Installation Tips

Storage: Cutting:

Do not stack TUFTEX in direct sunlight or in an enclosure subject to very high temperatures. Vertical storage indoors is preferred.
Cut single panels with a pair of snips or heavy duty scissors. Multiple panels can be cut with a circular saw (plywood blade reversed) or a finetooth hand saw.

Side and End Laps: Seal all side and end laps with a silicone sealer. Overlap sides of panel one corrugation and overlap ends a maximum of 4".

Pitch:

Plan a minimum of 1" pitch per foot of run. In heavy snow areas, plan up to 3" pitch per foot. Greater pitch = less likelihood of leaks.

Cross brace Support Install TUFTEX Vinyl panels on a maximum of 24" on center.

Structure:

TUFTEX PolyCarb can span 36" on center.

Heat and Temperature Issues:
Ventilation:

Choose the right product for your project. For projects in high heat or cold areas where the surface temperature ranges from +270°F to -40°F select TUFTEX PolyCarb. Vinyl Opaque panels are suitable for all weather conditions and surface temperatures up to 150°F. Vinyl Translucent and Clear panels are to be installed for use in milder weather conditions only, and are not recommended for locations with high UV or surface temperatures that can exceed 125°F. Never install TUFTEX panels directly over dark colored rafters or closure strips. For best results, paint (white) the top edge of the rafter or closure strip that is exposed to sunlight. Do not overlap or apply over existing roofing or lattice.
All TUFTEX covered structures need adequate ventilation to control condensation and ensure coolness. In locales where high heat and humidity frequently occur, choose TUFTEX PolyCarb panels for your project.

Fastening:

Important - Pre-drill all fastening holes. Always pre-drill holes prior to
fastening panels. The diameter of the hole should be 5/16" if using
TUFTEX fasteners. If using other fasteners, the hole must be 2/16 to 3/16" larger than the diameter of the shaft of the fastener. Do not overtighten fasteners.
