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.
