Description:
Nu-Vue U or Snap-On Roofing Panel is a factory formed, standing seam metal roof panel. The U panel & Snap-On roofing panel offers a straightforward installation with the appearance of a thin-line standing seam. The panel is available in a wide variety of materials and finishes including Kynar coated G-90 Galvanized Steel and Aluminum, Copper, and Zinc.
Method of Application:
1. A smooth, solid substrate of plywood, or a rigid
insulation board mechanically attached to a steel deck is
recommended for the Nu-Vue U & Snap On metal roof panel.
2. Nu-Vue U & Snap-On panels must be installed in a sequential
pattern.
3. Application of a Nu-Vue approved underlayment prior to
panel installation is recommended.
Storage:
1. Nu-Vue metal panels should be stored in a well ventilated, dry place where no moisture can contact them. Moisture (from rain, snow, condensation, etc.) trapped between layers of material may cause water stains or white rust, which can affect the service life of the material and will detract from its appearance.
2. If outdoor storage cannot be avoided, protect the panels with a ventilated canvas or waterproof paper cover. Do not use plastic, which can cause condensation. Keep the material off the ground in an inclined position with an insulator such as wood. Protective film may degrade or become brittle with long term exposure to direct sunlight.
Precautions:
1. Oil canning is not a cause for rejection.
2. Heavier gauges, narrower widths, striations, and
embossing minimize oil canning.
3. Sealant for end laps and lap joints shall be non-drying,
non-toxic, and non-shrinking with a serviceable temperature
of–60 to 212 oF (-51 to 100 oC).
4. Quality, long-life butyl sealants work best as a gasket
sandwiched between two pieces of metal. Non-acetic cured
silicone color matching sealants are recommended when
voids must be filled. Sealants are not a substitute for proper
assembly and workmanship.
5. Exercise caution when lifting, moving, transporting, storing or
handling Nu-Vue metal to avoid possible physical damage.
6. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for safety
information.
7. Immediately remove protective film after installation. |
