Handling & Storage Atap Dinding Plafon dengan Insulation

Installing sandwich panels requires careful
handling and precise execution.
1. Preparation :
– Structural Integrity:
- Ensure the supporting structure (steel, concrete, or wood) is stable, level, and free of defects. Any deviations can lead to installation problems and leaks.
- Verify that the structure meets the design specifications and load-bearing requirements.
– Tools and Materials:
- Gather the necessary tools: screwdrivers with depth limiters, drills, saws (circular or band saws for metal), sealing tapes, lifting equipment (cranes, forklifts), and safety gear.
- Have the correct fasteners (screws) designed for sandwich panel installation
– Planning:
- Develop a detailed installation plan, including panel layout, cutting requirements, and fastening patterns.
- Familiarize yourself with the manufacturer’s instructions and technical documentation.
2. Handling & Storage :
– Transportation:
- Transport panels in their original packaging, secured to prevent damage.
- Use appropriate lifting equipment to avoid bending or denting the panels.
– Storage:
- Store panels on a flat, dry surface, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Protect panel edges and corners from damage.
- If stored outdoors, cover the panels with weatherproof sheeting.
3. Installation :
– First Panel Placement:
- The first panel is crucial for alignment. Position it accurately and securely.
- Use leveling tools to ensure vertical and horizontal alignment.
– Fastening:
- Use the correct fasteners and follow the manufacturer’s recommended spacing.
- Drive screws perpendicular to the panel surface to prevent leaks.
- Avoid overtightening, which can damage the panel.
– Panel Joining:
- Carefully align and join subsequent panels, ensuring a tight and secure fit.
- Use sealing tapes or sealants at panel joints to prevent air and water infiltration.
– Cutting:
- If cutting is required, use appropriate tools to create clean, precise cuts.
- Remove any metal shavings or debris from the panel surface.
– Sealing:
- Apply sealing compounds to all joints and around openings to ensure a weatherproof seal.
– Finishing:
- Install any necessary flashing, trim, or other finishing elements.
- Peel the plastic protection skin directly after installation
Important Considerations:
– Safety:
- Always wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves, eye protection, and safety harnesses.
- Follow safe lifting practices to prevent injuries.
– Manufacturer’s Instructions:
- Adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines for installation, as they may vary depending on the panel type.
– Weather Conditions:
- Avoid installing panels in high winds or heavy rain.
