4 NECESSARY INFORMATION

4.1 For the efficient planning and execution of thework, detailed information with regard to the followingis necessary:

a) Roof area to be covered,

b) Required daylight factor,

c) Details of sub-structure of roof (to be designedbased on wind loadings),

d) Pitch of the roof, and

e) Location and size of openings and details ofroofing accessories.

4.2 All the information stated in 4.1 shall be madeavailable by the appropriate authority responsible forthe construction of the whole building to those whoare entrusted with the work of roof sheeting beforethe work is started. Necessary drawings andinstructions for preparatory work shall also be givenwhere required.

4.3 Arrangements shall also be made for the properexchange of information between those engaged inlaying the roof covering and all o@ers whose workwill affect or will be affected.

5 MATERIAL

5.1 Plastic Translucent Sheets

Plastic translucent sheets made from thermosettingpolyester resin (glass fibre reinforced) shall conformto IS 12866.

5.2 Fixing Accessories

Fixing accessories, such as hooked, cranked, ‘U’, ‘J’and square bend hook bolts, L-bolts, roof washers, etc,shall conform to IS 730.

5.2.1 Coach screws shall conform to IS 1120.

6 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

6.1 Plastic translucent sheet made from thermosettingpolyester resin (glass fibre reinforced) are laid eitherwholly or partially in chequerboard or eaves to ridgelayouts in conjunction with asbestos cement/steel/aluminium sheet used as covering for roofs and wallsto provide daylight. In order to obtain a structurallysound and permanent roof with adequate daylight andmaximum economy, the following requirements shallbe followed.

6.1.1 Roof Plan

The roof plan shall be as simple as possible. Formationof hips and valleys should be avoided as far as possible.Isolated projections above roof should be avoided atthe design stage itself, as it is difficult to make the

junctions between such projections and the roofsheeting weatherproof.

6.1.2 Pitch of the Roof—.. . --- . . . .. . .I’he pitch or roors shall, wherever possible, bepreferably not less than 18°. Should it however befound desirable to adopt roofs with a pitch less than18°, the values prescribed in 6.1.6 for the end lapsbetween adjacent sheets shall be correspondinglyincreased and/or the joints suitably sealed inaccordance with the manufacturers recommendationsor the instructions of the engineer-in-charge.

6.1.3 Purlins/Rails

All purlins/rails shall be in one plane and shall beproperly anchored to the supporting structure. Specialcare shall be taken that the sheets do not deflect at theintermediate purlinshils in an attempt to make thesheets bear on such purlinshails.

6.1.3.1 When plastic translucent sheets made fromthermosetting polyester resin are laid wholly forproviding roofs of industrial, institutional,commercial, recreational and residential buildings, itis not practical to give standard support centres andfixing specifications since wind loads are likely to varyfrom location to location. Factors which should beconsidered when determining support centres andfixing specifications are:

a) Sheets should not pull over fasteners whensubjected to high wind gusts.

b) Deflections between supports caused by highwind gusts should be limited to span/15 andnever more than 100 mm to prevent fixingholes ovalling and tearing around fasteners.

c) When subjected to superimposed loads;deflections should be limited to span/30 andnot more than 50 mm to prevent laps openingand damaging sealants.

However, the maximum recommended support centresof different profile depth plastic translucent sheetsmade from thermosetting polyester resin (glass fibrereinforced) conforming to IS 12866 are given inTable 1.

6.1.3.2 Spacing of purlins/rails

While fixing plastic translucent sheets made fromthermosetting polyester resin (glass fibre reinforced)in conjunction with asbestos cementlsteel/aluminiumsheets in chequerboard or eaves to ridge layouts, thespacing of purlins/rails shall be arranged to suit thestandard lengths of sheets but shall not exceed themaximum recommended purlins/rails centre asdescribed in Table 2.

6.1.3.3 When a roof is being laid totally with plastictranslucent sheets made from thermosetting polyesterresin (glass fibre reinforced); the ridge purlins shallbe so fixed from the apex of the roof that main sheetfixings should not be located less than 50 mm fromends of sheets. Whenever plastic translucent sheetsmade from tbermosetting polyester resin (glass fibrereinforced) are laid in conjunction with asbestoscement/steeUaluminium sheets in chequerboard oreaves to ridge layouts, ridge purlins shall be fixed atthe same distance from the apex of the roof as governedby the respective code of practice for laying asbestoscement/steel/aluminium sheets.

