This winter has seen some particularly strong winds battering the UK, especially in the north of the country. This has caused significant damage, especially to the nation’s roofs. Widely reported examples include the Ikea building in Ashton-under-Lyne, which suffered damage to its cladding, and the Cardiff City Stadium where fire crews had to be called out to secure the roof before a scheduled match could take place. For commercial buildings this kind of damage can cost you a fortune in lost business, as well as the price of the repairs. This means it is vitally important to do everything you can to keep your building secure from wind.

Protect your building from the roof down

With incidences of extreme wind seemingly on the increase in recent years, businesses need to carefully consider the materials they use in their buildings to give themselves the best possible protection. When high winds hit, roofs are often one of the main areas where damage occurs. For this reason, a wind proof roof is an investment well worth thinking about, especially in coastal regions which usually experience the worst conditions. Any damage to your roof can expose the rest of your building to the elements, allowing the situation to escalate and resulting in even more severe damage.
