BAN wind bracing strips can be used in various construction applications, but they are primarily intended for stiffening roof structures, where they serve as tension members.

Corrosion protection: 275 g/m² on both sides - corresponding to a zinc coating thickness of approximately 20 μm. BAN154025 and BAN154050 are made from the higher load-bearing S350GD steel; zinc coating thickness approximately 20 μm. BAN094050 is made from S550GD + Z275.

Attachment options: Connection to wood is made using CNA4.0xℓ comb nails or CSA5.0xℓ screws. The connection to the Simpson Strong-Tie wind bracing system is made with clips or M5x12 screws (strength 8.8).

Advantages: The versions BAN154025, BAN154050, BAN156050, BAN204025, and BAN204050 are equipped with a meter marking from 0.5 to 25 m, or 50 m.

Note: For higher loads, multiple strips can be installed side by side. In these cases, BNSP tensioning devices are recommended to ensure even tensioning of the strips. It must also be checked whether sufficient comb nails can be installed in the wind bracing strip, considering the required edge distances, given the current rafter width. Otherwise, the rafter must be widened with additional timber, or the wind bracing strip must be connected to the wind stiffening system.

Application: Versatile use in construction, specifically for stiffening roof structures. Since the wind bracing strip can only absorb tensile forces, at least two diagonally opposing strips must be used per area.

Fastening: Comb nails CNA4.0xl or screws CSA5.0xl. Also available in stainless steel (upon request). EN 14545.
