Installation of Panels
Roof Pitch
Gulf Coast roofing panels require a certain degree of pitchao ensure proper water drainage.
Florida Building Code allows_a minimum pitch of 2/12 for Taff --rib® panels as long•as lap screws
and_sealant are applied to -the laps -to prevent water from.siphoning_over the -ribs (see Fig. 5 on p. 4).
Lap screws and sealant are optional when the,pitch is 4/12 or, greater (4/12 pitch means that there is 4
inches of rise for'every 12 inches running horizontally). As a general principle, the less steep the roof,
and the more necessary also that sealant be used at all side -laps. `'Consult our representative for
recommendations for your particular roof pitch, and about roofing options if you have less than a 2/12
pitch. '
Roof Preparation
Oil -canning is a wave -like, rippled appearance extending up the length of the panel after ithas
been installed on, the roof. Any irregularities in the roof, including uneven plywood joints, warped" .
plywood, uneven trusses, poor application, of underlayment, the use. of button caps with felt paper, etc.,
can promote oil -canning. Care should be taken, to provide a flat, uniform surface on which to attach
the panels. Seepage 6 for more details'.'
Roof Application
Panel installation should begin at the gable end of the roof opposite the prevailing rain -bearing
wind (this will provide added assurance against wind -driven rain being forced under the laps). Measure
one panel width in from the roof edge. At this point chalk a line from ridge to eave. Place the leading
edge of the fast panel along this line. It' is extremely important that this panel be laid square to the eave
and ridge so that the remaining panels will line up square on the roof frame. It is wise to have a person
at the eave and at the ridge to ensure that the proper panel coverage is being maintained across the roof.
Also be sure that the panels gre properly side -lapped (see fig. 7 on page 7).
In applications where end -lapping is necessary, the upper panel on the slope should lap over the
panel that is lower on the slope by about 12 inches. Lesser roof pitches require a greater amount of
panel' overlap. All end -lap applications should use two horizontal rows of butyl sealant tape across the
'panel and proper fastening to provide a maximum water seal.
An overhang of 2 to 3 inches on the eave is recommended to provide a drip edge, while only 1
inch overhang is necessary where gutters are used. The open panel ribs at the eave can be sealed with
inside closures. For maximum„weather-tightness, a row of butyl tape can be applied above and beneath
closure material.
Trimming and Cutting Steel Panels
The best device for cutting steel panels across, the profile is either hand snips or a nibbler.
Nibblers, and especially Carbomndum blades on electric saws, however, do have a tendency to either
leave hot metal particles that can burn paint surfaces or to leave rust marks on panels and trim. The
same is true of any filings left on the roof caused by,the application of screws. Care should be taken to
brush all such particles from roof surfaces after application.
To cut panels lengthwise: Note carefully where the panel is to be cut, and, using a straightedge,
score, deeply down the length of the.panel with a sharp -pointed utility knife. Folding the panel along the
score marki.and bending back again,if necessary, should produce a clean break in the panel.
_
CAUTION! clean all metal shavings and particles off of roof to avoid unsightly rust stains'

OrderingOrdering Roof Panels and Screws
Care should be taken to order panels of the correct length to avoid having to make
corrective measures after purchase. Panel lengths should fall 2 to 3 inches short of the ridge when
a vented ridge is desired, and should extend 2 to 3 inches past the cave to allow a sufficient drip
edge (except as noted on pg. 3 concerning gutters). When a roof transition is involved; panels of
the upper portion should be ordered short to allow ,placement of the transition flashing (see .
diagram on p. 10). The Gulf Coast sales personnel are ready. to assist customers with information
specific to their particular roof.
Specially-washered screws applied through'the flat of the metal is the most recommended
method used to attach roofing panels. 1-inch screws can be used if penetration of only'/4 inch is
either'necessary or desired; otherwise, 1'/z'inch'screws are usually'recommended. 2%z inch screws
are' also available, and are often used by those who adhere to through -the -rib fa•stening,' and for '
ridge -cap application. See pages 6 and 7 for morerm infoation on screw spacing and ordering.
Ordering and, Applying Trim
The•most common flashing for metal roofing is the ridge cap, which is used at the peak of a'
roof where two, opposing roof slopes join. Other'flasliings include fransition flas%ling; end wall
and'sidewall flashixgs, and valleys (see diagram on right for application). Eave trims include
gable flashing and eave drip, either of which are often applied •aliove fascia trim.'; When roof pitch
exceeds 5/12 (a 5 inch rise in 12' inches), the'slope of the. roof should be mentioned when ordering
ridge caps, endwalls, and cave drip, When.a steeper roof slope meets a lesser.slop,e, both slopes
should be mentioned when ordering transition flashing. .
At the gable edge the use of gable trim adds to the appearance of the structure=and protects
the fly -rafter, and sidewall flashing is used where, the side of 'a panel butts up-against-an'adjacent-
wall. =dn either case, the installer should be careful to'seal between the.gable rake or sidewall`and
panel with butyl sealant tape, and to fasten the rake every 6"'to 12" up the slope of the ioof with
the appropriate screws. If cave drip is used on the gable, the number of 90 degree eave drip
should,be specified. separately_ from that used on :the drip, edge:when ordering.
To prevent penetration of water, insects, and debris at the ridge, outside closures -should be
inserted between theaidge cap and-the,top endlof the panel. Screws are:applied,through thexidge .
cap, closure, and rib in at least every other rib,of the panels: At• leasfa 1'/2' (or preferably 2'/2")
screw should be. used. for attaching ridge caps: Self -drilling lap screws.can.also be.used-to attach
ridge caps.
Keep Materials Dry!
Paint and finishes of Gulf Coast panels and trim are designed to withstand severe rain and,
wet weather, conditions., Neither paint,, galvanized or Galvalume finishes, however,, are designed to
be in continuous contact with water for�long periods of time. Damage will result.if nninstalled
panels or trim are allowed to reinain'wet in storage -Be sure to store material that will nofbe• '
installed immediately in a dry location. Wet material should be air-dried and re -stacked if.
