PERFORMANCE

SUPPORT SPACING FOR NON-CYCLONIC AREAS

The maximum support spacings shown in Table 1 are based on testing in accordance with AS1562-1992, “Design and
Installation of Sheet Roof and Wall Cladding – Part 1: Metal” and AS4040.1-1992, “Methods of Testing Sheet Roof
and Cladding Method 1: Resistance to Concentrated Loads”. These roof support spacings are the maximum recom-
mended for adequate performance of the roof cladding under foot traffic loading.

The maximum wall spacings are based on wind pressure calculations with reference to AS1170.2:2011. The pressure
considered is based on buildings up to 10m high in Region B, Terrain Category 3, Ms = 0.85. Mi = 1.0 with the assumption
of Cpi = +0.20, Cpe = -0.65, Ki = 2.0.

The spacing may be reduced by the Serviceability and Strength Limit States for the particular project under consideration.

LIMIT STATE WIND PRESSURES FOR NON-CYCLONIC AREAS

The wind pressure capacities are based on tests conducted at NATA registered testing laboratory at Lysaght Technol-
ogy in Chester Hill, Sydney, Australia. Testing was conducted in accordance with AS1562.1 – 1992, “Design and
Installation of Sheet Roof and Wall Cladding”, and AS4040.2 – 1992, “Resistance to Wind Pressure for
Non-Cyclonic Regions”.

The table for wind pressure capacities below provides pressure versus span graphs for Serviceability and Strength
Limit State Design. Serviceability Limit State is based on a deflection limit of: (span/120) + (P/30). Where P is the
maximum fastener pitch.

The pressure capacities for Strength Limit State have been determined by testing the cladding to failure (ultimate
capacity). These pressures are applicable when the cladding is fixed to minimum material thickness of 1.0mm. To
obtain the design capacity of the sheeting, a capacity reduction factor of 0.90 should be applied.

A non-cyclonic area is defined as one in which a tropical cyclone is unlikely to occur in accordance with AS1170.2 –
1989, “SAA Loading Code, Part 2: Wind Loads”.

RAINWATER RUN-OFF FOR LYSAGHT® KLIP-LOK® 406

The drainage or run-off capacity of roof sheeting is another limitation on the total length of sheet run that must be
considered in roof design and construction. As a guide, Table 3 lists the maximum recommended length of roof run for
LYSAGHT® KLIP-LOK® 406 profile at the roof slopes and rainfall intensities. These are based on CSIRO Australia
(Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) and BlueScope Lysaght’s calculation of the behav-
iour of LYSAGHT® roofing profiles under peak rainfall conditions. The roof run is the total length of roof sheeting
draining rainwater in one direction including any end laps, expansion joints or steps that may be present on the roof.

PRODUCT FEATURES & BENEFITS

1. CONCEALED FIXING
Fixing clips effectively secure KLIP-LOK® 406 to steel or timber supports without puncturing the sheets. With no
exposed fasteners, clean and smooth architectural lines can be achieved.

2. RAINWATER DRAINAGE AND WATERPROOF SYSTEM

LYSAGHT® KLIP-LOK® 406 profile provides a lightweight but extremely strong waterproof cladding system. Its wide
fluted pans and high ribbed design disperses rainwater quickly and efficiently to the outer perimeters of the roof.
Thus, LYSAGHT® KLIP-LOK® 406 steel cladding is an excellent choice for severe rainfall intensity areas in Asia.

3. ALL WEATHER PERFORMANCE

LYSAGHT® KLIP-LOK® 406 profile has exceptional strength even though it is light weight. It has excellent wind
resistance too. Its first-class resistance against corrosion, discolouration, and tropical dirt staining, while requiring no
or minimal maintenance, makes it the best all-weather performer.

4. SIMPLE & LOW-COST FIXING

Long, straight lengths of LYSAGHT® KLIP-LOK® 406 profile can be laid in place and easily aligned. Fixing with our
clips is simpler and faster than ever before. The smaller number of clips for a given area provides extra economy.
LYSAGHT® KILP-LOK® 406 profile is available in long lengths, therefore in most jobs, you can have one sheet from
ridge to gutter without end laps.

5. PROVEN BY TEST RESULTS

The steel profile is tested and proven by NATA registered laboratory at Lysaght Technology Centre and CSIRO
(Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) in Australia.

6. OTHER BENEFITS
a) Conforms to International Building Codes and Standards.
b) Manufactured under strict processes governed by ISO9001 Quality Management System and ISO14001
Environmental Management System.
c) Genuine material warranty (terms & conditions apply).
d) Genuine Product Certification.

