[PART 2: PRODUCTS]{.underline}

2.1 MATERIALS:

A. Corrugated Fiberglass Panels Requirements:

1\. Nominal wt = 8 oz/ft²

2\. Nominal thickness = 0.06 inches

3\. Hardness, Barcol ‑ 35‑50, according to ASTM D 2583

other low corrugation at end laps; every third low at intermediate
purlins.

2\. Sealant: 1/4-inch diameter clear sealant at side and end laps.

3\. Nails: Aluminum spiral shank weatherproof type with integral
neoprene washer, 2-inch length x 0.145 inch diameter.

4\. Closure Strips: Preformed 1‑1/2-inch wide rubber strips which

[PART 3: EXECUTION]{.underline}

3.1 PREPARATION:

A. Surface Preparation: Ascertain that sufficient lengths of panels and
closure strips, adequate numbers of connectors and an adequate volume of
sealant are on‑site to permit uninterrupted roofing erection. All
necessary framing shall be in place appropriately anchored, accurately
sized and positioned.

3.2 INSTALLATION:

A. Procedures:

1\. If workmen are required to bear their weight on panels during
installation, use planks to spread load.

2\. Panels may be cut to size shown on drawings by use of hand saw
having fine teeth with no set. For power saws, fabric reinforced
abrasive disc or a perma‑grit blade may be used.

3\. Panels shall be fastened to supports with nails and washers
specified through pre‑drilled holes slightly smaller than nail diameter.

a\. Maximum spacing shall be approximately 8 inch oc. Nail through the
crowns of configuration and closure strips specified.

4\. Use closure strips and metal flashing as detailed on the drawings.

5\. Lap panels one full side corrugation and 6 inches minimum at ends.

a\. Seal laps completely with clear mastic.

b\. Where side laps are unsupported, seal laps with mastic and fasten
through crown 8 inches oc (pre‑drilled holes) using 1/4 inch aluminum
bolts as specified.
