It is the responsibility of the fixing contractor to
ensure that ‘project specific’ details are compliant
to Part L2 Building Regulations (England & Wales)
and Section 6 (Scotland), prior to any site
installation.
Safety Issues
The installation of roof and wall panels on any
building must be planned carefully to ensure the
work can proceed in safety.
The roofing and cladding contractor must carry
out the necessary ‘Risk Assessments’ and prepare
the ‘Method Statements’ to suit each particular
project for their client taking into account the
detailed fixing recommendations of this installation
guide. This method statement should indicate who
is responsible for safety, and particularly what safety
equipment will be used for each stage of the work
and the sequence of work from delivery to
installation to ensure compliance with ‘current’
CDM, health and safety issues / requirements for
the safety of site operatives.

Safe Storage
To ensure panels remain in prime condition while
stored onsite, the following precautions should
be taken:
At ground level:-
• Allocate safe, clean, trade-free area.
• Prevent personnel from walking over packs.
• Store panels on a slight slope ensuring any
penetrating rainwater drains off.
• Inspect packs regularly.
• Where panels are to be stored for more than
3 months, call the Kingspan envirocare®
Technical Services on 0800 5870090.
Slope to drain water off panels
2m 2m
At roof level:-
• When storing panel packs at roof level,
depending on roof pitch, check that the
sub-structure is sufficient and capable of
supporting the weight of the packs.
• Prior to installation panel packs must be
securely tied to the roof structure to prevent
movement.
Removal of Packaging and Disposal
• Preferably at ground level in a designated
area / safe working environment.
or
Alternatively at roof level, depending on roof
pitch, in a designated area / safe working
environment with correct method of access.
• Using a suitable knife / blade carefully cut the
pack open and remove plastic film / hoods,
cardboard, polystyrene, timber etc. and dispose
in the ‘correct’ allocated waste disposal skip.
Note: Some sites will operate a recycling scheme
for waste materials.
• Exercise caution when opening packs stored at
an angle. There is a danger of panels sliding to
the side and in the direction of slope.
• Individual panels will have low tack adhesive
tabs in between and some may have protective
film applied (depending on the type of coating)
which needs to be removed prior to installation.
• Packs of panels that have had the packaging
removed at ground level and need to be lifted to
the roof level, will require ‘banding’. A propriety
band / sling system should be used, taking care
not to damage the panels.
Movement and Lifting of Panels
• The weight of individual panels for lifting can
be determined from the information on page 6
or in our Design and Construction Guide.
We recommend the use of mechanical
handling systems for the movement and lifting
of panels into position.
• Individual panels should always be handled
carefully. They should be lifted from a pack
and not dragged / slid over one another.
Roof panels should not be lifted by the end lap.

Safety Recommendations
1 Good practice recommends a fully boarded
scaffold around the perimeter of the building
with loading platforms for panels, triple hand
rails and toe boards or propriety hand rail type
system, as well as walkway stagings and safety
nets, to ensure compliance with ‘current’ CDM,
health & safety issues / requirements.
2 We advise caution when loading packs of
panels onto purlins (Kingspan Multibeams),
especially if the roof pitch exceeds 8°. Panels
must be securely tied to the roof structure to
prevent movement.
3 We recommend the use of mechanical handling
systems for the movement and lifting of panels
into position. Always check the ‘current’
certification of the crane, crane forks,
lifting beam, lifting beam / slings and airbags,
forklift or specialist lifting equipment prior to
carrying out off-loading / hoisting operation (i.e.
with correct ‘current’ SWL Certification).
4 Personal protective equipment and clothing
should be worn including gloves to avoid cuts
and abrasions to operatives.
8
5 We recommend that any panel cutting done on
site is preferably carried out at ground level or
alternatively at roof level depending on roof pitch
in a designated area / safe working environment.
Before Installing Panels
1 Before starting any project it is important
that the project specific contract drawings
are available on site, giving the details at the
various interfaces on the project. (i.e. eaves,
ridge, verge etc.), including the panel
fastener requirement diagram giving the
exact fixing type, quantity and location.
2 Prior to commencing any installation the
configuration and dimensional accuracy of the
supporting structure should be compared with
the approved plan drawings.
3 Check roof pitch is a minimum of 4° –
after deflection.
4 Steel (or timber) must be lined and levelled in
accordance with the requirements of the
contract document. Check the roof steelwork
(or timber) visually for any damage or distortion,
 paying particular attention to lines of purlin that
will support panel ends. Where these are
bowed or distorted so that they do not give a
straight bearing surface of 50mm min width,
flange extension plates will be required.
Valley and boundary wall gutters must be
securely fixed in position where applicable.
5 As work progresses across the roof, areas to be
regularly walked over or where materials are to
temporarily stored should be identified and
protected. Traffic should use walkways to avoid
damaging the finish on the panels.
At all times during the fitting of the roof, the
painted panel surface must be kept clean and
clear of debris and small objects that may
present a scratching or abrasion hazard.
Care must be taken at all times not to drop
objects on the roof or slide panels etc. across
the surface of the roof, as this is likely to result
in damage to the paint.

The principle of installing the KS1000 SF roof
panel system is similar to the KS1000 RW roof
panel system except for:-
1 Check roof pitch is a minimum of 3° – after
deflection.
3 Install the side lap stitching screws at 450mm
max centres commencing 50mm up from the
end of the panel with secondary saddle
washers fixed to crown with stitcher screws at
1500mm max centres (see detail).

2 Install the recommended main fasteners by 4 Install 6 no. tail stitching screws to valley

position with saddle washers (see detail). as detail.
Note: The number of fasteners will vary dependant on the wind
suction load. Quantities should be calculated by the Roofing
and Cladding Sub-Contractors with the assistance of the
Project Structural Engineer / LPCB Specification Requirement.
Number of fasteners will vary, minimum 3 no., when fixing to
cold rolled purlins. Do not over-tighten fastener – refer to the
fastener suppliers recommendations for settings. Any drilling
swarf must be removed from the panel to prevent damage to
the coating / corrosion.
