Do not over-tighten screws and ensure they are kept perpendicular to the sheet during installation.
For maximum protection from weather intrusion vertical sheets should be laid with the exposed edge of the overlaps away from the direction of the prevailing weather.
Horizontal or diagonal sheets must be laid with the exposed edge of the overlap at the bottom of each sheet. Horizontal or diagonal sheets will also require a suitable under flashing as some rainwater may run or be blown to the sheet ends.
WARNING - Do not use Stramit® wall sheeting & cladding as a roof sheet.
Installation of Stramit® walling is a straightforward procedure using the following fixing sequence:
- Ensure all girts or wall frame studs are in line, correctly installed and that lining materials (if specified) are in place.
- Position and fix the first sheet ensuring the correct sheet overhangs (minimum 50mm from the edge fastener).
- Continue to fix subsequent sheets checking that sheet ends at the lower edge are exactly aligned, and that sheets sit correctly so that the integral anti-capillary space is effective.
- Measure the overall cover width at top and bottom of the sheets from time to time to avoid 'fanning'.
- Stitch the sidelaps at midspan for wall spans exceeding that specified for each product.
- Install flashings.
- Clean up after each days work, removing all screws, cutting, swarf etc, and leave clean and watertight.
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, and soffits or eaves linings are such a situation.
