As a professional steel structure company integrating design, production, processing, and installation, we deeply understand:"The devil is in the details." Perfect joints are the lifeline that ensures the long-term safety and watertightness of steel-structured houses. Why is the panel overlap so critical? The lap joints of the panels are the weakest point of the roof. If not handled properly, it can lead to a series of problems: Rainwater leakage:This is the most common problem; wind and rain can seep through the joints, damaging indoor equipment and decoration. Thermal bridge effect:Loose joints can create heat exchange channels, leading to significant loss of air conditioning in summer and heating in winter, thereby increasing energy consumption. Wind damage:In strong wind areas, inadequately overlapping panels can easily be lifted by the wind, causing significant damage. Dust and pests:Small gaps can become passages for dust and insects, impacting the indoor environment. Our professional splicing treatment solution: meticulous craftsmanship, forging perfection. For different products and building sections, we have a set of scientific and rigorous overlap treatment methods to ensure that every connection is "seamless." 1. Horizontal overlap: The art of flowing downstream. Lateral overlapping refers to the overlapping of panels in the vertical direction along the slope of the roof. Standard requirements:We determine the overlap length strictly based on the roof slope and local rainfall intensity. Generally, the smaller the slope, the longer the overlap length (usually no less than 250mm). Sealing treatment:At the joint, we useDedicated waterproof sealantBefore the upper and lower panels are bonded together, we will continuously and evenly apply sealant along the overlapping edges of the lower panel to form the first line of elastic sealing defense. Fixed skills:The fixed screws must be driven into the crest position of the overlap and matched withHigh-quality EPDM waterproof gasket"Our"Steel structure accessorie
