Equipment Recommendations
•	
Personnel cutting panels should always wear safety glasses, gloves and long sleeve shirts. 
•	
Panel cutting should take place prior to installation when possible.
•	
Use care when using saws to avoid panel delamination; make sure the blade is sharp and 
let the saw cut at its own pace - do not force. 
•	
Use the following cutting tools to avoid panel damage: 
	
o
Circular Saw with metal cutting blade or panel thumper blade
	
o
Nibblers
	
o
Panel saw
•	
The use of abrasive saws/grinder blades will 
damage the paint finish and metal facings 
•	
For small penetrations, cut each panel face  
with a portable router, then cut the foam with  
a serrated knife.  Metal flashings may be cut  
with power snips, nibblers or hand snips. 
Cutting Recommendations
•	
Place the panel on padded sawhorses.
•	
Clean any surface grime and debris off panel face to be cut with clean rag.
•	
Mark cut line with chalk or washable felt tip marker.
•	
Masking tape may be applied on both sides of cut line to minimise panel scratching. 
•	
Recheck measurements and cut with appropriate tool.
•	
Remove burrs at cut edges with deburring tool. 
•	
Metal shavings from cutting and drilling should be removed as panels are erected using 
a soft bristle brush or clean cotton rag. 
•	
For general cleaning, use a low pressure power wash with plain water. If necessary, 
use carwash soap or a 5% solution of mild laundry detergent. Use a clean cotton rag, 
sponge or soft bristle brush as required. Rinse thoroughly. 
•	
Sealants, grease, tar and wax can be removed from panels and trim by using WD-40. 
Apply to a clean cotton rag, and avoid smearing over a large area. Then follow up with 
general cleaning instructions as above. 
•	
For rust stains, remove the source (typically metal filings), then clean the affected area 
using one of the following methods: soap and water, or citrus oil based cleaning fluids.
•	
Concrete/mortar splatter must be washed off immediately with a high pressure wash and 
mild detergent. 
•	
Do not use solvents, wire brushes, steel wool, or any other abrasive method to clean the 
painted surface of panels.
•	
Touch-up paint is for minor scratches only. 
•	
Colour coded touch-up pens can also be used for small scratches.
•	
Test all touch up colours on an offcut piece of panel to ensure that the  
paint colour is a correct match prior to applying to the finished roof section
•	
Clean affected area with a clean cloth, and apply touch-up in the scratch 
using a fine artist brush. 
•	
Allow 30-45 minutes for tack free and 24 hours for complete drying.
