1. Install system in accordance with manufacturer’s printed installation instructions,
submittals, applicable industry standards, and governing regulatory requirements
for the Work.

2. Except as otherwise indicated, comply with manufacturer’s installation

instructions and recommendations and with SMACNA “Architectural Sheet Metal
Manual”. Anchor units of work securely in place by methods indicated, providing
for thermal expansion of metal units. Conceal fasteners at all exposed-to-view
locations, and set units true to line and level as indicated. Install work with laps,
joints, and seams that will be permanently watertight and weatherproof.
3. Isolation: Where metal surfaces of units contact dissimilar metal or corrosive
substrates, including wood, apply bituminous coating on concealed metal
surfaces or provide other permanent separation as recommended by metal
producer.
4. Expansion Provisions: Install running lengths to allow controlled expansion for

movement of metal components in relation not only to one another but also to
adjoining dissimilar materials, including flashing and roofing membrane materials,
in a manner sufficient to prevent water leakage, deformation, or damage.
5. Coordination: Coordinate with installation of roof deck and other substrates to
receive work of this Section. Anchor products securely to structural substrates to
withstand lateral and thermal stresses and inward and outward loading
pressures.
6. Install panels in grain direction as directed by Engineer.
B. Canopy Roof System:

1. General:
a. Anchor metal roofing and other components of the Work securely in place,
with provisions for thermal and structural movement.
b. Install fasteners, solder, welding rods, protective coatings, separators,
sealants, and other miscellaneous items as required for a complete roofing
system and as recommended by fabricator for metal roofing.
c. Field cutting of metal roofing by torch is not permitted.
d. Provide metal closures at where required for a watertight system.
e. Flash and seal sheet metal roofing with closure strips at perimeter of all
openings and other required areas.
f. Thermal Movement.
1) Rigidly fasten metal roof panels to structure at only one location for each
panel.
2) Allow remainder of panel to move freely for thermal expansion and
contraction.
3) Point of Fixity:
a) Fasten each panel along a single line of fixing.
4) Avoid attaching accessories through roof panels in a manner that will
inhibit thermal movement.
g. Fasteners:
1) Use fasteners of sizes that will penetrate wood sheathing not less than 19
mm for wood screws.
h. Metal Protection:
1) Where dissimilar metals will contact each other or corrosive substrates,
protect against galvanic action by painting contact surfaces with
bituminous coating, by applying self-adhering sheet underlayment to each
contact surface, or by other permanent separation as recommended by
SMACNA.
2) Coat back side of sheet metal roofing with bituminous coating where
roofing will contact wood, ferrous metal, or cementitious construction.
i. Conceal fasteners and expansion provisions where possible in exposed work
and locate to minimize possibility of leakage. Cover and seal fasteners and
anchors as required for a tight installation.

2. Cement Board Sheathing:

a. Install with long joints in continuous straight lines, perpendicular to roof slopes
with end joints staggered between rows. Tightly butt boards together.
1) Secure to top flanges of steel deck according to recommendations of FM's
"Approval Guide" for uplift requirements indicated.
3. Waterproofing / Underlayment Membrane:
a. Install self-adhering membrane, wrinkle free, on sheathing. Apply primer if
required by underlayment manufacturer.
b. Comply with temperature restrictions of underlayment manufacturer for
installation; use primer rather than nails for installing underlayment at low
temperatures.
c. Apply over entire roof, in shingle fashion to shed water, with end laps of not
less than 150 mm staggered 600 mm between courses.
d. Overlap side edges not less than 90 mm.
e. Roll laps with roller.
f. Cover underlayment within 14 days.
g. Completely seal at terminations, obstructions, and penetrations
4. Stainless Steel Z-Furring:
a. Install drainage layer then insulation and hold in place with Z-furring members
spaced as determined to meet performance requirements.
5. Sheet Steel Sheathing Board:
a. Install in compliance with manufacturer’s printed literature to meet
performance requirements.
6. Aluminum Standing Seam Roof:
a. Separate dissimilar metals from each other by painting each metal surface in
area of contact with a bituminous coating, or by applying adhesive
polyethylene underlayment to each metal surface, or by other permanent
separation as recommended by manufacturers of dissimilar metals.
b. Coat the back side of metal roofing with bituminous coating where it will be in
contact with wood, ferrous metal or cementitious construction.
c. Form and fabricate sheets, seams, strips, cleats, valleys, ridges, edge
treatments, integral flashings and other components of metal roofing to
profiles, patterns and drainage arrangements shown, and as required for
permanently leakproof construction. Provide for thermal expansion and
contraction of the work. Seal joints as required for leakproof construction.
Shop-fabricate materials to greatest extent possible.
d. Install flashings around penetration and other details in accordance with
manufacturer's standard details.
e. Sealant-Type Joints: Where sealant-filled joints are used, embed hooked
flanges of joint members not less than 25 mm into sealant. Form joints to
completely conceal sealant. When ambient temperature is moderate at time
of installation (4 deg. to 21 deg. C), set joint members for 50% movement
either way. Adjust setting proportionately for installation at higher ambient
temperatures. Do not install sealant-type joints at temperatures 4 deg. C.
Comply with the requirements of Division 07 "Joint Protection" sections for the
handling and installation of sealant.
f. Fabricate and install work with lines and corners of exposed units true and
accurate. Form exposed faces flat and free of buckles, excessive waves and
avoidable tool marks, considering temper and reflectivity of metal. Provide
uniform, neat seams with minimum exposure of solder, welds and sealant.

Except as otherwise shown, fold back sheet metal to form a hem on

concealed side of exposed edges.
g. Conceal fasteners and expansion provisions where possible in exposed work,
and locate so as to minimize possibility of leakage. Cover and seal fasteners
and anchors as required for a tight installation.
h. Remove protective film (if any) from exposed surfaces of metal roofing,
promptly upon installation. Strip with care to avoid damage to finishes.

8. Stainless Steel Chanel Subframe:
9. Zinc panels.
