Product Information & Installation Manual - Page 6 of 32 - ES Wave Tile Roof Panel V1.0
 • This Notice symbol shows special procedures or points out essential
facts.

3.2 General Safety Rules for Roof Panel Installation

 Always use extreme caution on a roof, wear gloves, and safety glasses to avoid injury.
 Wear soft-soled shoes to improve traction and minimize damage to the paint finish.
 Ensure the work area is smooth, clean, and free from any obstacles.
 Never stand or walk on any part of a roof panel until it is completely secured.
 Metal panels are slippery when wet, dusty, frosty, or oily. Do not attempt to walk on a
metal roof under these conditions. Always use OSHA-recommended safety harnesses
or equipment when working on a roof.
 Ensure that all hoisting equipment, such as lifting straps, hooks, or ropes, are in good
working condition and are suitable for their intended purpose.
 Always use tools that are in a good working condition. Ensure you know how to use
the tools before doing any work.
 Always be aware of your position on the roof relative to any roof openings, roof edges,
co-workers, and penetrations.
 Oil Canning is defined as the perceived waviness of a metal panel and is an inherent
characteristic of light-gauge, cold-rolled flat metal products. In other words, it’s a visual
phenomenon that makes metal panels look wavy or somewhat distorted, especially in a
metal roof system's broad, flat areas. Improper moving, twisting, and handing of panels
can allow for more oil canning opportunities.

Storage:
 Always inspect panels for moisture accumulation. If moisture has formed, the panels
should be unbundled, wiped dry, and allowed to dry completely. Once dry, carefully
restack the panels and loosely cover them, allowing for ample air circulation.
 Bundled sheets should be stored high enough off the ground to allow air circulation
and prevent contact with accumulating water.
 We recommend covering the bundle with a tarp.
 It is important not to use tightly wrapped plastic as a cover for the bundle as it can
delay necessary ventilation and retain heat and moisture, accelerating metal corrosion.
 It is not recommended to store the panels in a bundle for extended periods of time.
 Under no circumstances, should you store the panels near or where they encounter salt
water, corrosive chemicals, ash, or fumes released inside the building or from nearby
factories such as foundries, rolling mills, and fertilizer kilns.

9 INSTALLATION
Before installing the Wave Tile panel, the eave drip and valley flashings must be installed.
The Elite Steel Wave Tile panel has exposed fasteners that has a coverage width of 39
11/16 inches and can be custom cut to lengths ranging from 2 to 46 feet. Panels longer than
46 feet require additional consideration in packaging, shipping, and erection. Wave Tile
panels are installed vertically from the eave to the ridge and from left to right. With the
first panel placed over the inside closure foam. The bottom edge of the panel should
overhang the eave-line by ½ inch. The additional panels overlap by one corrugation as
they progress to the right.

Squareness is essential
The critical point of the panel layout is at the eave line. Always align the panels with the
eaves. It is important that the panels are installed straight along this line, as any deviation
from squareness can lead to problems with the panel installation and the performance of
the roof. When installing the first three panels, use only a few screws to hold them in place.
This allows you to adjust before the panels are fully secured to the deck. To ensure
squareness, checking every third panel during installation is advisable. Once the panels
are aligned properly and the straight line is maintained, you can secure the panels in place.

Care should be taken when handling panels and should be supported or carried on edge to avoid
bowing the panel. Improper handling of the panels during installation may result in small
gaps on the sides near the tile steps. It is recommended that any such gaps be caulked with
an approved silicone-based weather resistant sealant. This will minimize any possibility of
water intrusion at the side-lap.

10.3 Valley Flashing Detail

Valley Flashing Description

Valley flashing is one of the most critical flashing components of a metal roof system.
It helps divert the water off the roof where two roof planes meet. It is recommended to
install an ice and water shield in the center of the valley to provide a layer of protection
against water infiltration. The valley flashing has an inverted V shape in the middle of
the pan.

