Are there INSTALLATION specifications?
The MINIMUM roof slope recommended is 3 inches of rise per foot (3:12 pitch). All 36″ coverage panels are based on 38″ sheet widths (coverage width +/- 1/8″ tolerance). This ensures that sufficient slope is present for adequate drainage. A quality sealant tape can also be applied at all sidelaps and endlaps to provide maximum weather protection. The recommended industry standard endlap based on the roof slope is as follows: (1) under 4 inches of rise…..9 inches of lap (2) 4 – 6 inches of rise…..6 inches of lap. To provide a drip edge at the eave, a minimum of three inches of overhang is recommended. It is important to remember that in the installation of roof sheets, the sidelaps should face away from the direction of the prevailing wind. The first sheet should be installed square with the eave and at the down-wind end of the roof, farthest from the direction of the wind. NOTE: PANELS ARE NOT SYMMETRICAL SIDE TO SIDE; OBSERVE CORRECT SIDELAP PROCEDURE FOR EACH PANEL PROFILE. Rememb
