The installation of polycarbonate corrugated roof panels requires attention to the following aspects:

Preparation before installation

Check the quality of the board: Inspect the board for defects such as damage, deformation, scratches, etc., to ensure that the quantity and specifications match the installation requirements. At the same time, it is necessary to check whether the protective film of the board is intact to avoid scratching or contaminating the surface of the board before installation.

Prepare installation tools: Prepare self tapping screws, rivets, screwdrivers, drills, sealant, glue guns, rulers, scissors, and other installation tools.

Cleaning installation area: Thoroughly clean the base surface of the roof or wall to ensure it is flat, clean, dry, free of debris, dust, oil stains, etc., so as not to affect the installation firmness and sealing of the board.

Board cutting and processing

Precise cutting: According to the installation size requirements, use professional tools to accurately cut the board. When cutting, pay attention to keeping the cutting surface flat and smooth, avoiding burrs or cracks, so as not to scratch the operator or affect the installation effect.

Edge treatment: The edges of the cut sheet may have sharp corners, which need to be polished or chamfered to prevent cutting the sealing material or causing safety hazards during installation. At the same time, it is necessary to clean up the debris generated by cutting to prevent it from entering the interior of the board or affecting the sealing performance.

Fixing method: When using self tapping screws or rivets for fixing, pay attention to even spacing, usually around 30-50 centimeters apart. Screws or rivets should be perpendicular to the surface of the board and should not be tightened too tightly to prevent deformation or damage to the board. At the edges and overlaps of the board, the fixing points should be appropriately encrypted to ensure sealing performance.

Overlap treatment: The overlap length between boards is generally a wave peak or valley, which can be determined according to the board specifications and installation requirements. Apply sealant to the overlapping area to prevent rainwater leakage. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the overlap direction is correct, overlap in the direction of water flow, and avoid rainwater backflow.

Reserve expansion and contraction space: Polycarbonate sheets may expand and contract due to temperature changes, so sufficient expansion and contraction space should be reserved during installation. Generally, a gap of 5-10 millimeters should be left at the ends and sides of the board, and sealed with sealant or rubber strips to ensure the expansion and contraction of the board and prevent rainwater from entering.

Avoid direct contact with metal: When the sheet comes into contact with metal components, rubber or plastic pads should be used for isolation to prevent electrochemical corrosion caused by direct contact between the metal and the sheet, which may affect the service life of the sheet.

Check after installation

Sealing inspection: After installation, carefully check whether the joints, fixing points, and edges of the board are well sealed, and whether there are any glue leaks, gaps, or holes. If there is any leakage, it should be repaired in a timely manner.

Appearance inspection: Check whether the installation of the board is smooth, and whether there are obvious unevenness or deformation phenomena. At the same time, check the surface of the board for scratches, stains, etc. If necessary, clean and repair it.

Drainage inspection: Check if the drainage system on the roof or wall is unobstructed to ensure that rainwater can be drained smoothly and there will be no water accumulation on the roof panels. If there is water accumulation, the cause should be promptly identified and rectified to avoid affecting the service life of the roof panels.
