AHUBASE Roof Support – What is it and what are its advantages?
The roof is the most critical structural element of a building, primarily responsible for protecting the facility from atmospheric conditions. Air Handling Units (AHUs) installed on rooftops have a relatively high mass; therefore, proper support and installation are crucial to ensure a safe and solid structure. The AHUBASE / AHUBASE FLEX roof supports available in our product range are designed for the secure installation of support structures for equipment and systems mounted on both pitched and flat roofs. The AHUBASE roof support by HVAC Ratherm is characterized by high stability and uniform load distribution.
What are the advantages of AHUBASE roof supports?
Our roof supports are available in various shapes and configurations that can be customized to meet specific requirements. They offer numerous benefits, including:
1. Weather Resistance
Mounting components located on a roof are constantly exposed to various weather conditions (rain, snow, hail, intense sunlight), which can lead to corrosion and damage. The AHUBASE roof support in our offer is manufactured from PA630GF plastic and EPDM regranulate. These high-quality materials guarantee durability and a robust installation, providing long-term protection against harmful atmospheric factors.
2. Multi-stage Adjustment
The AHUBASE Flex roof support allows for precise adjustment of the unit’s inclination angle within a 7-degree range. This is vital for achieving more efficient operation of the ventilation and air conditioning system, which can also translate into significant energy savings.
3. Easy Installation
AHUBASE supports are designed for mounting support structures on flat and pitched roofs for various devices and installations. They are equipped with specialized brackets and a fastening system that makes the installation process quick and easy. Furthermore, the system is characterized by a clean and aesthetic appearance.
