Handling of Material

When handling Mini-Corodek® care needs to be taken at all times to preserve the quality of the sheets surface. 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 Mini-Corodek® Wall Cladding

Mini-Corodek® wall cladding can be cut where necessary by using a circular saw with metal cutting blade, not an abrasive disk. When COLORBOND® sheeting is cut ensure the coloured surface is place downwards to lesson the likelihood of swarf (hot metal filings) being embedded in the exposed surface.

Location of Fasteners at Supports

Mini-Corodek® may be fastened to timber or steel supports by valley fixing. There should be 11 fixings per sheet at end supports at 6 fixings per sheet at intermediate supports.

Mini-Corodek® has a 2-corrugation lap similar to Corodek® and can be fixed with the small corrugations running either horizontally or vertically. If fixing horizontally start at the bottom of the wall so the upper sheet overlaps the one below it.

If it is necessary to have end laps due to excessively long runs, please allow maximum end laps of 100mm and seal the end laps with suitable sealant. (If the sheets are fixed in an external application where sealing is required.) Always face side laps away from the direction of the prevailing weather.

Fasteners

Softwood & Hardwood Timber Supports
Ripple – Teks (Type 17) 10 – 16 x 30mm
Steel Supports up to 1.2mm thick
Ripple – Teks 10 – 16 x 20mm

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 sheeting. Failure to do this may result in premature corrosion of the sheeting.
