The ASTERIX roof is a lightweight, modular temporary roofing system, utilising multi-purpose aluminium beams. There are two variants to the Asterix beam – ASTERIX, which is 75cm deep and can be joined to other 75cm deep beams on the market and ASTERIX HD 133cm deep, the strongest scaffold fitting friendly beam available. Virtually all projects involving the use of banks of 4 or more beams will be more cost effective on a first use by using ASTERIX HD beams.

The ASTERIX beam ranges offer unrivalled strength capability and are compatible with tube and fittings and/or modular system scaffolds. DESSA roofing systems utilise a high capacity aluminium structure and PVC sheeting depths, offering unrivalled span versus cost solution for your temporary roofing requirements. Components are multipurpose and are fully compatible with tube and fittings and all modular system scaffolds in a variety of applications including freestanding shelters, temporary buildings, railways, building encapsulations, site protection, archaeological digs, rock concerts and events.