 NOISE & HEAT CONTROL
REDUCTION OF RAIN NOISE
To further reduce noise created by rainfall on metal roofs, an insulation mineral wool blanket can be
placed in between two metal roof cladding in Lysaght’s Acoustic Roof System. As long as the insulation
blanket is held tightly against the underside of the roof sheeting, this will dampen the rain induced
vibration at the point of impact and a marked noise reduction would be achieved.

Otherwise, noise will only be reduced by transmission loss through the mineral wool blanket in a standard
roof system.

Lysaght’s Acoustic Roof System

has been rated and approved by
PSB Corporation (testing group). The
system was tested and proven to
meet requirements of Sound
Transmission Class 51 (STC 51). The
test was conducted in accordance with
ASTM E90 – 97.

HEAT CONTROL
The effective method to control heat is to lay
reflective foil laminate over the supports
before laying the sheeting or insulation
blanket. The insulation blanket over the foil
laminate in conjunction with vapour barrier
allows condensation control. An insulation
blanket is often provided to improve heat
insulation to the overall system.

 INSTALLATION

1. PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

When lifting roofing sheets onto roof frames to prepare for installation, ensure
all sheets have overlapping female rib facing the side where fastening is
to commence.

2. FIX THE FIRST ROW OF KL 65 CLIPS

The first run of KL 65 clips have to be positioned and fastened, one onto
each purlin, so that they will correctly engage in the female and centre ribs of
the first sheeting when the sheeting is placed over them.

Fasten clips to the purlin at each sheet, having positioned them so that the
first run of clips will be in correct relation with the building elements.

Align and fasten the remainder of the first run of clips using a string as a
straight edge.

3. PLACE THE FIRST SHEET

Position the first roof sheet over the fastened run of clips, having fastened the
clips longitudinally in relation to the eaves overhang, and then fully engage
on clips by applying foot pressure to the centre and female ribs over each
clip. If the clips foul up one of the spurs spaced along the outer free edge of
the male rib, the spur can be flattened with a blow from a rubber mallet to
allow the clip to sit down over the rib.

4. FIX THE NEXT (AND SUBSEQUENT) CLIPS & SHEETS

Position the next run of clips, one to each purlin, engage over the male ribs
of the installed sheet and fasten each clip with the recommended wafer-head
fasteners.

Place the second sheet over the second run of clips with the female rib
overlapping the male rib of the first preceding sheet, and the centre rib over
the centre rib’s up-stand of the clips.

5. ENSURE ROOFING SHEETS INTERLOCK COMPLETELY

The interlocking ribs and centre rib should be fully engaged over each clip.

The full engagement can be done by walking along the full length of the roof
sheeting being installed, with one foot in the tray next to the overlapping
female rib and the other foot applying pressure to the top of the interlocking
rib at regular intervals.

A distinct ‘click’ will be heard as the spurs along the edge of the male rib snap
into the shoulder along the female rib.

7
 6. CHECK ALIGNMENT PERIODICALLY
Occasionally check the roofing sheets to ensure they are still
parallel to the first sheet. This can be checked by taking two
measurements across the width of the fixed sheet.

The string line can be used to ensure that the ends of the roofing sheets
are in line.

7. POSITIONING THE FINAL SHEET

If the space left between the last fixed sheet and the fascia or parapet is
more than half the width of a LYSAGHT® KLIP-LOK® 406 sheet, cut the final
sheet along its length leaving the centre rib complete.

Place the cut sheet onto a row of clips, the same way as it would be done for
a full sheet.

Where the space left between the last fixed sheet and the fascia or parapet
cannot fit half the width of a LYSAGHT® KLIP-LOK® 406 sheet, fix the edge of the
final sheet at each purlin with a clip that has been cut into half.

8. FLASHINGS / CAPPINGS
Upon completion of the roofing sheets installation, the flashing will be suited to
the requirements on site to complement and improve the total waterproof /
watertight roof system.

To prevent LYSAGHT® KLIP-LOK® 406 sheets from sliding downwards in the

fixing clips on very steep roof pitches or slopes, each sheet under the flashing or
capping should be pierced-fix along the top of the sheets.

Note:
● The installation procedure for walls is similar to that described for roofs. To
prevent LYSAGHT® KLIP-LOK® 406 sheets from sliding downwards in the fixing
clips, you should pierce-fix through each sheet under the flashing or capping,
along the top of the sheets.