6.1.4 Whenever a roof is being laid either by usingplastic translucent sheets made from thermosettingpolyester resin (glass fibre reinforced) fully or by usingthem in conjunction with asbestos cement/steel/aluminium sheet either in chequerboard or eaves toridge layouts, additional trimmers or bridging shaJlbe used between purlins at all points whereconsiderable roof traftlc is likely to occur, for example,adjoining valley or box gutters, below glazing andaround chimneys, ventilators or other uptakes.Similarly, when a course of sheets of smaller length isrequired to make up a roof slope, the closer purlinspacing necessary for to make up a roof slope, thecloser purlin spacing necessary for such sheets shouldbe arranged at eaves rather than at edges, as this willbring additional support where it is most required.

6.1.5 Hip and valley runners provided should be fixedflush with the top face of purlins and spanning betweenthem to give adequate support to the raking cut edgesof roof sheets at hips and valleys. The runners shouldrun parallel to the edge of the sheeting and placed soas to permit the fixing of the sheets and hip coveringaccessories.

6.1.6 Laps

The plastic translucent sheets made fromthermosetting polyester resin (glass fibre reinforced)while laid fully, shall be with a side lap of onecorrugation (see Fig. 1 and 2). Side laps of plastictranslucent sheets made from thermosetting polyesterresin (glass fibre reinforced) when laid in conjunctionwith asbestos cement/steel/aluminium sheets inchequerboard or eaves to ridge layouts, shall begoverned by the respective code of practice for layingasbestos cement/steeUaluminium sheets. When plastictranslucent sheets made from thermosetting polyesterresin (glass ftbre reinforced) are laid either fully or inconjunction with asbestos cement/steel/al uminiumsheets on roof pitches above 10°, the side laps shall bestitch (seam) bolted at certtres not exceeding 400 mmwhile on roof pitches below 10°, the centres shall bereduced to 300 mm, For normal roof pitches (that is,

inclinations greater than or equal to 180), the end laps(see Fig. 3) of plastic translucent sheets made fromthermosetting polyester resin (glass fibre reinforced)with each other or with asbestos cement/steeValuminium sheets shall not be less than 150 mm. Forlow roof pitches (that is inclinations less than 18°) orfor normal pitched roof in exposed positions, the endlaps shall be increased and the manufacturer shall beconsulted in such cases. The side lap shall as far aspossible, be sheltered from the prevailing winddirection. Side and end laps or plastic translucentsheets made from thermosetting polyester resin (glasstibre reinforced) between themselves or between themand asbestos cement/steel aluminium sheets shallalways be sealed on roof pitches up to 18° using masticsealant ensuring that sealant is correctly bedded intounderlapping corrugation before laying over sheets.Plastic translucent sheets made from thermosettingpolyester resin (glass fibre reinforced) shall notoverhang supports at eaves (measured as the lengthof sheet from its lower edge to the centre of bolt holes)by more than 230 mm.

6.1.6.1 While laying roof fully with plastic translucentsheets made from thermosetting polyester resin (glassfibre reinforced), wherever four corners of sheetsoverlap, two of them shall be mitred in the mannerdescribed in Fig. 4, in order to secure a perfect fit.While plastic translucent sheets made fromthermosetting polyester resin are laid in conjunctionwith asbestos cement/steel/aluminium sheets inchequerboard or eaves to ridge layouts, wherever

corners of plastic translucent sheets overlap withasbestos cement/steel/aluminium sheets, they shouldbe mitred in the same fashion as required and laiddown in the respective code of practice for layingasbestos cement/steel/aluminium sheets.

7 LAYING AND FIXING OF SHEETS

7.1 Sawing and Drillings

7.1.1 Plastic translucent sheets made fromthermosetting polyester resin (glass fibre reinforced)shall be cut as necessary with a hacksaw with 6/8 teethper centimeter. Best results are obtained if saw is heldat a shallow oblique angle. When cutting with powertools, a 40/60 grit diamond blade operating at mediumspeed (280 surface m/min) shall be used. Sheets shallbe notched using standard metal working snips. Holesin the sheets shall be drilled with standard metal bits.Holes shall not be punched. On sinusoidal profiles,holes shall always be drilled through the crown of thecorrugation and not on the valley.

