Installation Guide

DISCLAIMER
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION
These guidelines are provided in good faith to help prevent installation problems caused by common errors. The manufacturer and/or
distributor of the product bears no responsibility for installation actions taken or not taken. There are many nuances of installation that are
assumed to be general construction knowledge to an experienced installer; such nuances are not included in these instructions. Rather,
these installation guidelines are strictly recommendations and are not intended to serve as a step-by-step, foolproof installation checklist.
Selection of an experienced FRP installer is the sole responsibility of the project owner and architect. Crane Composites does not accept
any responsibility for job failure resulting from or associated with improper job site environmental conditions.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Safety Information
WHEN CUTTING OR DRILLING, ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GLASSES OR GOGGLES AND A FACE MASK WHICH COVERS THE FACE
AND MOUTH. Itching due to glass fibers may be avoided by the use of barrier creams on exposed skin areas. Hearing protection is also
recommended.
DO NOT WALK ON PANELS. Observe simple fire precautions. Similar to wood or equal thickness, fiberglass panels can be flash-ignited at
approximately 700°F.
Important
Before beginning this project, be sure to check your local building codes pertaining to locating and constructing structures; obtain any
permits and inspections that may be required. As required by law, before you dig on construction sites, have all buried utilities (electric, gas,
water, phone, cable, etc.) located and clearly marked by a qualified professional
Supplies and Equipment
STANDARD TOOLS NEEDED
• Hammer
• Carpenter square
• 4’ level
• Power circular saw
• Power drive and bits: 1/8” and 3/8”
• Caulking Gun
• Caulk
CRANE COMPOSITES MATERIALS NEEDED
• Sequentia FRP Corrugated Panels
• Sequentia vertical filler strips (R79040)
• Sequentia horizontal filler strips (R79039)
• Sequentia end wall or ridgeroll flashing
• Sequentia galvanized aluminum 1-3/4” gauge nails (R79003)
Storage
While a single panel easily withstands exposure to sunlight and the elements, a stack of fiberglass panels will trap heat and moisture,
causing clouding in the panels. To avoid this irreversible effect, panels should be stored in a dry, shaded, well-ventilated area. Store panels
on edge or on end. Skids should be elevated at one end with wood spacers.
Cleaning Instructions
Panels may we washed with either mild detergent-type cleaners or by steam and high-pressure spray systems. Apply cleaners with sponge
or soft brush and rinse thoroughly in cold water to eliminate cleaning agent film build-up. Always follow cleaning agent manufacturer’s
instructions. Test small area before applying over entire surface. Hard water deposits may be removed with a 10% solution of acetic acid
in COLD water. Rinse thoroughly. Panels may be waxed to maintain luster and beauty. Always follow wax manufacturer’s application
instructions.
Minimum Bend Radius
(2.67” x 7/8”) Flexing the panel to the point of buckling can cause fracture and rapid deterioration at the fracture point. Install at ambient
temperatures not below 60°F.
