Panel Dimensions

Suntuf panels use the following corrugation pattern, referred to as proﬁle name Greca 76.

This proﬁle consists of a repeated squared oﬀ trapezoidal shape and should not be confused

with the round corrugation proﬁles of other Palram Americas products. Suntuf panels are

available in widths of 26" (at 8', 10', and 12' lengths) and 49.6" (at 8', 12', and 16' lengths).

Suntuf Accessories

The following accessories are available for use in your Suntuf installation. Note that these accessories are made for use with the Suntuf

proﬁle panels and may not be compatible for use with other Palram Americas Inc.’s products.

Safety Measures

The following safety measures should be followed during and after installation of Suntuf panels.

1. Use ladders, crawling boards and other safety equipment required for safe installation. Use all safety measures required according to

local safety regulations.

2. Don’t step on installed panels between support members for fear of falling. Rather, use a sturdy board adequate to

support your weight and long enough to span at least three structural members.

3. Never leave Suntuf panels unattended on the roof until all the required fasteners have been appropriately installed

or the panels secured to the supporting structure.

Design Considerations and Installation Notes

Before You Begin Your Project

Make sure the color of all panels match. Be sure Panel and Horizontal Closure Strip proﬁles ﬁt together and that all accessories match

the Suntuf proﬁle. Snow, wind and weather loads should be considered when designing the slope degree of your structure. Before

installation, check local building codes for relevant speciﬁcations and recommendations. Follow local codes at all times.

Pitch

This is the amount of height in inches the rafter rises over a 12" run for rooﬁng applications. The minimum recommended slope for

Suntuf is 1-½" in 12". When installed at a lower pitch, additional sealing should be applied to ensure weather resistance.

Purlins / Cross Supports

Cross supports (purlins) must be no more than 36" apart for Suntuf. This is the maximum recommended spacing. For most typical

installations however 24" is recommended to give the best balance of economy, light transmission and structural support.
