Fastening Sheets to Supports
LYSAGHT TRIMDEK® 1015 is pierce-fixed to timber
or steel supports. This means that fastener screws pass
through the sheeting. You can place screws through
the crests or in the valleys.
To maximise water tightness, always place roof screws
through the crests. For walling, you may use either Crest fixing for roofs
crest or valley fixing.
Always drive the screws perpendicular to the sheeting
and in the centre of the corrugation or rib.
