Length

We can supply Trimclad® sheeting up to a maximum length of 35 meters depending on availability of delivery. Lengths to be manufactured need to be site measurements, not those taken off plans. The required sheet length is obtained by measuring the distance from the ridges to external edges, or fascia and adding 50mm for overhang into gutter. Length tolerance on Trimclad is ± 10mm.

When longer lengths or large volumes are ordered, to ensure prompt delivery please ensure that suitable arrangements have been made to assist in unloading your trucks. To prevent damage when unloading and moving long lengths please ensure that the load is spread.

Handling of Material

When handling Trimclad® 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.

Walking on Roof Sheeting

When walking on Trimclad® roof sheeting always wear flat rubber soled shoes and endeavour to walk over areas where you have purlin or batten supports. The specified walking path on Trimclad® is either pan next to the lapped edge ribs.

Cleanup


Prior to departing the work site each day please take care to remove all foreign debris, screws, rivets and especially any swarf (the debris or waste resulting from metalworking operation) 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® Trimclad® roof sheeting. As these products are inert materials drainage from this type of roof should not be allowed to discharge into Galvanised rainwater goods. Drainage from copper roofs onto Galvanised, ZINCALUME® or COLORBOND® roofing or rainwater should not be allowed. Each of the combinations listed above can cause premature corrosion.

Other Materials


Trimclad® roof sheeting can be roll formed to order in Galvanised, ZINCALUME® or the standard range of 12 COLORBOND® colours. Some branches may keep more than the standard 12 colours in the range. Please enquire at your local branch as to lead-time and availability.

Harsh Environments


If you intend to use Trimclad® roof sheeting or walling within 1km of Industrial, Salt marine or unusually corrosive environments please do not hesitate to contact us for advice on the best product use.

Suggested Specification

You can help us to supply you with material in good order by ensuring that you have made suitable arrangements to have our trucks unloaded.

Where a crane cannot be made available it is the customers responsibility to provide sufficient labour to assist the driver in unloading.
