Eternit has been producing profiled sheeting for over 100 years. Eternit FarmTec is perfect for agricultural, livestock, and equestrian buildings, not to mention a whole host of other sectors.
Benefits:
• Moisture absorption: ability to absorb up to 25% of its dry weight in moisture
• Durability: rust, rot and corrosion resistance in excess of 50 years
• Insulation: the thermal and acoustic properties of fibre cement produce a more stable internal environment than steel, resulting in improved wellbeing and productivity
• High absorbency: minimises the risk of condensation dripping
• Extensive colour range
When are movement joints required?
Length of building Number of movement joints
0-45m 0
45-75m 1
75-105m 2
Plus, one extra movement joint for every additional 30m.
Applications
Movement joints are intended for use in long, continuous stretches of roofing or vertical sheeting, to accommodate thermal and other movements. BS 8219 recommends that movement joints be included in stretches of roofing and vertical sheeting on buildings exceeding 45 metres in length.
They should also be designed to coincide with any structural or movement joints provided in the building, in which case, there should always be a movement joint through the complete system.
For buildings in which the temperature or humidity is higher than normal, or which are subjected to sudden changes in temperature, the movement joints may be required at closer centres than indicated. Contact the Eternit Technical department for further advice.
Cranked movement joint ridge
Cranked movement joint ridges are available to suit FarmTec ridge pieces, when laying cranked crown ridges, it forms a 25-30mm movement gap as detailed above and then cover it with the cranked movement joint ridges, screwing them directly to the ridge purlins.
Note: When laying the straight movement joint, the top end should butt up to the overlap of the cranked crown ridge piece. The crown cap, being longer than the crown ridge piece will then correctly overlap the straight movement joint.
