Use And Care Manual
Where does my second panel get placed?
Whether you are using exposed or hidden fastener panels, the next panel
should overlap the previous panel and be ush at the eaves end of the panel.
Where do fasteners go on the next panel installed?
On exposed fastener panels the overlap should
always be fastened top to bottom to ensure a good
lap of the panels. Properly seated lap prevents any
leakage from capillary action.
What if my panels are not lapped correct?
A panel that is overlapped too much will cast shadow lines that will be noticed
to the point where you can see every panel lap on the roof. A panel that is not
lapped enough could show light through the lap. Both cases could result in a
leak or aesthetic appearance problems.
What about the Hidden Fastener panel lap?
Install your rst panel square on your roof. Then while making sure panels are
ush at the eaves edge, lightly compress and snap panels together at the seam.
Snap the panels from eaves to ridge. Fasteners should not be spaced more
than 36" o.c. in the fastening ange. The eaves also need to be fastened
between the ribs. Three common methods are:
1) 2 residential roong screws evenly spaced between the Ribs at the Eaves.
2) Steel Roof Edge fastened one foot on center with a 1" pancake head
screw and Tape Mastic applied to the Roof Edge.
3) 1/8” x 1/4” Pop rivets can be used in place of screws listed above for a more
concealed look. Use touch up paint to color match the pop rivets as well as sealing the
inside of the pop rivet.
