The Profile

Is roll-formed from certified steel complying with (select from steel column in above table). The profile shall have 4 trapezoidel ribs at 233 mm centres giving a net cover of 700 mm. The male rib shall have spurs to ensure a positive double interlocking action at side laps. Each pan shall incorporate two stiffener ribs.

Assembly

When using a GrS (Brownbuilt) Approved Contractor, a five-year guarantee on-site workmanship and water tightness may be issued after approval by Global Roofing Solutions (Pty) Ltd.

Flashing

Stop endings must be formed at the apex and the pan turned down at the eaves to form a drip. The roof sheeting shall be closed as necessary with purpose-made flashings of a design approved by the supplier. These flashings shall be notched around ribs where necessary and fixed on S10 clips. All these operations must be performed with special tools available from the supplier.

Sheet lengths

Klip-lok 700™ is available ex-factory in sheet lengths limited only by transport restrictions, normal loads 12.5 m and abnormal loads 18.6 m. longer lengths can be milled on site, eliminating end laps which are not recommended. End lapping negates the concealed fix concept and no water tightness guarantee can be given. End lapping reduces the life expectancy of the roof, due to corrosion.
