The joint
standing

On cover or cladding, metal coatings in standing joint are on the rise. Their realization, however, requires specific know-how and equipment: Dimos supports you to take the plunge.

A booming market

The metal roof is one of the markets most carrying the cover. For more than two decades, metal roofs have flourished all over Europe and around the world. This trend, very localized and limited to certain experts in its beginnings, has since been widely democratized.

Architects acclaim metallic roofs because they offer a wide variety of materials (zinc, copper, but also aluminum, steel or stainless steel and many others), shapes (bending and other complex forms) and especially colors, with an almost infinite palette: each particular or collective accommodation could soon be completely unique.

This development is still accelerating with the rise of cladding, a strong growth activity for both new and renovation.

Get into the standing joint

Starting a metallic coverage activity in standing joint requires good knowledge of the installation technique, either by training or by recruiting a new resource.

If we are well organized, this type of roof also allows almost everything to prepare everything in the workshop. Once on the site, only the installation remains and certain finishes. If it allows you to anticipate the sites, the layout is then of particular importance.

Equipment for standing joint

The equipment in tools and machines is essential in the standing joint activity in order to gain productivity and the quality of finished work.

It is possible to buy bins already shaped from your supplier or distributor, but this requires great precision on the preparation and site footage. It is very quickly economically interesting to invest in a profiler, the most sophisticated models such as the Dipro P7200 even allowing to manage full series to prepare all its roof.

The job of the standing joint requires a large number of tools, sometimes very specific, because the finishes are very numerous and require dexterity and precision so that the visual rendering of the roof is always satisfactory for the end customer.
