GLAZING SYSTEM LAYOUT
It is important to follow recommended system layouts for best results.
You will find
illustrations of these layouts for both base and cap extrusions on Illustrations
4-6 of
these Guidelines. Note that base and cap cuts are
often different, with
butt cuts
used in base layouts to allow for proper drainage and miter cuts used in
cap to
provide a weather-tight, good looking installation. Also note that vertical
and
overhead installations are laid out differently. When measuring and cutting
SureSeal keep in mind that the cap and base are of different widths. Intermediate
extrusion locations, for example, require the cap to be 7/16” longer
than the base.
We do not recommend overhead use of Sure Seal with
a slope less than 3/12. We are aware of many installations with less than this slope but
extreme
care must be taken in flashing and sealant details to prevent leakage.
If
uncertain about your application consult your local architect, roofer,
or contractor for
details on how to properly flash your roof. Also read the flashing
information here. |
