Figure 20.1

There are two types of profiles in the Cooldek range; Cooldek Classic 

and Cooldek CGI, refer figure below. The same procedure is used 

when fixing either option to the frame.

When attaching the Cooldek Sheeting, start from the rear on one 

side of the gable. Lift the first sheet into place and slide firmly into 

the  angled  back  channel.  Check  the  sheet  is  square  against  the 
receiving channel and the beam capping and fix into position. Lay 
the  next  sheet  of  decking  over  the  previous  sheets  side  lap  and 

ensure that the slip joint of the two sheets has engaged, refer figure 

20.0 and 20.1. 

Note:

 The minimum Cooldek sheet length is 2.0m. If your design 

requires sheets smaller than 2.0m they will be supplied at 2.0m and 
require cutting on site.

Ridge End

Sheeting is fastened to the angled back channel using 4.8mm sealed 
rivets to the underside of the sheeting at maximum 200mm centres 

and  12  x  20  hex  head  self  drilling  screws  with  neoprene  washer 
from the top into each crest for the Classic profile and every third 
crest for CGI, refer figure 20.2. 

Beam Capping End - WITH A SIDE GUTTER

If  a  side  gutter  is  being  attached  to  the  unit  an  ‘Angled  Cutback 
Flashing’ will need to be fixed to the ends of the sheeting. Cut back 
the  foam  and  the  bottom  skin  of  the  insulted  deck  to  the  beam 

capping, refer figure 20.3. Slide the angled cutback flashing between 

the beam capping and the sheeting. Rivet the cutback flashing to the 
top sheet at 1000mm centres and fix the decking through each crest 

for Classic and every second crest for CGI into the beam capping 
(and  the  flashing).  If  using  50mm  Classic  panels  use  14x125mm 
hex head self drilling screws (14 x 150mm for 75mm Classic panels, 

14 x 110 for 50mm CGI panels and 14 x 125 for 75mm CGI panels) 

refer figure 20.3.

Pre-drill the crests of the ribs to provide clean holes for the seating 

of neoprene washers. Use cyclone caps and neoprene washers for 
all crest fixing. Do not over tighten screws. Fix side laps with 12x20 

hex head screws with neoprene washer at approximately 1000mm 

centres. Silicone to waterproof all rivets.

Beam Capping End - WITHOUT A SIDE GUTTER

If no side gutter is being installed fix the decking through each crest 
for Classic and every second crest for CGI into the beam capping. If 
using 50mm Classic panels use 14x125mm hex head self drilling 

screws (14 x 150mm for 75mm Classic panels, 14 x 110 for 50mm 

CGI panels and 14 x 125 for 75mm CGI panels), refer figure 20.4.

Pre-drill the crests of the ribs to provide clean holes for the seating 

of neoprene washers. Use cyclone caps and neoprene washers for all 
crest fixings. Do not over tighten screws. Fix side laps with 12 x 20 

hex head screws with neoprene washer at approx 1000mm centres.

When no side gutter is present a standard cutback flahsing will be 

used to protect the foam. Cutback the foam and the bottom skin of 
the insulated deck by 20mm. Position the cutback flashing as shown 
in figure 20.5 and rivet to the panel at 500mm centres from both 
sides. Silicone to waterproof all rivets.
