Application Guidelines
Safety:
Always work safely when installing metal products. Use extreme caution on a roof at all times, and wear
gloves and safety glasses to avoid injury. Hearing protection should be used when power-cutting metal
panels. Do not walk on panels until all fasteners are installed. Metal panels are slippery when wet,
dusty, frosty or oily. Do not attempt to walk on a metal roof under these conditions. Always use OSHA
recommended safety harness or equipment when working on a roof. Wear soft-soled shoes to improve
traction and to minimize damage to the paint finish. Always be aware of your position on the roof
relative to any roof openings, roof edges, co-workers, and penetrations. Installing metal panels on a
windy day can be dangerous and should be avoided. Consult OSHA guidelines for more comprehensive
safety requirements.
Minimum Slope:
Everlast Roofing light gauge products are designed to be installed on pitches of no less than 3:12.
Please contact an Everlast sales representative for product recommendations on lower sloped roofs.

Wind Load (Stress)
Maximum allowable loads are based upon a continuous three span sheet application.
Calculated in accordace with the 1996 AISI Cold Formed Steel Design Manual.
Maximum allowable loads for wind have been increased by 33%.
Allowable deflection loads are limited by a maximum deflection ratio of L/180 of span.

Handling:
A.
Do not lift panels from ends while flat. Lift the panels on edge when moving individual panels or when moving panels onto the roof.
B.
Do not unload in a jerking or bouncing fashion. While unloading, the bundle must be handled at lift point, specified by Everlast Roofing, Inc. Panels greater than 25' long should be unloaded using spreader bar to prevent panels from bending.
C.
Although the paint coating is tough, dragging panels across the surface of one another will almost certainly damage the finish. Improper handling of metal panels may cause scratches to the paint finish. ELR offers
matching touch up paint in a variety of standard colors in the event of any scratches to the paint finish.
Please note: touch up paint will not weather as well or at the same rate as the original coating or finish.
Storage:
A.
If the material is not to be used immediately, it should be stored in a dry place. Moisture trapped between
sheets may cause damage to the paint system. The paint system may become soft or water stains may appear which can detract from the appearance and affect the service life of the material. To avoid problems store the materials in a well-ventilated dry area. Stack the materials in an incline position. DO NOT USE PLASTIC TO COVER MATERIALS. THIS CAN CAUSE SWEATING OR CONDENSATION!

Installation Recommendations:
-
-
-
-
-
Panels can be installed over open purlins. See load chart for spacing
Panels should be installed against any prevailing wind
Panels should be installed square, plumb and properly aligned to one another
Galvanized and galvalume panels should remain void of any condensation containing copper, lead or uncoated steel materials
In situations where an endlap of a panel is required, be certain to overlap upper panel a minimum of 8” over lower panel and apply sealant and butyl lap tape uniformly between the two panels.
Ventilation/Insulation:
Proper design and installation of vapor barriers and ventilation systems are important to prevent condensation and
the resulting problems of moisture damage and loss of insulation efficiency. Condensation occurs when moistureladen air comes in contact with a surface temperature equal to or below the dew point of the air. This phenomenon
creates problems that are not unique to metal buildings; these problems are common to all types of construction.
In addition to providing resistance to heat transfer, insulation can also protect against condensation forming on
cold surfaces, either inside the building or within the wall/roof/system cavity. The arrangement of the building’s
insulation system and vapor retarder is the responsibility of the building designer. These are some basic guides to
help control condensation.
A.
B.
C.
D.
The insulation should have a vapor retarder face on the “warm” side of the insulation. For most buildings, this means that the vapor retarder is on the inside surface (toward the building’s interior).
The thickness of the insulation must be designed to maintain temperature of the vapor retarder above the interior dew point, using the worst-case expected outside temperature.
All perimeter conditions, seams, and penetrations of the vapor retarder must be adequately sealed in order to provide a continuous membrane to resist the passage of water vapor.
Building ventilation, whether by gravity ridge vent, power-operated fans, or other means, contributes significantly to reduced condensation. The movement of air to the outside of the building reduces the
interior level of vapor pressure. On the buildings that have an attic space or are being retrofitted with
metal roofing systems, vents should be placed at both the eave and peak of the roof in order to prevent a buildup of moisture (humidity) in the attic space. Contact your local building code official or an engineer on proper ventilation practices for you area.
Cutting:
Everlast recommends the use of tin snips or a "nibbler" type electric tool to field cutting metal panels. Cutting
metal panels may create metal shavings.
A.
B.
These shavings and/or chips must be removed immediately from the panel surface. Failure to remove such shavings or chips may cause staining and/or rust on the panel.. Any such surface damage will void the warranty.
For your protection goggles should be worn when cutting metal panels and flashing.
* This same principle applies when driving steel fasteners (see pages LG07 & LG08)
