropriate flange material to enable it to be weathered or sealed to the main roof area.
  • Can be fixed into 18 mm-thick plywood as in structural insulated panels (SIPs), or concrete roof decks.

Manufacturer guidance

Select material for weathering flange from the list below, or consult manufacturer and insert appropriate details.

Accessories

None.

Direct fixing suitable for roof structure.

Guidance for specification option:

  • Material: Corrosion resistant steel or stainless steel.
  • Size: 30–300 mm.
  • Suitable for timber, steel deck and concrete substrates.
  • Very high uplift resistance values: Maximum: 5 kN.
  • Low profile head.
  • TX25 drive.

10 mm shim, IFP-SH.

Guidance for specification option:

Packing shim designed to fit over the anchor point where multiple anchor points need to be level. Can be used in multiples to achieve greater packing dimensions. Note that a longer bolt will be required to secure them to the anchor points: care should be taken in selecting the bolt length as the anchor points are blind threaded holes.


  • Material: High-density polyethylene (HDPE).
  • Size: Diameter: 76 mm; thickness: 10 mm.
  • Typical uses: Solar panel installations; roof walkway. supports; signage supports; roof plant supports.


M10 bolt set, IFP-BS.

Guidance for specification option:

Standard bolt set for IFP products, comprising a pair of M10 hex bolts and washers. Suitable for bolting materials 0.5–10 mm thick (for >10 mm thickness, a longer bolt will be required).


  • Material: A2 grade stainless steel.
  • Bolt length: 20 mm.
  • Typical uses: Unistrut and other rail systems; general bracketry.


Movement bracket (straight), IFP-MB1.

Guidance for specification option:

Connecting brackets designed for use with the IFP products. Fixing holes that allow it move to accommodate thermal expansion of the frame or support members fixed to it. For further details, including loading values, consult manufacturer.


  • Material: 304 stainless steel.
  • Size (l x w x t; overall): IFP-MB1: 160 x 75 x 3 mm.
  • Typical uses: For securing metal framing systems or other components where thermal movement should be provided for.

Load

Manufacturer's standard.

Manufacturer guidance

It is assumed that the IFP is fixed directly through the roofing membrane into the substrate below with 8 no. fixings and that the supporting structure has the capacity to support the design loadings likely to be encountered.


- Compressive load:

Maximum compressive load to be applied: 5.0 kN.

- Shear load:

Maximum shear load to be applied: 2.5 kN.

- Tensile load:

Note: Values are based on the Fixfast SF-RS-6.1 fastener as per European Technical Approval 15/0406 and allow a safety factor of three on the combined mean axial pullout value of eight fixings. For concrete substrates note that these are typical figures but should be verified by onsite pullout tests.

  • Fixed to 18 mm plywood substrate to EN 636: 5.0 kN.
  • Fixed to 18 mm oriented strand board (OSB/3) substrate to EN 300: 4.2 kN.
  • Fixed to 25 mm softwood boarding: 5.0 kN.
  • Fixed to softwood timber with 35 mm embedment: 5.0 kN.
  • Fixed to concrete substrate: 5.0 kN.
