Durability

MODULAIRE® Enclosures are weatherproof. They are pre-engineered to meet maximum wind and snow loads in North America. Fiberglass panels will not rust, rot, mildew or ever need painting. They are chemical-, UV- and insect-resistant and meet Uniform Building Codes for flash ignition temperature as well as flame spread and smoke development for construction materials.

 
A weather-tight roof is achieved by applying 3" wide waterproof butyl adhesive seam sealing tape to all joints on the roof of the building. The tape is then coated with a second layer of protection—a u.v. resistant, elastomeric silicone coating is applied by brush over the sealing tape.

 

Pre-Engineered: Our product has been reviewed and analyzed by a third party engineer. The building system is rated for the maximum wind and snow loads in North America. The engineering data is available, in booklet form, as required when a building is purchased. However engineer stamped drawings are a value added option and estimates for such a requirement can be given on a per job basis.

Flash Ignition Temperature: Approved plastic materials are those having a self ignition temperature of 343 degrees Celsius or greater as determined in accordance with U.B.C. Standard 26-6. A sample panel was tested at Underwriters Laboratories Inc. The results showed a minimum flash ignition of 400 degrees Celsius which meets the U.B.C. requirement.

Flame Spread and Smoke Development: U.B.C. requires a smoke density rating not greater than 450 when tested in accordance to U.B.C. Standard 8-1. Test ASTM E 84-94 was performed. This test is the standard method of testing for surface burning characteristics of building materials. The results showed a smoke development of 186 and flame spread of 44. This meets U.B.C. requirements for materials used in construction.
