INSTALLATION GUIDELINES Important Notice: This guide must be read in its entirety before beginning installation. This guide is supplied by FABRAL, Inc. for use by its customers. This is intended to be a guide only, and does not replace or supercede local or state building codes. HORIZON S roofing must be applied on a minimum roof pitch of 3:12 or greater. FABRAL, Inc.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS Never use unsecured or partially installed panels as a working platform. Do not walk on panels until they are in place on the roof and all of the fasteners have been installed. Metal roofing panels are slippery when wet, dusty, frosty, or oily. Do not attempt to walk on a metal roof under these conditions. Wearing soft soled shoes will improve traction and minimize damage to the painted surface. Always be aware of your position on the roof relative to your surroundings.
ESTIMATING & ORDERING Step 1 A. Sketch a birds-eye view of the roof and label each section (see example below.) H F I D E G B C A B. Sketch a diagram of each roof section. Show all measurements (see example below.) It is important to measure the exact center of the ridge to the eave edge. Do not allow anything for overhang.
Step 2 With the information from the diagram you completed in Step 1, you are now ready to complete your roofing panel cut list. Each panel is 16” wide so the only measurement you need is the distance from the eave to the ridge. You can then determine the number of panels needed to cover the length from gable to gable. (See example Diagram A below.) DIAGRAM A 25' GABLE Section A 12' GABLE GABLE EAVE 12' GABLE RIDGE Section B EAVE 25' The length from the eave to the ridge is 12’.
ESTIMATING & ORDERING Step 2 (cont.) DIAGRAM 1A P HI Section A 30' RIDGE EY LL VA Section B GABLE EAVE 10' GABLE 40' 10' EAVE GABLE EAVE EAVE R ID GE 20' GABLE Start with section A. The eave length is 40’ and the ridge length is 30’, with a difference of 10’. You will need 23 pcs. X 10’ to reach the area where the hip starts. Remember that you have 10’ remaining to cover the area, or 8 more panels. Determine the length of each panel going into the valley by calculating the roof’s pitch.
SAMPLE D Section A 24 pcs. X 10’ 1 pc. X 8’-7” 1 pc. X 7’-2” 1 pc. X 5’-9” 1 pc. X 4’-4” 1 pc. X 2’-11” 1 pc. X 1’-6” 1 pc. X 1’-0” Step 3 Refer to the Home Legend of page 16 for trim placement. From this diagram, you can determine the names and placement of the trim needed. All trim is produced in 10’6” sections only. Remember to allow 6” of overlap on all trims. Use the estimating section to determine trim quantities. For applications of trims and flashings, see pages 17-26.
ESTIMATING & ORDERING Step 3 (cont.) A. Eave _____ ft ÷ 10** = _____ pcs. (WEF1 or WEF2 & WEF3 or WEF4) B. (Ridge _____ ft ÷ 10) *** + (Hip _____ ft ÷10) = _____ pcs (WRH3 or WRH5) C. Gable _____ ft ÷ 10 = _____ pcs (WGF4) D. Sidewall _____ ft ÷ 10 = _____ pcs (WSW4) E. Endwall _____ ft ÷ 10 = _____ pcs (WEW2) Pitch _________ F. Valley _____ ft ÷ 10 = _____ pcs (RV2 & WVC1) Pitch _________ G. Transition _____ ft ÷10 = _____ pcs (WTF1 & WVC1) Pitch from to ________ H.
Step 3 (cont.) When determining the number of fasteners needed, follow these GENERAL rules: 1. For every linear foot of roof panel ordered, you need 1 panel screw. 2. Remember, these are GENERAL rules; the actual amount may vary slightly for each different roof application. 3. At this point, your materials list for Diagram A on page 7 should look like Sample E below. SAMPLE E Section A 19 pcs. X 12’ Section B 19 pcs. X 12’ 5 pcs. Eave Trim 5/12p 3 pcs. Ridge Cap 5/12p 5 pcs. Gable Trim 600 pcs.
NEW ROOF APPLICATION 1. Make sure there are no nails or other objects protruding from the substrate that might puncture the underlayment or damage the roof panels. Clean all debris from the deck. RIDGE/PEAK CHIMNEY VALLEY ENDWALL PIPE PENETRATION TRANSITION SIDEWALL SKYLIGHT EAVE GABLE/RAKE HIP 2. Check all details for possible roof penetrations which must be added to the deck prior to roof panel installation (vented ridge for example). 3.
EXISTING ROOF APPLICATION In many cases, FABRAL’s HORIZON S Panels can be installed over existing roofing. Some jurisdictions will allow retrofit over certain types of roofing without tear-off of the old roofing. For best results, always use furring strips and 30 lb. felt paper over old shingles. Furring strips can be installed 12” o.c. with HORIZON S to provide adequate panel support and wall capability. Check with your local codes or building department for the specific requirements in your area.