7.1.2 While plastic translucent sheets made fromthermosetting polyester resin (glass tibre reinforced)are laid either fully or in conjunction with asbestoscement/steel/aluminium sheets in chequerboard oreaves to ridge layouts, for end laps, holes in the plastictranslucent sheets made from thermosetting polyesterresin (glass fibre reinforced) shall be drilled at adistance not less than 100 mm from the edge to suitthe purlins, that is, on the centre line of the purlins ifthese are of timber and square head coach screws are

It is therefore,recommended to drill the holes on the roof with thesheeting laid in the correct position. No hole shall benearer than 50 mm to any edge of a plastic translucentsheet made from thermosetting polyester resin (glassfibre reinforced).

7.2 Fixing Accessories

efficiency of fixing accessories. The area of sheetingunder the adjacent to a fixing washer is where mostfailures originate. The diameter of the washer is thusimportant. Also if fasteners are not fixed ‘square on’to the sheets and washers are out of register, washeredges can impart a quilloting action on sheets causingfailure at lower loads. Thus it is recommended toconsider the factors specified in 7.2.1.1 to 7.2.1.3 whiledetermining support centres and fixing specificationsas well as accessories.

7.2.1 The satisfactory service of a roof largely depends 7.2.1.1 Sheets shall not pull over fasteners whenupon determining the correct support centre and subjected to high wind loads.

7.2.1.2 Deflections between supports caused by highwind gusts shall be limited to prevent fixing holesovalling and tearing around fasteners.

7.2.1.3 Deflections shall be limited against sustainedsnow loads to prevent laps opening and damagingsealants.

7.2.2 Galvanized iron J- type hook bolts or crankedhook bolts, and nuts bearing on galvanized ironwashers and bitumen washers shall be used for fixingsheets on angle iron purlins.

7.2.3 Galvanized iron L- type hook bolts and nutsbearing on galvanized iron washers and bitumenwashers shall be used for fixing sheets on R.S. joist,precast concrete or timber purlins.

7.2.4 Galvanized iron coach screws bearing ongalvanized iron washers and bitumen washers shallbe used for fixing sheets on timber purlins.

7.2.5 Cadmium plated or stainless steel self-lappingscrew bearing on cadmium plated or stainless steelwashers and bitumen washers shall be used for fixingtrough section profiles directly to the supportingstructures through bottom flat troughs of sheets.

7.2.6 Galvanized iron roof bolts and nuts bearing ongalvanized iron flat washer and bitumen washers shallbe used for stitching on the sheets, fixtures like ridgecapping, comer pieces, ventilators, north light curves,etc.

IS 15224:2002

7.2.7 Where sheets are laid on tubular purlins, thefixing bolt should be designed to encompass at leasthalf the tube periphery and precaution should be takento prevent its rotation. Sections other than angles andtubes may require an adapted form of hook bolt.

7.2.8 It is essential that the bolt holes are madewatertight by the use of bituminous felt washers inconjunction with suitable galvanized iron washers.These form essential accessories to good fixing work.Fixing bolts and screw shall be 8 mm or more indiameter and the nuts of the hook crank bolts (or headsof coach screws) shall bear on galvanized iron washers(flat, curved or diamond pattern) which, in turn, shallbe embedded on bituminous felt washers (round ordiamond pattern corresponding to the shape ofgalvanized iron washer). The screws or nut shall betightened sufficiently only to seat the bitumen washerover the corrugations, so that natural movement inthe substructure of the roof may not damage thesheeting.

translucent sheets shall be in accordance with 6.1.6.Where plastic translucent sheets are laid in conjunctionwith asbestos cement/steel/aluminium sheets inchequerboard or eaves to ridge layouts, the number ofgalvanized iron bolts and number of bitumen andgalvanized iron washers required for stitching the sidelaps shall be governed by the respective code ofpractice for asbestos cement/steel/aluminium sheets.

7.2.11 The galvanized iron flat washer shall generallybe 29 mm in diameter and 1.6 mm thick with hole tosuit the required size of fixing accessory. The bitumenwasher shall be 40 mm in diameter and 1.5 mm thickwith hole to suit the required size of fixing accessory.For other shapes of galvanized iron and bitumenwashers, suitable sizes as approved by the engineer-in-charge may be used.

7.2.12 Ridge cappings shall, as far as possible, besecured to the ridge purlins by the same bolts whichsecure the sheeting. Other plastic translucentaccessories such as barge boards, eaves filler piecesand apron flashing pieces shall be secured either tothe supporting structure or to the sheeting by rootingbolts.

7.3 Laying the Sheets

7.3.1 When plastic translucent sheets made fromtherrnosetting polyester resin (glass fibre reinforced)are laid either fully or in chequerboard or eaves toridge layouts in conjunction with asbestos cementisteellaluminium sheets, before the actual laying ofsheets are started, the purlin spacing and the lengthof the sheets shall be checked to ensure that thearrangement will provide the laps required and thespecified overhang at the eaves.

