Sigma Secura Check

Load types and the effect of weather conditions on wooden windows and external wooden doors (on the windward side).

Please establish first the effect of the weather conditions and the load range which will affect the wooden elements after they have been built up. The load is primarily affected by the manner of windows placement, the size of roof outreach and the building location. Subsequently please include the built up wooden elements in one of the five load groups.

the manner of window placement the size of roof outreach ground floor,
first to third floor
detached house
or on a slope
or above
the third floor
a mountainous region
or the seaside

  5 years or more (highly recommended) 2 to 2.5 years (still recommended) much less than 2 years (unacceptable according to the ift guidelines)
