CHARACTERISTICS:
INTERMEDIATE FRAMES
Intermediate frames consist of built-up welded
primary framing members.
In modular frame cases, intermediate columns
are either C.H.S. sections, hot-rolled profiles, or
built-up welded profiles.
Frames are complemented by flange bracing,
connection bolts and anchor bolts.
Generally, the base of the intermediate frame is
pinned. Certain circumstances demand a fixed
base approach.
• Steel qualities according to EN 10025, part 2
- built-up welded profiles: S355J2+N
- hot-rolled profiles: S 235 or S 355
• Protection:
- All profiles are shot blasted to SA 2.5
Endwall frames consist of either built-up welded,
hot-rolled or cold-rolled columns which support
a cold formed Z rafter.
Frames are complemented by connection bolts,
anchor bolts and wind bracing.
• Protection:
- Cold formed components are galvanised.
- Built-up welded primary framing members or
hot-rolled elements have the same protection
as the intermediate frame.
WIND BRACING
Wind bracing provides the longitudinal stability
of the building.
It consists of cross bracing located in roof and
sidewalls, in one or more bays depending on
loadings and the length of the building.
If it is not possible to have cross bracing in the
sidewalls, it can be replaced by wind portal
frames or by fixed base wind columns, located
adjacent to and connected to the mainframe
columns.
CRANE BRACKETS
Brackets support the crane beams and are fixed
to the column flanges.
CRANES
Refer to the section dedicated to this product.
MEZZANINE BEAMS
Refer to the section dedicated to this product.
- To afford protection during transportation and
erection, all profiles receive a primer coat of
80 microns thickness, in either red, blue or
grey colour.
- Optionally, corrosion protection paint can be
provided, with a thickness of 100 microns.

EN 10326
ROOF PURLINS
Purlins are galvanised Z profiles, produced by
cold roll forming.
They are fixed to the rafters of the primary structure and due to the overlaps between the purlins
on the rafters, act as continuous beams.
Purlins
Eave purlins can be C profiles or double Z profiles. Connections are made using galvanised
bolts.
WALL GIRTS
Girts are galvanised Z profiles, produced by cold
roll forming.
There are two types of assembly:
- either they are continuous beams with overlaps adjacent to the main frame columns, the
connection being made using galvanised bolts
directly into the column flanges.
- or they can be simply supported between the
columns, the connection being made using
cleats and galvanised bolts into the column
webs.

• Overlapping seams between the panels:
The panels are laid side-by-side such that the
interlocking standing seams snap together.
• Fixing to the secondary framing:
The panels are fixed to the purlins by special
slotted clips which are placed between the
interlocking seams and the purlin. The fixing
is not visible from the outside. The clip has
one end fixed by self-drilling screws to the
purlin and the other end fits snugly between
the interlocking panel seams.
SECONDARY FRAMING
The secondary framing is normally Z purlins
with a 1.5 m purlin spacing. (Refer section "Secondary framing")
10
WEATHERTIGHTNESS
Both ASTROTEC panels and the fastening clips
receive a factory-applied mastic sealant.
When the interlocking standing seam connection
snaps together, the sealant is widely distributed
between both panel lips and the clips. This ensures a safe, tight, long-term seal.
ASTROTHERM INSULATION:
The inside fastening clips between the secondary
framing and the panels provide space for installation of the ASTROTHERM thermal insulation.
The compression of the glass wool over the
purlins being reduced, cold bridges are minimised, giving excellent thermal performance.

AUXILIARY STRUCTURE
The auxiliary structure consists of:
• OMEGA spacers, fabricated from high-tensile
galvanised steel, in a range of different sizes to
suit the differing thicknesses of insulation.
They are fixed through the interior PR panel
onto the secondary framing with self-drilling
screws.

Tape sealant to the side and endlaps of the interior panels provides a complete and effective
vapour barrier. As a result, unfaced insulation of
100, 120 or 200 mm thickness, placed between
the two skins, does not require stapling.
Double skin roof achieves an excellent fire rating
(A1 according to EN 13501-1) due to the
absence of insulation facing and consequently
adhesive.
The double skin roof structure greatly reduces
the risk of condensation as there are no cold
bridges over the purlins.
12
PERFORATED INSIDE
SHEETING:
When improved acoustic properties are
required, PR interior panel can be supplied in a
perforated version (~25%), reference PG.
For aesthetical reasons, a layer of black fibre
glass felt is installed between the panel and the
insulation. Insulation must have a bonded
vapour-barrier in this case.
ACCESSORIES:
A broad range of integrated accessories, from the
PR/ ASTROTEC range, ensures optimum weathertightness.
NB: For further technical information, refer to
the "ASTRON PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS"
and the "ACCESSORIES" binder.

MEZZANINES
Mezzanines are an important feature of many industrial and
commercial/retail buildings, both to suit requirements of modern stocking
and storage techniques and to maximise the efficiency of machinery
layouts and production flows. This is particularly true in view of today’s
land prices and availability.
While they can be tailored to any
BENEFITS:
building, judicious planning of
mezzanine requirements early in the
• Single source supply for mezzanine and building
• Integrated design of the mezzanine in the building
conception of a new facility can
• Increased usable space
dramatically improve the
• Reduced construction time: simultaneous erection of mezzacost/performance
ratio of the
nine and the building
construction
• Guaranteed quality by use of precast elements, in steel or in
concrete.
FOUR MEZZANINE SYSTEMS
ARE AVAILABLE:
For new technologies and fast track construction:
- INODEK system
- MONODEK system
For in situ concrete solution:
- MULTIDEK system
- COMDEK system
INODEK SYSTEM
INODEK
A floor beam system based on a steel frame
which provides the full advantage of slim floor
construction yet avoids the disadvantages of
downstanding beams and higher weight:
• pre-engineered and prefabricated elements
• faster construction
• spans up to 7,5 m
• anti-fire protection easy to make, only the
interior flange has to be protected
• no downstand beams/ no service obstructions
MONODEK SYSTEM
MONODEK
Beams are designed to accept traditional precast
concrete panels.
Precast concrete panels are laid down on beams
generally in line with the axis of the building
frames.
By incorporating the beams into the building,
this system offers significant advantages:
• spans between 5 and 9 m
• fast and easy erection
30
• the most advantageous price
• optimum use of materials
MULTIDEK SYSTEM
Generally the concrete is cast on metal decking,
which can be laid continuously, allowing design
optimisation of sections to reduce weight and
cost.
All other types of flooring can be applied such
as timber, chequer plate, etc...
This system provides for following benefits:
• spans up to 9 m
• floor beam spacings are usually 3 m, from
floor beam to floor beam
• maximum flexibility for positioning and size of
openings, even after completion of the mezzanine design and construction
MULTIDEK
COMDEK SYSTEM
Main beams and precambered floor beams have
shear studs provided on the upper flanges. This
assures "composite" action between beam and
concrete, for improved load bearing capacity
and larger spans with low weight.
A floor beam spacing of ± 2,5 m has been
selected to minimise floor thickness, taking into
account the characterists of both concrete and
metal shuttering.
High strength steel in combination with the
concrete slab in the composite beam structure
provides advantages:
• depending on loading, wide spans up to 16 m
mean fewer supporting columns to obstruct
space below
• high load capacity
COMDEK
Different formwork systems can be adopted such
as metal decking, traditional concrete shuttering
and precast concrete elements.
As an option, ASTRON can provide metal shuttering and other types on special request.
