Adverse Conditions
Stramit Monoclad® cladding will give excellent durability in almost all locations. It is however important to choose the correct coating for each application environment. The table below shows the suitability of coating types for different exposure conditions.

Tables are based on testing to AS1562 and AS4040 parts 0, 2, and 3. Internal spans must have both end spans 20% shorter.
Values only valid for use with steel support members of 0.75mm or thicker.
Foot Traffic
Foot traffic limits for Stramit Monoclad® cladding are shown for three alternate foot traffic categories. These are:
High Maintenance - for applications with repeated maintenance, particularly where personnel may be unfamiliar with correct procedures for walking on metal roofs.
Normal - based on traditional expectations, with moderate maintenance foot traffic using designated foot paths.
Controlled - spans that conform to AS 1562 but require minimal careful foot traffic only on the designated foot path. Suggested for use only where occasional aesthetic imperfections from foot traffic are acceptable.
