Unique Halter
Building upon the ever increasing demand to
further improve thermal efficiency, Rigidal has
developed the unique Thermohalter. Utilising a
resin based material originally developed for the
space industry, thermal transmission through the
halter is virtually zero, achieving a part L compliant
system which provides 0.25 U values as standard
and with 0.2 and 0.16 also available. In addition,
the exceptional thermal efficiency of the
Thermohalter allows the system
height to be reduced, both
improving the aesthetics and
reducing overall construction
costs still further.
Widths/dimensions
Ziplok is available in three
standard widths of 300, 400 and
500mm. In addition, Ziplok can
be produced in non-standard
widths at any size from
240mm to 580mm, providing a
very cost effective way of
finishing roofs and also
allowing laying of the sheets
to take place from both ends
of the roof simultaneously. It
also allows designers the
freedom to choose the module
width or even to mix widths
on a single roof.
Cost effective
As the layout of the liner sheet
effectively sets out the halters
on site, Ziplok is particularly quick and easy to
install when used in conjunction with the
Thermohalter. In addition the design of
Thermohalter means that the Ziplok sheet snaps
onto the halter and therefore does not have to be
zipped one sheet at a time, so increasing the
speed of construction still further and providing an
exceptionally user friendly and cost effective
construction.
If required, Rigidal Ziplok can also be provided as a
bar and bracket system using Corogrid as the
spacer system.
RIGIDAL ZIPLOK SYSTEM
2
An advanced zip-up standing
seam roofing system with
unique halter design
Rigidal Ziplok is a BBA approved, advanced zip-
up standing seam system that creates a
continuous weathertight roof. The side laps are
zipped up in conjunction with a unique halter
system that is fixed directly to the supporting
structure without penetrating the external
weather sheet. This method of
secret fixing creates a
structurally sound roof that
gives excellent resistance to
wind uplift with outstanding
aesthetic properties.
The Systems Approach
Ziplok typifies Rigidals
systems approach to roofing.
By offering a complete range of
complementary products, we
are able to ensure compatibility
between components, and
more importantly ensure that
we provide a roof which
performs according to its
design criteria in all respects.
Apart from the benefits of one
stop shopping, the complete
approach to the whole system
is the only way that the
integrity of that system can be
guaranteed, or that it can be
shown to have compliance with
the ever more stringent Building Regulations and
Technical Standards.
Other benefits of buying from a single source
include being able to eliminate problems of colour
matching or other incompatabilities, since we are
able to ensure that fascias and accessories are
produced from the same batch of coated coil as
the top sheet. More importantly, the systems
approach enables us to calculate variations in
terms of acoustic properties and thermal
transmissions to suit different applications, as
well as loading capabilities, impact resistance etc.
RIGI DAL ZI PLOK - Zip-up standing seam roof system
Rigidal has eight roll forming
machines, three of which are
mobile providing on-site
manufacture where required.
This allows very long
sheet lengths to be
produced eliminating the
need for endlaps and greatly
increasing the speed of construction.
In addition, Rigidal Ziplok can be smooth
curved down to radii as tight as four metres
convex or eight metres concave, as well as crimp
curved, tapered or wave formed.

This is sufficient to prevent the possibility of water
entering the building via the junction with the gutter.
At hip and ridge positions, the profile can be
turned up to form an apex dam across the width of
the panel. This detail and the standing seam side
lap detail is then overlapped by the verge.
Secretly Fixed
Rigidal Ziplok features a secretly fixed true
standing seam side lap detail which provides a
continuous weathertight roof and excellent
protection in all weather conditions.
Long Lengths
Rigidal Ziplok is available in very long lengths and
can be rolled on-site where sheet lengths exceed
that which can be delivered by road. This
eliminates the need for end laps and consequently
the potential for water ingress.
The unique design of Rigidal Ziplok addresses the
problem of leakage without an over reliance on
sealants or a myriad of components.

Roof failure is the largest single source of litigation
in the UK construction industry. Rigidal Ziplok
Systems overcome the many issues that can
seriously impair the performance and lifespan of
metal roofing systems.
No Leaks
Leaking roofs are accountable for more roofing
defects than all other issues put together. Secret
fixing to avoid water penetration via the primary
fasteners is a step in the right direction, but falls a
long way short of providing a complete solution.
Approximately 90% of all reported roof
leakage is experienced within 10% of the total
roof area at perimeter details.
Regardless of the degree of fall on a roof slope
hips, ridges and penetrations can all be a
source of water ingress.
Eaves/gutter junctions and verges on lower
roof pitches can also become points of
water entry.
Perimeter Detailing
Water ingress at perimeter details is avoided by
overlapping and interlocking the upstand seams of
Rigidal Ziplok sheets. This ensures that any water
is directed towards the eaves and not back into
the building.
For low pitch applications the eaves overhang
on the topsheet can be turned down to increase
the angle of run off by approximately 20.
5
Outstanding Structural Performance
Structural performance is another major factor
that can result in roof failure. Again Rigidal Ziplok
provides an ideal solution to the most commonly
experienced problems.
Wind Uplift
Rigidal Ziplok standing seam roofing systems
provide excellent resistance to wind uplift due to
their unique fixing method. The thermally broken
halter firmly secures the roof system to the
steelwork below. The strength of this joint and
fixing detail is completed by zipping the side laps
together to create a secretly fixed roofing envelope
with outstanding structural performance.
A Complete Roof Envelope
A full range of integrated fascias, gutters and
flashings are also available providing the
designer/specifier with a complete one-stop
roofing solution. Made to individual specifications,
all are designed to complement the outstanding
aesthetic and performance standards of Rigidal
Ziplok. Factory assembled rooflights and a full
range of of fasteners and fixings completes the
comprehensive package.

