Need help choosing the right Bjarnes System solution?
Choosing the right Bjarnes System product is not only about picking a clip. It is about matching roof type, seam type, substrate, insulation build-up, movement requirement and exposure conditions to the real project. That is where our team can help you narrow the choice before installation starts.
If you are comparing clips, Krabban solutions, tools or roof details for a standing seam project, we can help you assess movement capacity, corrosion demands, fastening method and practical installation conditions. That gives you a solution that is safer to specify, easier to install and better suited to the roof over time.
How do I choose between different Bjarnes System clips?
Start with the roof build-up, seam type and substrate. The right Bjarnes System clip depends on whether the installation is direct to substrate or part of an insulated roof construction, and whether the application needs fixed or sliding movement behaviour. That first distinction usually decides the right product family much faster.
When is Krabban the better choice?
Krabban is the better route when the project involves exterior insulated roofs and the fastening needs to work with that roof build-up rather than a more traditional direct-to-substrate clip solution. It is especially relevant where the construction needs a fastening principle adapted to insulated board, roofing felt or comparable insulated roof conditions.
What is the difference between fixed clips and sliding clips?
Fixed clips are used where the sheet should be held in position, while sliding clips are used where the roofing needs room to move longitudinally. On standing seam roofs, that distinction matters because thermal movement is part of the real roof behaviour, and the fastening choice has to support that movement instead of fighting it.
Why does movement matter so much in standing seam roofing?
It matters because sheet metal expands and contracts with temperature changes, and that movement has to be handled correctly in the fastening system and the roof details. If there is not enough room for movement, the roof can be put under unnecessary stress and the detailing becomes harder to get right.
Can Bjarnes System help with clip solutions for insulated roofs?
Yes. Bjarnes System includes solutions specifically developed for insulated roof applications, not only for direct fastening to substrate. That makes it easier to choose a system that matches the roof build-up instead of trying to force a standard clip into a more complex insulated construction.
What should I consider before choosing material and corrosion level?
You should consider the roof environment, the surrounding materials and the long-term exposure conditions. Corrosion class is not a secondary detail in roofing applications, because moisture, condensation, coastal air and other project conditions can have a major impact on which clip and fastening combination is the safer long-term choice.
Do you only offer clips, or also tools and related roof products?
Bjarnes System covers more than clips alone. The range also includes Krabban, installation tools, gutter brackets, Chaner, banded sliding clips and Clipdriver DF, which makes the page useful when you need both the fastening principle and the supporting products around the roof installation.
Can you help us choose the right solution before the roof design is final?
Yes. That is often the best stage to involve us, because the right solution depends on roof geometry, seam type, substrate, insulation, movement zones and installation method. Early guidance reduces the risk of specifying a fastening setup that becomes harder, slower or less suitable once the roof is being built.
