At Onninen we provide professional advice in selecting optimal solutions.   Our many years of experience allow us to recommend proven configurations tailored to specific objects . We often come across questions about the selection of brackets for various roof coverings. In such cases, we always analyze the specifics of a given project.

We recently delivered horizontal air terminal elements for a large shopping mall. The client needed a solution that combined effective protection with aesthetics. We proposed a system based on spacer brackets and connectors hidden under the roof covering. This allowed the building's visual values to be preserved while maintaining full safety.

When modernizing older buildings, we often recommend using universal tensioning brackets. They allow for easy adjustment of the installation to the existing roof structure.   Our experience shows that flexibility of assembly is key in renovations . It allows for quick and effective execution of work without interfering with the structure of the building.

We often hear questions about the correct placement of air terminals on the roof.   It is crucial to maintain appropriate spacing and create a closed protective grid . For complex roof shapes, we recommend using specialist design software. It allows for precise definition of protective zones.

In everyday practice, we see how important the quality of connections between elements is. That is why our offer includes high-quality connectors and terminals. They provide durable and reliable electrical connections. This is particularly important in the case of installations exposed to strong winds or snow loads.

Onninen recommends using adhesive masses for additional securing of the brackets. This increases the stability of the installation and prevents damage to the roof covering.   Our experience shows that proper gluing of elements significantly extends the life of the installation . This is especially important in the case of flat roofs covered with membranes.

Many customers ask us about the possibilities of aesthetically hiding the elements of air terminals. In such situations, we recommend using special flush-mounted brackets. They allow you to mask the cables while maintaining full functionality of the system. This is a popular solution for buildings with high architectural values.

In the case of reorganizing installations on existing facilities, we most often use universal brackets. Their design allows for easy adjustment to different types of roof coverings and roof shapes.   Installation flexibility is key in modernization projects, where non-standard solutions are often encountered .
