Length


Metroll can supply Metroclad® 850 COLORBOND® or ZINCALUME® sheeting up to a maximum length of 6 metres. Longer lengths may be possible to be supplied, subject to arrangement with your local Metroll office. Lengths ordered to be manufactured need to be site measurements, not those taken off plans. Length tolerance on Metroclad® 850 is ± 10mm. Width tolerance on Metroclad® 850 is ± 5mm.

Handling of Material


When handling Metroclad® 850 care should be taken at all times to preserve the quality of the finish. Packs should be kept dry and stored above ground level whilst on site. If however the sheets do become wet they should be separated, wiped and placed in the open to dry.

Cutting


Metroclad® 850 wall cladding can be cut where necessary by using a circular saw with a metal cutting blade, not an abrasive disc, power shears or nibblers are also suitable. When you cut COLORBOND® sheeting ensure the coloured surface is placed downwards to lessen the likelihood of swarf (hot metal filings) being embedded in the exposed surface.

Cleanup


Prior to departing the work site each day please take care to remove all foreign debris, screws, rivets and especially any swarf from drilling or cutting from the roof surface or from inside the gutters. Failure to do this may result in premature corrosion of the roof or gutter system.

Compatibility


Never use lead flashings with ZINCALUME® or COLORBOND® Metroclad® 850 wall cladding.
