VERSATILE
Versatile® is a premium roofing profile with the appearance of tiles but the strength and lightweight advantages of steel. It is available in a range of colours and in various thicknesses. Local manufacture ensures that Versatile® is available in even the smallest quantities and may be supplied in bespoke lengths.
All this highlights Versatile® as a lightweight, durable and beautiful product that is ideal for the most discerning user with continuous sheet lengths ensuring water tightness. The tiled profile lends the visual effect of roof tiles combined with the security benefits of roof sheeting. The flexibility of steel makes this tile profile suitable for over-roofing of thatched roofs, round or curved roofs and otherwise limiting roof shapes.
SAMPLE SPECIFICATION
The roof shall be Safintra Versatile® profile in 0.4mm Zincal® or Colorplus® material. The profile shall be roll-formed with 4 large corrugations at 185mm centres giving an effective cover width of 740mm and a step every 300mm to a depth of 15mm. The rib height shall be 25.5mm.
MATERIAL OPTIONS
NOTE 1
Versatile® does not get cranked in South Africa.
NOTE 2
During installation, clean the roof daily by removing all swarf, pop rivets and unused fasteners or any other debris.
NOTE 3
Versatile® is a handed sheet with a capillary break on one side and should be installed accordingly.
PURLIN SPACING
LENGTH AND ROOF PITCH
Safintra recommends the use of Fixtite™ fasteners. Refer to Corrosion Class table under Fixtite™ Fasteners.
Note 5
The ridges have matching notches on either side. During installation, ensure that the Versatile® sheets are lined up to fit the notches on both sides of the roof. If laying sheets from left to right on the one face, the sheets on the opposite face should be laid starting from the same side.
*Refer to the Safintra Technical Department for more information or raise any enquiries in writing to info.safintrasa@safalgroup.com
When using Versatile® sheeting, the recommended minimum roof pitch is 10°. Versatile® sheeting can be ordered in any length, subject to transport limitations, up to 13.2 metres. Longer lengths require special transport arrangements.
A length variation range of +10mm or -0mm, and a width tolerance of ±5mm is permissible. This applies to straight sheet lengths only.
Roll Top Ridges
Versatile® is sold as a complete system, with its own distinctive roll top ridges which are designed to complement the profile. The roll top ridge may also be notched to allow it to seat in the profile as a closure.
Note 6
Note that when using Aluminium material on galvanized steel purlins, the use of an isolation tape or similar to prevent the bridging of the two dissimilar materials is recommended. Should the two metals have direct contact it will ultimately result in the manifestation of bimetallic corrosion, and the service life of the Aluminium will be compromised.
