Design requirements

Roof pitch minimum 3°  

Effective cover 890mm

Specify material coating to suit building location/environment

Unpainted metallic coated steel, COLORSTEEL®, including Matte, and ColorCote standard colour ranges - availability and minimum quantities may apply

Stratco flashing details for roofing and wall cladding to be used to meet NZ Building Code, E2/AS1 and NZ Metal Roofing Manufacturers Code of Practice

Purlin spacing not to exceed maximum spans as per Stratco S7 span tables

Stratco S7 wall cladding to use drainage cavity batten  

Ensure compatibility when using Stratco S7 roofing/wall cladding with other metal products such as copper to prevent accelerated corrosion  

Installation requirements

Packs of Stratco S7 sheeting should always be kept dry and stored above ground level on site. If the sheets have become wet, they should be separated, wiped and placed in the open to dry.  

Stratco S7 sheets should be laid lapping to sit neatly on the preceding roof sheet.

Cut pre-painted steel material by shear only — use nibblers or hand shears. Friction blades and high-speed saw blades must not be used on metal cladding.

Black lead pencils must never be used for marking aluminium/zinc, and unpainted or pre-painted steel products. Use a pencil of any colour other than black, a marker pen, or crayon.  

For full installation details refer: www.stratco.co.nz/siteassets/pdfs/bpis/stratco-s7-building-product-information-sheet.pdf

Maintenance requirements

All roofing and cladding products are subject to the cumulative effects of weather, dust and other deposits so the performance and durability of Stratco S7 roofing and wall cladding over time depends on its correct maintenance. For roofing, normal rain washing will remove most accumulated atmospheric contaminants from the top side of roofs.  

Areas that do not receive adequate rain washing (known as unwashed areas) require more extensive manual washing.

Roofing and cladding products should be manually washed by either water and a sponge or a soft nylon-bristled brush or by water blasting at pressures of no more than 20MPa. Never use abrasive or solvent based cleaners such as turps, petrol or kerosene.
