The Galeco Upper Wind Brace is designed for roofing contractors and DIY enthusiasts installing the Galeco BROSA Modular Metal Roof Tile system who need a professional, long-term solution for edge protection. Its primary benefit is the structural reinforcement it provides against wind uplift while delivering a clean, finished aesthetic to the roofline; however, users should note it is specifically engineered for the BROSA system and may not be compatible with other roofing profiles.

No, this profile is specifically engineered for the dimensions and locking mechanisms of the Galeco BROSA Modular Metal Roof Tile system.
Yes, it can be trimmed using professional metal-cutting shears or a fine-tooth metal saw. Always treat cut edges with touch-up paint to prevent rust.
The finish is Dark Graphite Semi Matt, which is designed to match the BROSA system color profile.
Divide the total linear length of your roof edges by 2 meters (accounting for a slight overlap for water-tightness) and round up to the nearest whole number.
It is recommended to inspect the integrity of the brace and its fasteners at least once a year, preferably after the winter season.
Ensure the underlying BROSA modular tiles are locked correctly into the starting batten before positioning the brace.
Check if the roof structure is plumb; if minor gaps persist, use a professional-grade exterior sealant compatible with metal roofing.
To install the 2000mm wind brace, ensure your roof battens are leveled and the BROSA tiles are secured according to the manufacturer's manual. The brace should be fixed using compatible, corrosion-resistant screws to prevent galvanic corrosion. For care, avoid using abrasive cleaning agents; simply wash with mild soap and water annually to remove debris. Always inspect the fastening points after severe weather events to ensure no screws have loosened due to thermal expansion or mechanical stress.
