B. Profile Matching:
1. SunSky 9 and 12 profiles were designed to closely match commonly used metal profiles. These profiles, produced by a few major
US suppliers, are manufactured with 5 and 4 main corrugations of 9" and 12" spacing respectively, with two minor corrugations in
between. Other panels, appearing to be similar, differ in small but important ways and an exact match may be difficult to achieve.
2. SunSky 12" profile will not fit closely over or under the older R-Panel, produced with one central minor corrugation.
3. Slight detail differences such as corrugation height, slant, wave distance etc. will hinder exact matching of such a panel with a
SunSky profile. This may lead to insufficient sealing, water leakage and forced installation, putting undue stresses on the SunSky
panel while trying to adapt it to an “almost similar” metal profile. Undue stress may lead to premature failure and void any
and all warranties.
4. A careful comparison will disclose whether a standard SunSky panel matches your metal profile.
C. Transportation, Handling & Storage:
1. Transport and store SunSky panels horizontally on flat, sturdy pallets, equal to or longer than the longest panels. Short panels should
be stacked on top of longer ones. The panels should be secured and fastened to the pallet during transportation.
2. Store SunSky panels in a cool and shaded place, out of direct sunlight. Avoid covering the stack of panels with dark or heat-
absorbing materials or objects, to prevent solar heat buildup.
3. When necessary to store panels outdoors, cover the stack with a white opaque polyethylene sheet, or another material that does not
absorb or conduct heat. Be sure that the entire stack is covered.
4. SunSky panels are tough, requiring no special care. However, we recommend some cautionary steps:
• Avoid stepping on the panel, driving over the panel, or folding the panel when handling and installing.
• Avoid dragging the panel on the ground, scraping it against the structural elements, or any other sharp or rough objects, to
prevent the panel from getting scratched.
Don't See a Match For Your Metal Profile?
Palram maintains the world's largest polycarbonate profile portfolio. If we don't have a profile that
matches yours, we can probably custom-match it using MetalMatch technology.
