INSTALLATION
Correct installation of Romalite PVC begins with placing the sheets in position and pre-drilling* of a 10mm oversize hole. Paint purlin tops white as this reflects the heat off the purlin. Lay sheet laps away from the prevailing wind crest fix on a roof installation.
Fix sheets at every fourth corrugation and at every second corrugation at the ridge, gutter and overlaps.
*TIP: Multipurpose fasteners do not require you to pre-drill the holes.
Roof Installations
Fix to crest of Romalite corrugations using 14 x 55mm Alsynite Multipurpose Fasteners and 21mm weather seal washer.
Wall Installations
Fix to valley of Romalite corrugations using 12 x 55mm Alsynite Timbertite and 21mm weather seal washer.
Refer to detailed installation guide below.
● The roof should have a minimum pitch of 5°
● Fix on every second corrugation on top and bottom purlin and every third corrugation on the other purlins.
● Purlins should be no further than 900mm apart (closer in high wind zones) and we recommend painting them white to maximum sheet life. Darker coloured purlins are not recommended as it can burn the sheet.
● Select the sheet length from the standard lengths available
● Ensure appropriate tools are used to install the sheeting
● Roof sheeting must be fixed using Alsynite Multipurpose 14g x 50mm fasteners
● Ensure lapping edge faces away from the prevailing wind
● When used as cladding or fencing use Alsynite TImbertite 12g x 25mm fasteners
