General Information

Before beginning installation of panels, the installer should examine the substrate orframing to ensure that all supporting members are straight, level, and plumb to avoidany panel distortion. All substructures should be designed to meet all necessary coderequirements.

The installer should thoroughly familiarize himself with all installation instructionsbefore starting work.

This manual contains suggestions and guidelines on how to install Snap-Lock panels.The installation details shown are proven methods of construction, but are not intendedto cover all instances, building requirements, designs or codes. It is the responsibility ofthe designer/installer to ensure that the details meet particular building requirements.The designer/installer must be aware of, and allow for, expansion/contraction of roofpanels. The details may require changes or revisions due to each project’s conditions.

The panels should be installed plumb, straight, and accurately to the adjacent work.Some field cutting and fitting of panels and trim is to be expected by the installer andminor field corrections are a part of normal installation work.

Installation procedures and penetrations by fasteners in the panel system shall be inaccordance with the panel manufacturer’s printed instructions, details or the approvedshop drawings. Trim shall be installed true, and in proper alignment, with any exposedfasteners equally spaced for the best appearance.

Closures shall not be attached unless the proper sealant is placed under or around theseclosures. Sealants shall be field applied on dry, clean surfaces.

All trims, closures, and accessories shown on the installation drawings can be providedby KBS Metal Roofing unless noted otherwise.

Oil canning in the flat area of the panels is common to the industry and shall not be acause for panel rejection.

Roof Preparation

Snap-Lock is an excellent choice for residential or light commercial applications. There are severaltopics that the installer needs to address before installing Snap-Lock.

On New Construction:

• Snap-Lock is designed to be installed over solid decking.

• Make sure the roof is clear of any debris that might interfere with installation.

• KBS Metal Roofing recommends that the installer uses no less than a 30 lb. felt underlayment andhighly recommends Titanium underlayment.

• Installer needs to utilize an alignment or “chalk” line where the first panel is installed. KBS

recommends that this line be vertical and ¼" from the rake edge of the roof deck and square with theeave. Other methods of confirming the modularity (or squareness) can also be used.

On Existing Roofing:

• Snap-Lock is designed to be installed over solid decking.

• Make sure any existing decking is smooth, level and in good condition. Replace any decking notmeeting those requirements.

• If there is an existing asphalt shingle roof, check local building codes to determine whether existingshingles must be removed.

• If installing over existing shingles, KBS Metal Roofing recommends the use of horizontal “furring”strips and foam insulation placed between furring strips. This will insure a solid and level substrate toattach panels.

• Make sure the roof is clear of any debris that might interfere with installation.

• KBS recommends that the installer uses no less than a 30 lb. felt underlayment and highlyrecommends Titanium underlayment.