Rigidal Ziplok System Options
Thermohalter
Rigidals unique Thermohalter can be used in
the traditional Rigidal Ziplok system without
cold bridging through the system. The liner
sheet acts as a template for setting
out the halters on site,
making this system not only
world beating in terms
of performance but
also very cost
effective, quick and
easy to install.
Bar and bracket
If required, Ziplok
can be used in a bar
and bracket system, where
the traditional aluminium halter is
mounted on a galvanised rail which in
turn is mounted on galvanised brackets.
Rigidal recommends Corogrid as the bar and
bracket system in this application.

Rigidal Ziplok System Options
Acoustics
Rigidal Ziplok is available in numerous
acoustic systems. By using a variety
of insulation thicknesses and
densities a whole host of
performances can be achieved.
The standard 0.25 U value
construction also achieves better than
40dB sound reduction. By utilising
perforated liner or deck in conjunction with a high
density layer of insulation, significant sound
absorption can be achieved. Three layer systems can
be purpose designed to achieve a combination of
both sound absorption and sound reduction. Our
acoustic systems are regularly used in schools,
residential projects, sports halls and hospitals.
Structural deck
Structural decking offers a simplified method of
construction by dispensing with the need for
purlins. The structural deck is used to
span the portal frames of the
building, thereby using
fewer components and
giving clean lines to the
interior of the building.
Decking can be
non perforated,
web or fully
perforated allowing
acoustic requirements to
be accommodated within this
system.
Rigidal also offer a range of structural liner trays,
both solid and perforated, which while normally
used in wall applications can also be applied in roof
applications where a flush interior finish is required.

Rigidal Ziplok Tapers and Curves
Tapers
Rigidals Ziplok panels are available rolled
tapered, with the UKs first tapering machine.
Previously, any tapering of sheets had to be
carried out by cutting and welding tapered
blanks then roll forming, with the inevitable
labour costs which this incurred. The state of
the art tapering machine is believed to be the
only one capable of rolling tapers in a single
pass from coil, and allows the production of
tapered sheet at a similar rate to parallel
sheet. The roll former is also mobile, allowing
tapering to be carried out on site if required,
which in turn means that, unlike our
competitors, the length of tapered sheet is
no longer restricted by transport or
production capability.
Tapers can be from a minimum width of
240mm at one end to 580mm at the other
end, on sheets with a minimum length of
3.5m and up to any length maximum.
Tapered sheets will self curve to a 40m
radius and can be machine curved to 20m
radius if required.
Curves
Rigidal Ziplok can be curved in a variety of
options to suit the required application.
The profile can be concave, convex or wave
shaped, incorporating both curves in one
sheet.
Profiles will self curve to a large radius,
otherwise they can be mechanically smooth
curved down to 4m radius convex curves or
8m radius concave curves. If required,
profiles can be crimp curved down to
600mm radius.
In all cases, the micro ribbing of the Ziplok
profile helps to produce a clean, crisp curved
appearance.

Rigidal Systems prides itself on the
designed-in safety of its roofing
systems. As part of our systems
approach to the roofing envelope
we also offer a range of walkways
and fall arrest systems designed to
ensure that ongoing maintenance
of the roof can be carried out in
complete safety, confident that the
safety systems are wholly
compatible and have been tried and
tested with the roof structure.
Fall arrest systems
Rigidals fall arrest systems use either
a 8mm 316 stainless steel cable, a
unique 16mm polyester parallel fibre
cable, or an extruded aluminium rail.
All systems offer exceptional benefits
and the polyester cable is available in a
range of colours to suit a buildings
exterior.
Walkways and access systems
Designed to complement the Ziplok
standing seam profiles, Safegrip
provides a safe walkway system which
also removes the risk of damage from
foot traffic. Using the unique
attachment system, no fixing through
the outer skin of the roof is required so
the walkway does not compromise
the integrity or performance of the
Ziplok system.

Rigidal Ziplok Projects
In conjunction with Alliance Warranty
Management, Rigidal Systems is able to offer
complete system warranties which insure the
completed roof for an agreed period under the QA+ Guarantee
Scheme.
No premium is directly payable by the client or the main contractor
as this is covered by Rigidal Systems pricing policy.
The process by which a warranty is arranged starts at design stage
where the architect should specify that the QA+ Guarantee is to
be in place. This will require that the roofing contractor is to be
vetted, approved and part of the scheme. All drawings will be
vetted by the main contractor and work will be inspected at various
stages during the course of construction. On completion, the
warranty will be issued, confirming that the whole roof system and
all components have been vetted and approved.
An important aspect of the service is that it ensures that only
Rigidals first class components find their way into the roofing
system, where often components can be substituted by inferior
products. The vetting process also ensures that any potential
problems of design or workmanship are identified at an early stage
and rectified before completion of the roof, so ensuring that any
problems with the completed project are less likely to occur in the
first place.
