1.1 Description Of System

1.1.1 Name of the System -- Continuous Sandwich (PUF) Panels with

Steel Structure

1.1.2 Brief Description

Continuous sandwich panels are single piece, prefabricated,

modular, factory made units which consist of an insulating layer of
rigid polyurethane foam between two layers of metal sheets. The
panels comprise of PUF bonded between two sheets of Pre-coated
GI sheets of 0.5 mm thick to produce straight-to-finish panels.
Insulation core provides effective insulation and strong bonding
for better structural stability to facilitate higher loading and wider
spans. These panels are available for both wall and roof.
The system can incorporate all types of architectural features like
coving, boxes, cantilevers, projections, infill walls, mezzanine floors
etc. This system can also incorporate all types of services viz.
electrical, gas and plumbing etc. The design and engineering of the
structures is executed by following the norms & guidelines
stipulated in relevant Indian Standards.

Typical Isometric views of both roof and wall panels are shown in
Figs. 1 & 2 respectively.

1.3 Applications and Precautions to be taken

1.3.1 These panels are used as non-load bearing panels for residential
and commercial buildings, school & training centers, steel

6
 structures, modular & monolithic cabinets, management blocks &
site offices, guard room/ porta cabins, etc.

1.3.2 Precautions to be taken while lifting panels:

 To prevent panels from damage while lifting, carefully

pick up bundles one at a time.
 The recommended crane lifting method is to use nylon
straps positioned at a minimum of two points along the
length of the bundle.
 Suitable wood spreaders should be used located at the top
and bottom of the bundles at the strap position to protect
the edges of the upper and lower panels.
 Extreme care should be taken to avoid bumping and
snatching of the bundles when lifting.
 When handling panels and / or panel bundles, ropes,
steel cables or chains must not be used.
 Individual panels should never be moved in a flat position
as excessive flexing may result. Excessive flexing may
result in permanently distorts the facings and may lead to
thermal blistering. When moving a panel, it must be
turned on its edge first, then supported at each end with
appropriate no of man power required for safe handling.
 Always lift the panel from underneath, never lift a panel
from the top sheet only as it may result in joint damage
and possible delamination.
 While removing individual panel from bundle, never drag
a panel from a bundle or across other surfaces. It will
scratch and damage the panel coating / finish. Always lift
panels when removing from bundle.

The first panel shall be installed plumb/level. A spirit level or
transit shall be used on each panel. Adjoining panels shall be
installed with overlapping rib/inserting tongue-in to the groove
toward the last erected panel. Structural members shall be drilled,
if required and fasteners installed at lapped rib. A chalk line shall
be used to mark the girt location and maintain a straight line of
screws, thus avoiding miss-drilling and possible leakage. The
preferred procedure is to complete all wall sheeting before starting
the roof sheeting.

12
2.6.1 Roof Panel

2.6.1.1 Fastener installation

It must be ensured that the fasteners are installed at locations

indicated on the building drawings. It is easy to misjudge the
location of the structural member, resulting in a fastener off the
structural member or below the sealant at the end lap. The
fastener shall be driven in until it is tight and the washer is firmly
seated. A slight extrusion of neoprene around the washer is a good
visual tightness check.

2.6.1.2 Orientation of panels before lifting

For maximum weather-tightness, start laying panels from the end

of the building that will be in the lee of the worst-anticipated or
prevailing weather. It is much easier and safer to turn panels on
the ground than up on the roof. Before lifting panels on to the roof,
it must be checked that this is the correct way up and the
overlapping side is towards the edge of the roof from which side
installation will start. Bundle of panels shall be placed over or near
firm supports, not at mid span of roof members.

2.6.1.3 Roof paneling sequence

It is advised that both sides of the ridge of a building be sheeted

simultaneously. When lifting panels onto the roof frame for laying
and fastening, care should be taken to make sure all panels are
the correct way up with the overlapping side towards the edge of
the roof from which installation will commence.

2.6.1.4 Installation of the first roof panel

The roof panel shall be set in place over the inside closure ensuring
the major ribs of the panel rest properly with the inside closure.
The panel edge shall be aligned with the edge of the end wall roof
line. With the panel properly placed, the line of panel shall be
adjusted for squareness.
A nylon line projected from the eave strut by a certain distance
shall be used to give correct distance and line. A chalk line shall be
used to mark the location and maintain straight line of screws,
thus avoiding miss-drilling and possible leakage. The panel shall
be secured to the structure with appropriate fasteners. The
fasteners will be installed after the overlapping is installed.

13
2.6.1.5 Sealing the side laps

The side lap sealant shall be applied to the weather side edge of the
lower major. The sealant should only be applied to clean, dry
surfaces. Press firmly along the length of the sealant to insure
proper adhesion. The adjoining panel shall be installed positioning
the overlapping rib with care. Required size pilot holes for the lap
fasteners shall be drilled at the centre of the clearance holes in the
overlapping panel. The lap shall be stitched with the self-fastening
fasteners supplied with the screw line. Sealant shall not be placed
inside of the screw line. (Fig. 7)

Fig. 7 Roof Panel -- Side Lap Detail Fig. 8 Roof Panel – End Cap Detail

2.6.1.6 Installation of remaining roof panels

With the first panel run installed & secured and side lap sealant
applied, the second panel run may be started. The eave shall be
prepared with an inside closure and sealant. The panel shall be
positioned so that the overlapping ribs will rest properly. Proper
overhang and panel coverage shall be checked. The major ribs of
the two panels shall be stitched together and panels attached to
the purlins.

2.6.1.7 Sealing the end laps

At the panel end laps, sealant shall be placed across the full panel
below the fastener line. The panel end laps shall have a minimum
overlap located over a purlin as per respective erection drawings.
The fasteners shall be located on the centre of the flange of purlins.

seated. A slight extrusion of neoprene around the washer is a good
visual tightness check. The fasteners shall be installed by drilling
holes on the ridge and not on the valley as shown in Fig. 5.

2.6.2.2 Checking flatness and overhang

Before starting work it must be ensured that:

 the supports for cladding are truly in the same plane
 the overhangs of panels from the top and bottom supports
shall not exceed the limit, whilst also overhanging at least
50 mm into gutters. Necessary adjustments shall be made
before laying panels, because it will be difficult or
impossible to rectify later.

2.6.2.3 Positioning first panel

First panel shall be positioned before fixing to ensure that it is

correctly located in relation to other parts of the building.
It must be checked that the panel:
 aligns with the end-wall (or its barge or fascia), the type of
flashing or capping treatment to be used; and
 aligns correctly at its ends in relation to the gutter and ridge
(or parapet or transverse wall). (Figs. 11 to 14)
