Polycarbonate Sheeting Installation Guidelines
Remember to add our "winged" screws and BAZ washers to your polycarbonate sheeting order.
Wings on the screw drill holes bigger than the fastener so no pre-drilling is required making your job so much easier!
BAZ washers seal perfectly thus avoiding any potential leaks.
Drill hole in sheet 3 mm BIGGER than fastener, prior to fixing OR use a winged selfdrill screw for fastening (ask our sales department to add this to your quote)
Beware of oblique fastening and/or over tightening
Apply sheets with UV coating facing upwards
Peel off any labels immediately after installation
Correct class rating fasteners must be adhered to in harsh environments to ensure long lasting roofs
Overlap with minimum of one profile
Sheets may be cut with shears, an angle grinder or even a fine toothed saw blade will do
For roof laying start with lower sheets first, keep side laps away from wind
Allow overhang of <100mm
Never walk on sheets, use a board placed across at least 3 rafters to spread the load
Polycarbonate Sheeting Handling & Storage
Store sheets on flat surface in well protected dry area
Direct sunlight could cause distortion
Remove traces of lubricant from metal sheets prior to assembly
Avoid contact with chemicals, paints, solvents and sealants (especially silicone) as many of these are incompatible with Polycarbonate - test surface area first
Clean with warm water (mild detergent) and a soft sponge
Scrub down with a soft brush
Hose down thoroughly
