5. Important
- Please Read:
Panels must be kept dry and out of direct sunlight until ready to

exposure to the elements can cause damage to the panel’s stiffener
material and/or the vinyl protective covering.
We recommend keeping the panels covered with an opaque
heavy-duty waterproof tarp. |

6. Metposite
is shipped with a vinyl
protective covering; do not remove covering until product has
been installed on building. The only required removal
of
vinyl is to expose attachment leg of panel system prior to screw
installation.

7. Verify
substrate conditions, it is important you install Metposite on a
true flat surface, verify substrate meets allowed tolerance
for true surface application. In an application with the panels
mounted directly over solid substrate, make sure there are no bumps or
waves to wall condition. In an application with the panels mounted on
zee, cee or hat channels, make sure the zee, cee or hat channels are
correctly aligned for proper panel compression, screw attachment and
joint sealing conditions.

are many factors that need considering for this portion of the
installation; weather conditions, material type and wall types
(example: cmu, brick, wood etc).

manufacture’s joint sealing installation instructions (Enclosed in
