IMPORTANT INFORMATIONPrior to placing any orders, on site measurements need to be taken to verify the actual measurements.This installation manual is designed to be used as a guide when installing specific metal panels. It is theresponsibility of the installer/contractor to ensure the safe installation of this metal roofing system.The drawings and depictions are for the purpose of illustration only and may not be applied to every productline or building design. All of the products installed should meet or exceed applicable building codes for thearea of installation. We recommend following all building regulations and industry best practices.Metal Exteriors LLC is not to be responsible for the performance of the roofing system when it is not installedaccording to the instructions outlined in this installation manual. If there is any conflict between this manualand the actual construction drawings, the construction drawings should take precedence.Metal Exteriors LLC reserves the right to modify, without notice, any details, recommendations or suggestions.Any questions you may have regarding proper installation of the roofing system should be directed to your MetalExterior’s Sales Representative.SAFETYAlways use extreme caution when installing any metal panels.Do not use roofing panels as a walking platform, as the panels are not designed to withstand a greatdeal of weight placed on an edge of the panel. Never stand on a panel before it is fully secured andremember that the panel can be very slippery under certain conditions. We recommend that theinstallation of metal roofing and siding be supervised by a knowledgeable professional.HANDLING MATERIALWhen handling painted metal panels, care should be taken to not drop, scratch, or drag panels across theground, any rough surface, or another panel. We recommend wearing clean gloves whenever handling or cuttingmetal materials. Soft rubber soled shoes will help ensure proper grip and keep the panels from scuffing.Great caution needs to be taken when handling panels in windy conditions, especially when wind speeds exceed10 mph, due to the kite-like effect of the panel. We recommend trained professionals oversee any weather orjobsite conditions that may become a working hazard.Always carry panels by the edge so the panels are held vertical to the ground. Never carry the panels horizontallywith the ground, as this may result in buckling of the panel.While in most cases a single person can handle a panel of up to 8’ in length, we recommend that additionalpeople be placed every 10’ along the entirety of the panel on larger panels.Effective 8/18Subject to change without notice3

DELIVERING MATERIALThe installer is responsible for unloading material from the delivery truck and having the proper equipment tounload the delivery.Each metal order is delivered by trained professionals.Each load should always be checked by the installer with the driver present to check for damages that may haveoccurred while the metal has been delivered or unloaded. If the order has damaged pieces of metal or property,the installer should contact Metal Exteriors as soon as possible.MECHANICAL UNLOADINGCrane: When panels are greater than 24’ in length, a crane should be used. To evenly distribute the weight ofthe bundle, spreader bars must be used. Never let more than 1/4 of the crate be lifted without support. Neveruse chains to unload crates, always use a soft rope or strap.Forklift: If panels do not exceed 24’ in length, a forklift can usually be used to unload materials from the truck.Ensure the forks are at maximum separation. Avoid any rough terrain.DESIGN CONSIDERATIONSAlways check with an Engineer/Local Building Codes, before installation for any codes that apply to the area ofinstallation.Metal Exteriors has designed their metal panels to be installed over open framing or directly over a plywood/OSB substrate 30# or equal UDL moisture barrier. An ice guard may be required (check your Local BuildingCodes) in some instances.Installing either a new or existing roof, the installer should check if roof deck is square before installing anymetal panels.Always have an authorized contractor inspect the roof of an existing wooden substrate, for any inferior detailssuch as rot, sagging, or possible structural failure. Before installation, make sure all nails, staples or protrudinghardware are removed from existing roof.Never let Galvalume panels come into contact with any water runoff from copper, lead, or uncoated steelmaterials.4Subject to change without noticeEffective 8/18

FASTENING AND CLOSURE APPLICATIONSSCREWS:It is recommended to use a plated or painted screw, Type A or driller tip with a flat rubber washer, when usingscrews as a fastener. Using a screw gun with the appropriate speed and torque settings will help prevent possibledamage to the panel and fastener head. Typically 80 screws are used per square for 36” Parallel Rib Panels.36"0.969"Parallel Rib Outside Foam Closure36"0.969"Parallel Rib Inside Foam Closure36"0.969"Elite Rib Outside Foam Closure36"0.969"Elite Rib Inside Foam Closure1.5" Metal-to-Wood Screw - 250 Ct.

FIELD CUTTING AND TOUCH UPSaftey glasses must be worn at all times while cutting metal panels.For cutting the metal in the field, tin snips or electric nibblers are recommended. Cutting the steel causes“slivers” or small metal particles to collect on the edge of the metal panel. Remove these immediately as they willcause damage to the finish and shorten the life of the product.TOUCHING UP PANELS WITH PAINTA factory baked on finish has been applied to the painted panels and trim components, some handling andinstalling of these product may result in minor nicks or scratches to the painted finish. Matching touch up paintfrom Metal Exteriors is available. Use a small brush to apply touch up paint, a few coats may be needed in somesituations.VENTILATIONTo prevent condensation from forming on the under inside of the roof, the use of vapor barriers and ventedclosures are necessary. Condensation occurs when moisture laden air comes in contact with a surface that has atemperature equal or below the dew point of the air. This can cause several potential issues, all of which can beavoided with the proper ventilation products and techniques.It is recommended that you discuss the proper product to use with your Metal Exterior’s Sales Representative.ACCESSORIES6Emseal Expanding FoamFlex-O-VentCaulk TapeRoof BootSubject to change without noticeEffective 8/18