7.3.2 When plastic translucent sheets made fromthermosetting polyester resin (glass fibre reinforced)are laid in conjunction with asbestos cementfsteellaluminium sheets in chequerboard or eaves to ridgelayouts, the required total number ofplastic translucentsheets shall be distributed over the entire roof area atequal pitch to ensure even daylight.

7.3.3 When the roof of a building is laid fully withplastic translucent sheets, the side of end laps of thesheets shall be in accordance with 6.1.6, When theroof of building is laid using plastic translucent sheetsin conjunction with asbestos cement/steel/aluminiumsheets in chequerboard or eaves to ridge layouts, theside and end laps of plastic translucent sheet withasbestos cement/steel/aluminium sheets shall begoverned by the respective code of practice for layingasbestos cement/steel/aluminium sheets. In either case,the course of sheets shall be so laid that thecorrugations run in continuous straight lines.

7.3.4 When a building in an exposed position andsubject to driving winds and rains is being laid fullywith plastic translucent sheets, it is advisable tocommence laying the sheets from the end opposite tothe direction of prevailing winds. When a building inan exposed position and subject to driving winds andrains is being laid with plastic translucent sheets inconjunction with asbestos cement/steel/aluminiumsheets in chequerboard or eaves to ridge layouts, thelaying of sheets should commence in the way asgoverned by the respective code of practice for layingasbestos cement/steel/aluminium sheets.

7.3.5 When the roof of a building is being fully laidwith plastic translucent sheets, they shall start at theeaves either from left to right or from right to leftdepending upon the prevailing direction of the wind.If laid from left to right (see Fig. 4), the first sheetshall be laid uncut, but the remaining sheets in thebottom row shall have the top left-hand corners cut ormitred. The sheets in the second and otherintermediate rows shall have the bottom right-handcomer of the first sheet cut, all other sheets except thelast sheet shall have both the bottom right hand comerand top left hand comer cut the last sheet shall haveonly the top left hand comer cut. The last or the toprow sheets shall all have the bottom right hand comercut with the exception of the last sheet which shall belaid uncut. If the sheets are laid from right to left, thefirst sheet shall be laid uncut and the remainingprocedure shall be reversed. When plastic translucentsheets are laid in conjunction with asbestos cementisteel/ahuninium sheets in chequerboard or eaves toridge layouts, the procedure of laying the sheets shallbe governed by the respective code of practice forlaying asbestos cement/steel/aluminium sheets.

7.3.6 The mitre described in 7.3.5 is necessary toprovide a snug tit where four sheets meet at a lap. It iscut from a point minimum 15 cm (or whatever thelength of the end lap may be) up the vertical side ofthe sheet to a point 4.5 cm along the horizontal edge.This cutting shall be done with 6/8 teeth per cm atsite.

7.3.7 When a roof is being fully laid with plastictranslucent sheets, the end of sheets at the eaves shallbe supported and the support shall be placed as nearto the margin of the sheets as practicable. Themaximum free overhang at the eaves shall be not morethan the limits specified in 6.1.6. When plastictranslucent sheets are laid in conjunction with asbestoscement/steel/aluminium sheets in chequerboard oreaves to ridge layouts, the maximum free overhang atthe eaves shall be governed by the respective code ofpractice for laying asbestos cement/steel/aluminiumsheets.

7.3.8 When a roof is being fully laid with plastictranslucent sheets for sinusoidal profile plastictranslucent sheets, fixings should be located throughthe crowns of the sheets. Trough section profile plastictranslucent sheets should be fixed direct to thesupporting structure with cadmium plated or stainlesssteel self tapping screws located in the bottom flattroughs of sheets, nuts or screws shall be tightenedlightly at first, and then fully tightened when a dozenor more sheets have been laid. On no account shallthe fixing screws or the nuts on fixing bolts be screweddown too tightly, and care shall be taken not to deflectsheets at the intermediate purlins in an attempt to makethe sheets bear on such purlins. When sinusoidalprofile plastic translucent sheets over 25 mm deep arefixed through the crowns, it is essential that shapedpacking pieces are located between the sheet andsupporting members to enable fixings to be correctlytightened without distorting the sheet profile.

