Substructure:

Panel is designed to be utilized over open structural framing, but can easily be used over solid substrate. To avoid panel distortion, use a properly aligned and uniform substructure.

Coverage:

Each panel has a coverage width of 36"

Length:

Lengths under 5'-0" are available with some cutting restrictions.  Maximum recommended panel length is 45'-0". Longer panels require additional consideration in packaging, shipping, and erection.

Materials and Paint
Materials

Unpainted materials shall conform to ASTM A792 Acrylic Coated Galvalume® (ACG) coating consisting of 55% aluminum, 1.6% silicon and the balance zinc by weight (AZ55).  Yield strength will vary by panel profile and gauge (Inquire for specific minimum yield strength). (Differential appearance of Acrylic Coated Galvalume roofing materials is not a cause for rejection).

Painted material shall conform to conform to ASTM A446 (or A653) and be hot dipped galvanized with a substrate coating as per ASTM A525 (0r A924), OR Galvalume® conforming to ASTM A792 with a AZ50 coating.  Yield strength will vary by panel profile and gauge.  (Inquire for specific minimum yield strength.)

Paint Systems

We use high quality paint systems designed to provide long term performance and protection.  Each coating is formulated with thoroughly researched, tested, and field proven pretreatments, primers, resins, and pigments that can meet your design and performance requirements.

PVDF (Fluorocarbon)
This paint system combines ceramic pigmentation with polyvinyidene fluoride for a superior, long-lasting performance.  PVDF finishes are respected for their durability, resistance to chalking and fading, chemical resistance and color retention.  Please note: PVDF finishes meet both Kynar  500 and Hylar 5000 specifications; Kynar and Hylar are produced under license from Elf Atochem North America, Inc. and Ausimont, respectively.

Colorfast 25
This is a thermoset coating system composed of polyester resin which has been modified with a silicone resin.  Much like the PVDF finishes, the Colorfast 25 finishes offer good protection to the elements with special consideration to chalk and fade resistance, durability and chemical resistance.

Touch-Up Paint
Touch-paint is used to cover and protect unexpected scratches on the the paint finish that may occur during installation of the panel.  Touch-up paint will not weather as well or at the same rare as the original coating or finish. When applying, use in small inconspicuous and separate areas.  Test in an area that will not be noticeable.

Metallic Colors
Minor differences in color and appearance are normal and to be expected with metallic coatings, as it is impossible to match one metallic coating to another.  A phenomenon known as "metallic color flop" occurs when there is a difference in  alignment in the planes of metallic pigments; this will result in a different visual appearance.  Due to the coil application process, striations and longitudinal patterning may also show in these products.  To minimize the possible visual effect of the normal minor differences in paint and it's application, an entire job should be painted at one time, from one batch of paint at one coater using the same application equipment.  Additionally, fabricated panels, flat sheet and and flashings, manufactured from from coil  coated materials should be oriented in the same direction for installation.