The first section of valley flashing is installed at the eave line overhanging 3”-4” inches
and field cut as needed. Each subsequent section of valley flashing must overlap a
minimum of 6 inches, working toward the ridge. A silicone sealant should be applied at
the overlapped area between the valley flashing. Cut the bevel of the underlying valley
flashing to help maintain the valley to be installed straight and level. Secure the valley
flashings with 1 1/2" #10 screws every 1’ to 2’ just inside the valley pan on both sides,
follow your local building code. Install a universal closure foam 2″ wide x 2″ high, 4”-
6” from the valley's centerline. It is recommended to install a bead of silicone sealant
on the top of the universal closure before panel installation. Install the roof panels 3/8”
of an inch overhanging the closure foam. Fasten the roof panels 4” to 6” on center on
the valley. These screws will penetrate the roofing panel, sealant, universal foam, valley
pan, and substrate.

11 PIPE BOOT FITTINGS

Pipe Boot Description

It is important to note that these instructions are general guidelines, and it is always best to
follow the specific instructions and recommendations of the manufacturer of the flashing
boot and roofing material. Install an approved metal roofing pipe boot. This will typically
be made of pliable material, such as rubber or EPDM.
Slide the pipe boot down the pipe until it rests on the roof surface. If necessary, use water
to lubricate the sleeve, making it easier to slide down. Form and bend the base of the
flashing boot to match the contours of the metal roofing panel. It will help ensure a tight
seal around the pipe. Apply Butyl tape between the flashing boot and the metal roofing
panel. Be sure to cover the entire area where the flashing boot meets the panel. Fasten the
flashing boot to the Wave Tile panel using approved fasteners. Place the fasteners 2” to 3”
apart to create a water-tight seal.
Retro flashing boots are designed to provide a water-tight seal around pipe penetrations,
such as electric service poles, where access from the top is not possible or practical. These
boots typically have a split design that allows them to be wrapped around the pipe and
secured with snap rivets and a sealing band. This product is typically available in various
sizes to accommodate different pipe diameters.

trim to the sides of the chimney/skylight, so they will overlap the endwall trim. Cut and
fold the ends of the sidewall trim. Apply silicone sealant at all overlaps.

Always use a field fabricated flat sheet on top of chimney/skylights. Make sure you cut
the Wave Tile panel at the top of the chimney/skylight to allow room to install the flat
sheet. The fabricated flat sheet must go underneath the Wave Tile panel. If the
chimney/skylight is wider, a cricket must be installed, and 2 or more field fabricated flat
sheets may be needed. Install closure foam in-between the panel and fabricated flat sheet.
Cut the vertical ends of the flat sheet at an angle and make sure they extend over the high
rib of the Wave Tile panel on both sides of the chimney/skylight. The fabricated flat sheet
goes over the sidewall trim at the corners.

13 HELPFUL HINTS

1. Keep the Wave Tile panels dry and well-ventilated when subjected to wet conditions.
2. Please use caution, Wave Tile panels become extremely slippery when wet.
3. Best practices use a working foam mat during installation.
4. All Wave Tile panels and accessories should be installed in accordance with local
building code. As always, good tradesperson practices should be followed when
installing this product.
5. To prevent possible damage to the panel, you should always walk in the valley of a
panel where a step is located, not the rib and always wear soft-soled shoes.
6. All painted panels and flashings have a factory applied baked-on finish. Handling
and installing panels may result in some small scratches or nicks to the paint finish.
Touch-up paint is available in matching panel colors.
7. Panels should be handled carefully to prevent damage. Never pick up long panels
horizontally at their ends. Always lift panels at the edge when moving. Avoid
dragging panels, it will cause scratching and scouring to the coated surface. Lift
panels at the edge when moving. Depending on the panel size, two or more persons
should handle the panels.
8. Use a tool with a depth-locating nose or adjustable clutch on the screw gun to prevent
over-drilling and striping. All fasteners must be installed straight, not at an angle.
Seating the washer- apply sufficient torque to seat the washer - do not overdrive the
fastener.
9. When cutting or trimming, we recommend using large metal hand shears, power
shears, or nibblers. Never use abrasive metal discs under any circumstances. The heat
caused by this method of cutting can cause the paint and zinc coatings to lose

Product Information & Installation Manual - Page 31 of 32 - ES Wave Tile Roof Panel V1.0
 adhesion, and the raw metal shavings will oxidize and rust on the coating causing
permanent damage. This is not covered by the paint warranty.
10. To reduce installation time, pre-drill Wave Tile panels at the required screw
locations on the ground before installing panels on your roof.
