FRAMING
FOOT TRAFFIC
Care of metal panels and flashings must be exercised throughout erection. Foot traffic can cause
distortion of panel and damage to finish. Traffic over the installed system must be kept to an absolute
minimum. If continuous foot traffic is necessary for maintenance over certain areas of the roof, then a
permanent walkway should be installed.
Do not use the roof panel as a walking platform. The roof panels will not withstand the weight of a
person standing on the panel until the panel has been snapped into place and all eave/valley fasteners
have been installed. Maximum load carrying capability of the Snap-Loc 24 panel is not acheived until
the panel has been snapped into place and all fasteners installed. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in serious or fatal injuries.
When walking on the roof panels is unavoidable, walk only in the flats of the panel. Walking on the ribs
can cause damage to the panels. If Snap-Loc 24 is installed over open framing, step in the flat of the
panel only and as close to the framing as possible.
