I. Installation Comments (Rooﬁng & Siding):

1. Single Panel Run Installation: The length (long side) outermost crests of a SunSky panel should lap over matching adjacent crests

of metal panels on both sides.

2. Multi-Panel Run Installation: The middle SunSky panels should be installed with the regular under/over length overlap (the short

crest edge on top of a longer one). The outermost SunSky panels on both length sides will lap over the adjacent matching metal

panels, as in a single panel run, unless designed otherwise.

Important! Whenever the extreme side-laps of a skylight or side light side-laps are installed on top of the adjoining metal panels,

the overlapping metal panel(s) above the opening should also be installed the same.

3. Framed Independent Side Light Installation: An installation method for side lights, requiring framing for the apertures in the

siding. Frame details enable installation of any SunSky proﬁle, independent of the surrounding wall cladding.

Aluminum proﬁle framing is very suitable, relatively inexpensive, and available in a wide variety of shapes, and is easy to work with

(Custom shapes are available with minimum quantity requirements). Fabricated zinc plated, painted or stainless steel sheet are

possible options, moderately priced and easy to fabricate. Wood framing is also possible, especially for small-scale and DIY jobs.

Typically, the designs of these structures are more simple to build, and requires only basic everyday tools.

4. Side-lap Support: At side-laps where the SunSky edge corrugation has to be installed under the corrugation of the adjoining metal

panel, or in SunSky on SunSky side-laps (multi-panel runs) length support proﬁles, of metal or wood, are recommended. Such length

supports ensures better side seal and rigid installation. (See Fig. 17, 32)

Support details should suit the SunSky proﬁle used.
