6. DRAINAGE AND CONDENSATION
u
Install the sheets with inclination or
vertically, never horizontally (unless
interior use).
u
Minimum inclination: 10° (18 cm
per meter) or more.
u
The direction of the sheet canals
must always go along with the roof
inclination.
7. SHEET DIRECTION
° °

u
Type of saw blade:
1. hard metal (for ca 50 m/s)
u
Make sure that the bottom NEVER
stands in water (moss and algae).
u
Condensation in the canals is not
100% inevitable (physical phenome-
non).
Acrylic and polycarbonate are very
less gas- and dampproof. The charac-
teristics of the material and the gua-
rantee are not diminished because of
this. An appropriate sealing is recom-
mended.
u
Always use a grease pencil to make
notes on the protection film (felt pen
is difficult to remove)
.
u
To ensure a fest clamping during the
sawing, you should always make sure
that a raised rib is as near as possible
by a sawed edge .
9. SAWING AND DRILLING
u
When sawing, use a hard metal saw
(widea) with high rotation speed. Saw
slowly and by preference with one
move. Use new or sharpened saw bla-
des. Make sure the sides are always
smooth.
ATTENTION: The basis on which the
sheets are sawn, must be stable and
vibration-free. The sheets must not
move during sawing. The saw blade
must slightly reach out of the sheet.
u
Remove all dust and sawing rests
from the canals with pure compressed
air or a powerful vacuum cleaner.
u
Only remove the protection film
after installation to avoid scratches.
u
Drilling is strongly advised against.
However, if unavoidable, provide with
grooves (shrinking and dilatation).

2. HSS (not more than 40 m/s)
u
Avoid direct sunlight on piled
sheets.
u
If you pile the sheets outside, cover
the sheets with white polyethyl foil.
Always keep the synthetic friendly
tape as sealing on the front sides of
the sheets.
u
The sheets must not be piled direct-
ly on the ground. Use appropriate pal-
let boards.
10. PILING
u
Never walk or kneel directly on the
sheets. Always use solid timber boards
underneath. Make sure these boards
are supported by the timber construc-
tion.
u
Multi-walled synthetic sheets with
thin walls and a high insulating struc-
ture in the sheet, are sensitive to foot,
knee and other impressions at the
surface. Please take enough precau-
tions during transport and installa-
tion. Impressions in the sheet are not
covered by the guarantee.
12. REMEMBER
u
As we already mentioned several
times, synthetic sheets shrink and
dilate under the influence of tempe-
rature fluctuations. When they move
with regard to the roof construction,
there can be some creak noises. There
is no danger for the sheets if they
have been installed according to the
installation instructions.
u
Screwed clipses cause more creak
noises with synthetic sheets.
u
If you would like to avoid crack
noises, we advise you to always use
the TP and TPH profiles. The TP can
expand and shrink with the synthetic
sheets or alu sandwich sheets.
14. DILATATION NOISES
Dust and damp may not enter into the
cell structure:
u
A combination of BT 16/25/32
at the top and BB 16/25/32 with
U16/25/32P at the bottom, stops
dust of > 45μm from entering the cell
structure.
u
The underside is provided with a
perforated aluminium filter tape.
To protect the tape, use the U16P/
U25P/U32P or a U profile with per-
forations of Ø 3.5 mm, installed every
20 cm.
u
Seal the profile with synthetic
friendly silicone to prevent water infil-
tration maximally.
u
Wet the edge of sheets with no-
drop layer and dry it afterwards before
taping the sheet.
u
If you install sun protection, you
must do this on the upper side of the
sheets: e.g. on the outside.
Attention:
Do not put the sun protection directly
on the sheet!
You can also buy sunproof sheets
(PC: Primalite Clear, Reflex Pearl,
Relax - PMMA: S5P Heatstop) or
install a Skylux conservatory dome.
11. SUN PROTECTION
u
The multi-walled synthetic sheets
resist normal snow load. You can find
the maximum snow load on the tech-
nical files per sheet type and size. In
case of heavy snow fall, we recom-
mend to regularly clear the snow.
The conservatory roof must also be
protected against snow falling from a
higher situated roof.
13. SNOW AND SNOW PILE
u
Only use sheets with identic pro-
duction number per project to avoid
colour differences.
15. FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS
u
Multi-walled synthetic sheets may
reflect the sunlight to the inside or
the outside in case of direct sunlight
(following the orientation or the
inclination). This is a normal situation
which does not affect the sheet gua-
rantee.
