SELECTION & SPECIFICATION

FEATURES:

APPLICATIONS:

The visual appeal, strength, wide cover, light weight and weather resistance of Stramit SnaptiteTM decking make it perfect for all commercial roofing applications.  Its excellent strength and ease of assembly allow for long, economical spans.  The large water-carrying capacity and weather-tightness permit very low roof pitches, leading to economies in the building structure.

Stramit SnaptiteTM decking may also be used for domestic applications.

MATERIALS:

Stramit SnaptiteTM cladding is manufactured from colour coated steel or zinc-aluminium coated steel. In some locations galvanised and severe environment colour coated steel may be available by arrangement. Colour coated steels are in accordance with AS2728 – Category 3 and, for the substrate, with AS1397. Zinc-aluminium alloy coated AZ150 and galvanised Z450 conform to AS1397.

Stramit has a comprehensive range of colours as standard.  Ask your nearest Stramit location for colour availability.

ADVERSE CONDTIONS:

Stramit SnaptiteTM cladding will give excellent durability in almost all locations. With all of its fastenings protected beneath the decking, Stramit SnaptiteTM  decking can be expected to outlast through-fixed roofing.  It is however important to choose the correct coating for each application environment.

The table below shows the suitability of coating types for different exposure conditions.

suitability of coating type	site exposure condition
	benign	moderate	severe	very severe
Zincalume® AZ150		?	?
Galvanised Z450		?
Colorbond®			?
Colorbond® Ultra	N/A	N/A		?

? Question marks indicate conditions where durability may be diminished, depending on the particular application.

The approximate site exposure conditions in the table above are defined below.

site exposure condition	distance of site from
	rough active surf	calm, still salt water	industrial emission	fossil fuel combustion
benign	1000m +	100m +	500m +	500m +
moderate	400m-1000m	0-100m	250m-500m	250m-500m

very severe	0-100m	N/A	0-100m	0-100m

The suitability and exposure tables above are guidelines only; conditions will vary from site to site. If in any doubt about the choice of coating for a particular application consult your nearest Stramit office for advice.

COMPATIBILITY:

All building products need to be checked for compatibility with adjacent materials.  These checks need to be for both direct contact between materials, and where water runs from one material to another.  The following guidelines generally avoid material incompatibility:

• For zinc-aluminium alloy coated steel, colour coated steel and galvanised steel roofs avoid copper, lead, green or treated timber, stainless steel and mortar or concrete.

• In addition galvanised steel roofs should not receive drainage from aluminium or any inert materials, such as plastics, glass, glazed tiles, colour coated and zinc-aluminium alloy steel.  Contact Stramit for more detailed information.
  

TESTING:

Stramit has in-house, purpose built, testing equipment used to design, develop and improve products for the Australian market.  In addition many Stramit products are tested or witnessed by independent organisations.  These include:

• Cyclone Testing Station (James Cook University)

• The University of Sydney

• Monash University

• CSIRO

• University of Technology, Sydney

This ongoing research and development activity ensures that Stramit remains at the forefront of innovation, design and consumer information.