8 FIXING OF ACCESSORIES

8.1 General

When a roof is being fully laid with plastic translucentsheets, required moulded plastic translucentaccessories should be selected as far as possible fromthe range of standard patterns. Special plastictranslucent fittings, if required, should be designed toconform closely to the sheet profile. When the use ofmoulded plastic translucent accessories isimpracticable, other methods as approved by theengineer-in-charge may be employed. When a roof isbeing laid with plastic translucent sheets inconjunction with asbestos cement/steel/aluminiumsheets in chequerboard or eaves to ridge layouts, theselection and fixing of asbestos cement/steel/

IS 15224:2002

aluminium accessories shall be governed by therespective code of practice for laying asbestos cementisteel/aluminium sheets.

8.1.1 Plastic translucent roofing accessories shouldbe secured to the roof as far as possible, by the samebolts which secure the sheets.

8.2 Ridge Capping

Plastic translucent ridge capping should be secured tothe ridge purlins as far as possible by the same boltswhich secure the sheets. Where this is not possible,each wing of the ridge capping should be adequatelysecured to the sheets by roofing bolts.

8.2.1 Close Fitting Adjustable Ridge Capping

The plastic translucent close fitting adjustable ridgecapping shall be designed to fit the corrugations ofstandard plastic translucent corrugated sheets laid witha side lap of one corrugation, and shall be securedwith the fixing accessories used to fasten the sheets tothe ridge purlins (see Fig. 5). Correct positioning ofplastic translucent sheets is necessary, and Fig. 6illustrates how to fit each wing of the ridge when sheetsare laid either from left to right or from right to left.Correct fitting ofplastic translucent ridge capping willbe automatic, if a template is used when fixing theplastic translucent roofing sheets.

8.2.1.1 While fitting plastic translucent close fittingadjustable ridge capping, the work shall be started fromthe left hand verge, placing first small roll wing (inner)and positioning it in such a way that the first valleyon the right hand side of the ridge wing fits into thevalley at side lap of roof sheeting. It may be necessaryto leave a piece of ridge project beyond the verge whilstfitting and cut off the unrequited portion afterwards.

In the case of a large roll wing, the wing shall bepositioned so that the first valley on the left hand sideof the ridge wing fits into the valley at the side lap ofthe roof sheeting. The ridge wing shall be trimmed atverge to suit requirements.

8.2.2 Serrated Adjustable Ridge Capping

Plastic translucent serrated adjustable type ridgecapping are supplied in pairs; the inner and outerbeing made easily distinguishable (see Fig. 7 and 8).These ridges have certain serrations suitably paintedfor distinction and, when fixing, these serrationsshall be arranged at side lap joints of the sheets, inwhich case the stagger-lapping of the two wings ofthis ridge will be automatic. Figure 8A indicatesthe method of laying and fixing these ridges.

8.3 Ridge Finial

One-piece plastic translucent ridge finial should besecured by one roofing bolt through the crown. Two-piece ridge finial should be secured to the ridgecapping and roof sheeting by one bolt through eachwing of the fitting. In addition, they should be securedto the ridge capping by one roofing bolt at the crown(see Fig. 9).

8.4 Hip Capping or Hip Tiles

The plastic translucent roof sheeting at hips shouldbe cut to the required mitre and be close butted. Thehip joint may be covered with plastic translucent two-piece plain wing hip tiles (see Fig. 10), one-piecesocketed plain wing angular hip tiles, or heavy half-

IS 15224:2002

round hip tiles. Alternatively, an apron type of plastictranslucent capping may be used for scribing on site,over the corrugations. Where the sub structure is ofmetal or concrete, the plain wing ridge should besecured through the roof sheets to the hip runners byone bolt on each side immediately above the socket.Each half-round hip tile should be secured with asingle bolt at the centre, the bolt being secured at itslower end by a metal bridging plate whose ends bearon the underside of the sheeting. On a timber roof,the hip tile should be fixed to the rafter by means ofcoach screws.

8.5 Eaves, Verges and Gable Ends

Plastic translucent accessories may be used to closethe corrugation at eaves (see Fig. 11) and at the bottomof vertical sheeting. Alternatively, plastic translucentsheeting at the eaves may be bedded in mortar if thewalls of the building are of brick, block or similarconstruction.

8.6 Top Edges and Abutments

At top edges against walling, plastic translucent apronflashing pieces should generally be used (see Fig. 12).If the wall consists of vertical sheeting, it should lapover the upstand of the flashing piece and the apronshould lap over the roof sheeting; no metal flashing isrequired. If, however, the wall is of brick or masonry,the apron should be secured to the sheeting and metalor felt cover flashing should be used over the upstandof the flashing piece.
