Aluminum Roof Panel Installation and Maintenance

1. Standardized installation process
‌Base pretreatment‌
The base must meet the "three no" standards: no looseness, no cracks, no ups and downs. The concrete base should reserve a 2% drainage slope, and the wooden base needs to be treated with anti-corrosion;
Use a laser level to detect flatness, and the error must be controlled within the range of ±3mm/3m.
‌Keel system construction‌
Use 304 stainless steel anchor bolts to fix, and the vertical and horizontal spacing is arranged according to a 60cm×30cm grid layout, and the eaves are encrypted by 30% fixed points;
It is recommended to use galvanized steel for the keel, with a horizontal spacing of ≤50cm and a vertical spacing of ≤70cm to ensure a load-bearing capacity of ≥300kg/m².
‌Precise laying of aluminum tiles‌
Staggered paving from the eaves to the ridge, with a lap length of ≥8cm, and an expansion sealant (expansion coefficient 1.5 times) applied to the joints;
The corners are double-folded, and the special-shaped areas need to be customized and cut after on-site measurement, and the cuts need to be polished to remove burrs.
‌Sealing and reinforcement‌
Install windproof strips on the ridge and corners, embed weather-resistant sealant between the flashing and the wall, and use EPDM rubber rings for secondary sealing of the screw holes;
In coastal/windy areas, it is recommended to add wind-resistant clips and add 2-3 stainless steel fasteners per square meter.

2.Key quality indicator control

Indicator Standard Requirements
Board Thickness ≥0.6 mm for coastal/typhoon-prone areas; ≥0.4 mm for inland areas; PVDF fluorocarbon coating thickness ≥25 μm
Fixed Parts Density ≥5 anchor bolts per meter at eaves; ≥8 per square meter in standard areas
Thermal Expansion Gap Reserve 5–10 mm expansion joints between boards; joint sealant filling rate ≥95%
Wind Pressure Resistance Passed simulated 12-level typhoon test (≥32.7 m/s); pull-out force of fixings ≥1.2 kN

3.Key points of periodic maintenance
‌Daily cleaning‌
Use a soft brush to clean the aluminum corrugated roofing sheets gutter every six months, and use a neutral detergent (pH6-8) to wipe stubborn stains. Acidic/alkaline solvents are prohibited;

‌Key inspection items‌

Check the looseness of the fixings within 72 hours after the typhoon/heavy snow, and use a torque wrench to tighten to 15-20N·m;
When the screw holes are oxidized and whitened, and the sealant is cracked, it is necessary to apply polyurethane sealant within 48 hours;
‌Functional testing‌
Use a thermal imager to detect the thermal insulation performance of the roof every two years. If the temperature difference exceeds the design value by 20%, the aging problem of the core layer needs to be checked;
Carry out a water spray test before the rainy season (flow rate ≥3L/(min·m²)), and it is qualified if there is no leakage for 30 minutes.

4.Emergency treatment plan for typical problems

Failure Phenomenon Solution
Local Warping of Tiles Remove the affected area, inspect and correct keel deformation, replace with new tiles, and increase the number of fixing points
Water Seepage at the Joints Remove old sealant and reapply MS modified silane sealant (elastic recovery rate ≥ 90%)
Surface Coating Peeling Sand the area with sandpaper, spray with fluorocarbon paint in matching color, ensuring the repair coating thickness is ≥ 80% of the original
