BAN wind bracing bands can be used versatilely for construction applications, but they are primarily intended for stiffening roof structures, where they are employed as tension rods.

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 is approximately 20 μm. BAN094050 is made from S550GD + Z275.

Attachment options: Connection to wood is done using CNA4.0xℓ comb nails or CSA5.0xℓ screws. 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 larger loads, multiple bands can be installed side by side. In these cases, BNSP tensioning devices are recommended to ensure even tensioning of the bands. It must also be checked whether, given the current rafter width, enough comb nails can be inserted into the wind bracing band while considering the required edge distances. Otherwise, the rafter must be widened with auxiliary wood, or the wind bracing band must be connected to the wind stiffening system.

The BAN09 wind bracing bands can be used for stiffening wooden and roof structures. The new BAN094050 is very lightweight with an output thickness of 0.9 mm and is also easy to handle. The development focused on this innovative hole type, called "Strong Holes." These holes are not punched but created by displacing the material. This production method ensures that the load-bearing capacity does not need to be reduced compared to bands with punched holes.

Attachment: Comb nails CNA4.0xl or screws CSA5.0xl.

Product advantages: significant weight reduction; thus providing substantial benefits.
