PRePaRInG THe eave
After installing the first run of insulation, prepare the eave for the first roof panel by applying
sealant tape along the eave outside of the insulation and leaving release paper in place . Sealant
must be applied in a straight line and without voids . Do not stretch the sealant . Use a knife to cut
if necessary . Cut an inside closure strip as shown and place starter piece on top of the sealant
(removing protective paper from the sealant only as required) . Center the first major rib with edge
of the endwall frame . Splice a full closure to the starting closure and apply along the top of the
eave sealant . If roof is subject to ice and snow build-up, the splice in the closure strip must be
caulked to ensure weathertightness .
