Installation Guide: Storage
- Upon receipt of your roofing panels, store them in a well-ventilated, dry location.
- Rain or condensation can be drawn between the stacked sheets which can cause premature failure of the protective coating, causing water stains, or white rust.
- Trapped moisture, between pre-painted metal, can also cause white rust to form underneath the paint finish, causing paint blisters, or paint to fake off immediately or over time.
- Do not store panels in direct contact with the ground. Ensure the panels are adequately supported and elevated off the ground, preferably with a slope to allow water to drain.
- Cover panels with a waterproof cover spaced off the panels to allow for air movement.
- Never cover panels in plastic, as this will encourage condensation to form.
- Prolonged storage of panels in a lift is not recommended.
- If longer than 4 weeks, after receipt of your order, the lift should be opened and the panels inspected.
- Store panels inside if possible.
