VEROLITE

Polycarbonate Twinwall Sheets Assembly & Storage Guide

PAGE ONE

Storage Requirements
VEROLITE crates or sheets should be stored in warehouse areas not exposed to direct heat or light which could make the removal of protective film difficult. Supported, sloped stacking is recommended, but sheets may be stacked up to 3' high on a flat, even, supported surface.

Protective Film
All Verolite panels are supplied with a protective PE film on both sides which should be kept on until the panel is fastened. The U.V. protected side is to be faced towards the sun and is marked with printed film.

Fabrication
VEROLITE won't crack or split when cut or drilled. Verolite is able to stand extreme abuse. Its impact strength is 200 times greater than glass and 10 times greater than acrylic.

VEROLITE may be cut using a circular saw with a fine tooth blade for sizes up tp 16 mm, with a razor knife cut on both sides of the material. Compressed air may be used to remove dust from the channels.

Allow for proper expansion in all drill holes.

Do not drill within 1 1/2" from the edge of the sheet.

When fastening screws, do not tighten below the surface of the panel.

Installation

Stiff fixing by means of adhesive or putty is to be avoided Contact your distributor for recommended sealants.

Stiff fixing by means of adhesive or putty is to be avoided Contact your distributor for recommended sealants.

Exposed top and bottom ends of a sheet must always be sealed by means of the proper polycarbonate "U" profiles or an adhesive aluminum tape to prevent dust and dirt pene-trating inside the ribs.

Extruded ribs shall be installed in a vertical direction for drainage.

Glazing sheets should be joined by VEROLITE extruded polycarbonate profiles and be installed with their protective U.V. stabilized surface towards the exterior. VEROLITE should not be used with PVC profiles, however, a variety of aluminum systems may be used. Consult with your local Distributor for approved systems.

The use of horizontal bars should be avoided. Instead order VEROLITE in the proper length (up to 48 ft.).

For proper applicarion of VEROLITE in roofing conditions, a slope of at least 5º is required.

Bending Radii
VEROLITE panels can be readily cold formed to many bending radii and can be fabricated on site to precise dimensions. It is important to avoid over tensing of the sheet, therefore, the minimum bending radius must be 150 times the thickness of the panel. Minmum Bending Radius = Ft. / 1

Sheet Thickness
4.5 mm 6mm 8mm 10mm 16mm
Minimum Bending Radius 2'2" 2'2" 2'11" 4'11" 7'10"
