NAILSTRIP FOR ROOFING, CLADDING & SOFFIT

Nailstrip’s contemporary profile is well suited to modern architectural developments. Similar in appearance to Standing Seam and Snaplock, Nailstrip’s simplified installation method doesn’t require specialist tools – making it a popular alternative for installers and builders who don’t have access to Standing Seam seam closing equipment. Nailstrip panels are designed to “snap” together, offering low fuss installation.

No clips are required for the Nailstrip system. The pan widths can be customised if required using our state of the art manufacturing equipment. Nailstrip is available in 25mm raised seam and 38mm raised seam.

NAILSTRIP BUILDUP

INSTALLATION

The Nailstrip profile can be secured directly over plywood or may be used to span over timber or steel battens. Nailstrip pans are turned up at the ridge and down into gutters, particularly at low pitches when used in roofing applications.

Oil canning can be reduced by adding an ENKAMAT mesh over waterproofing membrane. This will help to allow any condensation to pass through and dry out.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Simple system to install.

Same appearance as snap lock panels.

Fast installation as no clips required, therefore good choice for standard roofing and wall cladding applications using conventional materials such as colorbond steel.

Ability to adapt to lower pitched roofs, with a 38mm seam height accepting pitch down to 1.5 degrees.

OUR EXPERTISE

We work closely with architects during the design stages to share our expertise on installation and technical details. From traditional to contemporary applications, our aluminium, zinc and copper roofing and cladding solutions are specified based on their durable, sustainable and virtually maintenance-free nature that need to withstand the elements and protect those within. Being corrosion resistant, non-combustible, architecturally appealing, their outstanding list of benefits just can’t be beaten.

MATERIALS

COLORBOND

Manufactured in Australia to Australian Standards (AS1397 and AS/NZS 2728) and tested in some of the harshest Australian conditions over the last 50 years, genuine COLORBOND® steel is far more than just ‘paint on steel’.

The COLORBOND® steel range has been developed to give great design versatility and to suit a wide range of environments. And the new COLORBOND® steel Matt range of colours create a softer, more subtle look that is both understated and contemporary.

The steel base is manufactured to meet relevant Australian Standards, ensuring strict adherence to the required grade and strength.

CORTEN

Often called “weathering steel”, Corten steel panels form a stable rust-like appearance if exposed to the weather for several years.
This protective surface layer, or patina, is produced by Corten’s metal panel chemical composition and produces anti-corrosive properties superior to many other structural steels.

DOWNLOADS

Metal cladding/roofing and especially lengthy flat-span sheet-metal panels often will exhibit waviness, commonly referred to as “oil-canning.” The degree of oil-canning and the appearance of the panels will vary depending on factors such as the length and colour of the panels, alloy, gauge, substrate condition and exposure to sunlight. Oil-canning pertains to aesthetics and not the performance of the panels and is not controlled by the contractor. The type of metal roofing panels specified can affect the degree of oil-canning. Roofing Group is not responsible for oil-canning or aesthetics. Oil-canning shall not be grounds to withhold payment or reject panels of the type specified.
