Try Elevate’s Free Wind Calculator and Eliminate the Guesswork

 

The Elevate Wind Calculator is a free, project-based engineering tool designed mainly for commercial roofing contractors, consultants and specifiers. Its job is to help you figure out how wind will affect a specific roof system, and what you need to do to build it correctly.

Once you input project details (location, building height, exposure, etc.), the tool generates:

1. Wind pressure values

• Calculates expected uplift pressures across the roof (field, perimeter, corners)
• These values are used to determine how strong the system needs to be

2. Roof system recommendations

• Helps identify tested roof assemblies that can handle those pressures

3. Fastening patterns

• Provides specific fastening layouts (for mechanically attached systems)
• Ensures the roof meets manufacturer requirements

4. Downloadable report

• Creates a report you can:
  • Share with engineers
  • Use for submittals
  • Reference during installation

All of this is based on the data you enter, so accuracy matters.
