MANUAL HANDLING
When using unpainted, bare Galvalume panels, care should be taken to prevent staining of material.
Clean gloves should be worn at all times to prevent a reaction with salts found on bare skin. Installers
should wear rubber sole shoes to keep from scuffing material while walking on the roof. Acrylic
Coated Gavalume panels will not stain like bare Galvalume, but the same precautions should be taken.
Handling of individual panels should be done carefully and properly to avoid bending or damaging.
Snap-Loc 24 panels should be carried by grasping the edge of the panel so that the Snap-Loc 24
panel is vertical to the ground. The Snap-Loc 24 panel should not be carried with the flat of the panel
horizontal to the ground as this could cause the panel to buckle or bend in the center.
Normally individual panels can be handled by people placed every 6'-0" to 8'-0" along the length of the
panel.
