Step 1 - Measure
Measure the width of your structure and divide by 760mm this will give you the amount of Suntuf sheets you require.
Step 2 - Pitch
Where possible, ensure that your roof pitch is at least 10°. This will ensure adequate water runoff. If a lower pitch is desired, extra waterproofing at the high end of the roof will be required.
Step 3 - Purlin Spacing
Suntuf is supported on the structure via Purlins, these are the bearers that run left to right along the width of the roof .The maximum purlin spacing for the corrugated profile is 800mm centres on the first and last purlins and 1 meter centres for the intermediate purlins.
Step 4 - Noise Reduction Tape
For a quiet roof - install the PSP noise reduction tape to all of the purlins, before installing the sheets. This will ensure that the expansion and contraction movement of the sheets has a minimal noise effect. Painting the tops of the purlins white is also recommended to prevent heat build-up.
Step 5 - Square
When installing the first sheet make sure it is square to the structure this will be your base mark for the rest of the sheets.
Step 6 - Cutting
If you need to alter the length or width of the Suntuf sheeting, it can be cut on site using various methods, a circular saw using an Irwin Marathon PVC blade or scoring with a sharp pointed Stanley knife and tear or simply with a pair of scissors.
Step 7 - UV
When installing the sheets make sure the label is facing up to the sun. If for some reason there are no labels, each sheet has an ink printed tattoo – make sure that is facing up towards the sun.
