The OVER-ROOF system is the term generally used to describe the installation of a new Steel Framing addition over an existing primary structure to support the new structure. This Somundy manufactured product facilitates any modifications to the service systems (electrical and sanitary, Hvac, among others) resulting from the new shape of the floors, slabs or mezzanines, decks and complete new spaces over terraces.
APPLICATION:
In space renovation or refurbishment procedures where total replacement or substitution of a deck or over existing floors and slabs or mezzanines is not necessary.
Creation of new additional living spaces provided that the existing primary structure can support the additional loads such as full floor extensions over terraces.
BENEFITS:
- The over-deck system reduces costs to the end customer especially if the option replaces the idea of totally replacing a deck, a floor or mezzanine and slab.
- Overcome leakage problems in flat roofs.
- Being a lightweight system, Steel framing is flexible in design and allows the addition of several floors over a pre-existing structure without the need for reinforcements in the main structure as long as the engineering validates it.
- It is not necessary to vacate the space, so the building can be inhabited in case of extensions, since the system is clean and industrialized.
