  Install, Maintain : Speed Deck Ultra®

Speed Deck Ultra®
Speed Deck Ultra® decking is readily installed with or without fibreglass insulation blanket. If practical lay sheets in the opposite direction to prevailing weather.

Installation of Speed Deck Ultra® decking is a straight forward procedure using the following fixing sequence:
  1. Ensure all purlins are in line and correctly installed. Using a string line or the edge of the first sheet, align the first row of fixing clips. Screw the clips to the purlins in the same order as the direction of laying.
  2. Locate the first sheet over the clips with the correct projection at each end of the sheet. Snap each rib on to the clip at every purlin, always in the order of the direction of laying. Note - Do not use undue force; the deck will easily accommodate clip entry.

    Snap ribs on to clip in order - 1-2-3

  3. Hinge next clip about trailing edge of the first sheet, allowing it to fall to the purlin. Ensure correct fitting to the deck edge and that it is sitting on the extended tail of the preceding clip. Align fixing holes together then fasten clip to purlin as before.
  4. Continue to lay sheets as before. From time to time measure coverage of sheets at ridge and eaves to maintain squareness.
  5. At end of purlin cut fixing (and, if necessary, the roof sheet) to suit.
  6. Turn up ends of sheet at ridge and turn down eaves ends into gutters using the Speed Deck Ultra® decking turn up/down tool.
  7. Secure leading and trailing edge of the roof with a full or cut-back clip, or sealed fasteners through the roof tray, at every purln. Cover these with side flashings. Install all flashings as required to weatherproof and complete the roof.
  8. Clean the roof after each day's work, removing all screws, cuttings, swarf etc, and leave roof clean and watertight. Repair any minor blemishes in colour coated finishes with Stramit supplied touch-up paint.
Each clip box has an illustration of the basic clip fixing technique. A more detailed 'Install Procedure' leaflet (with clear illustrations) is available to assist fixers on site.

Maintenance
Exterior surfaces of metal products unwashed by rain can benefit from occasional washing to remove build-up of corrosive salts. Walls beneath eaves or awnings are such a situation.
