Storing, Handling, and Cutting Steel Panels
Storing
• Specically check your quantities, colors, and lengths
• All materials should be used as soon as possible
• Steel bundles should be stored indoors with enough of a slope to allow
any moisture from condensation to drain out of the bundle
• Bare galvanized panels should be installed immediately and not be stored outside
• Condensation or rain water trapped on bare galvanized panels can form a wet
storage stain, also known as white rust.
Handling
• Do not slide steel panels across each other.
• Do not slide the panels from end to end in the bundle. Remove each sheet one at a time
from the side of the bundle from the side of the bundle from the underlap side of the panel.
• To properly lift a panel from the bundle place hands underneath the
under lap side of the panel and lift up and away from the bundle.
• Lifting steel onto roof or building grab the panel
in the at of the panel and not in the rib.
• Bending steel is best done with a hand
seamer or a brake press.
Cutting Panels

Snips
Shears

Shears
Do not use a circular saw or grinder
to cut steel panels.
Cutting steel is best done with a shears, tin snips, nibblers, or panel shears.
Cut edge does not require paint touch up.
Steel Panel Installation:
Proper lapping of steel panel is very important in the panel’s ability to prevent leaking.
The anti-syphon drain channel must be clear of debris and obstructons for the panel’s ability
to minimize the potential of capillary action of water from getting under the steel panel.
