32/1000 wall sheeting (cladding) can be laid either left to right or right to left. If you require the lay right to left simply turn the sheet around, making sure the overlapping edge is at the start of the process ready for the next sheet to overlap the underlapped side (as shown).
We recommend laying away from the common prevailing wind to help prevent wind whistling and water capillary. Please note the overlapping edge is always the unfinished castle overlapping the finished castle.
Fixing screws are highly recommended to screw through the inner castle (as shown). Usually fixed in every section to have a symmetrical appearance and a strong holding into the purlins. Fixing in every purlin if possible but every two is adequate on short purlin spacings.
32/1000 wall sheeting (single skin side cladding) has 6 castles & 2 strengthening ribs in the troughs with a profile pitch of 200mm and profile depth of 32mm
We recommend using a maximum purlin spacing of 1000mm for 0.5mm and 1500mm for 0.7mm, but not going any more than 1250mm for 0.5mm and 1750mm for 0.7mm unless it’s necessary.
Stitching the sheeting overlaps are very important (as shown). Stitching the overlapping castle every 500mm is adequate but if you can fix anything up to 750mm if necessary. This will help prevent water capillary seeping underneath the sheet. Also applying lap tape or silicone isn’t necessary for wall cladding.
If the sheeting or flashings need cutting / trimming, we recommend using our Nibbler Attachment due to the clean precision cut it can offer. Angle grinders are commonly used but this will not offer a clean cut. A 110v Nibbler will be the most sufficient tool for this but our Nibbler Attachment Tool is handy if you only own a Drill.
