Secure Your Home with Profilage and Bremick: Unmatched Protection Against Mauritian Cyclones

At Profilage, we understand that your home is your sanctuary. For over 30 years, since 1994, we’ve been dedicated to bringing comfort to your home by providing high-quality metal sheets, roofing accessories, fencing, and smoke and air ventilators. With Mauritius experiencing its share of severe weather, especially during cyclone season, ensuring the structural integrity of your roof is paramount. That's why Profilage proudly offers and recommends Bremick's Region D™ Cyclone Assembly – an innovative fastening solution designed and engineered to withstand the most severe cyclonic conditions.

 

Why Bremick Region D™ is the Smart Choice for Your Roof

 

Designed for Extreme Conditions: The Bremick® Region D™ Cyclone Assembly® is specifically designed for fastening the crests of corrugated and square rib roof cladding in cyclonic regions. It has been approved for the most severe tropical cyclones, classified as "Region D" in Australia, which aligns with the intense cyclonic activity we experience in Mauritius. This assembly is engineered to endure gale-force winds of alternating pressures and inward-spiraling winds that characterize cyclones.

 

Superior Durability and Corrosion Protection: At Profilage, we believe in products that last. The Bremick Region D™ Cyclone Assembly features a universal cyclonic load-spreading washer that is Aluminium Zinc Coated to AS1397, ensuring it matches the life of your roof cladding. This makes it suitable for ISO 9223 Category 5 environments, offering exceptional resistance to the corrosive coastal air common in Mauritius. Furthermore, the B8™ Coating provides extreme B8 corrosion protection in Category 5 environments. This commitment to durability means peace of mind for you and your family.

 

Innovative Design for Enhanced Performance: Bremick's design includes features that directly address common causes of roof failure during cyclones:

 

  • - Universal Load Spreading Washer: This unique washer is designed to suit both corrugated and square rib profiles, evenly distributing uplift pressure to prevent cracking and tearing of roof sheeting.
  • - WaterTight Collar (WTC): The concave-shaped WTC nests into the flange and pushes water away, effectively preventing water ingress. This has been rigorously tested and proven for water tightness in rainfall simulations.
  • - Non-Conductive EPDM Washer: This crucial component eliminates corrosion cells and metal-on-metal contact between the screw and the roofing iron, further enhancing the longevity of your roof.
  • - High Tensile Plate Material: The plate material is high tensile and Aluminium Zinc Hot Dip Coated, securely withstanding severe cyclonic pressure.

Rigorously Tested and Certified: Bremick's Region D™ Cyclone Assemblies have undergone extensive testing at the NATA accredited Cyclone Testing Station (CTS) at James Cook University. These tests include over 1000 cycles of extreme wind pressure surges and retreats to simulate a Category 5 Cyclone, demonstrating their ability to distribute extreme loads over a larger surface area. They are compliant with Australian and New Zealand specifications, including NCC 2019 Volume One and Part 3.5.1.0 NCC 2019 Volume Two, AS 4070 & AS 1170. For further assurance, they are accepted for inclusion in Lysaght’s Northern Territory “Deemed to Comply” Manual for various roof cladding profiles, showcasing their proven performance.
