1.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE

.1 Installer Qualifications: Engage an Installer who has completed the Manufacturer's Approved Roofing Contractor course and is currently certified for the installation of this roof system.
.2 If required, fabricator/installer shall submit work experience and evidence of adequate financial Responsibility. The Owner's representative reserves the right to inspect fabrication facilities in determining qualifications.
.3 Source Limitations: Obtain all components of roof system from a single manufacturer, including roll goods materials if required. Secondary products that are required shall be recommended and approved in writing by the roofing system Manufacturer.
.1 Upon request of the Architect or Owner, submit Manufacturer's written approval of secondary components in list form, signed by an authorized agent of the Manufacturer.
.2 Manufacturer shall have direct authority and control over all fabrication of steel components as well as the raw materials used in their fabrication.
.4 Source Quality Control: Manufacturer shall have in place a documented, standardized quality control program such as ISO-9001 approval.
.5 Engage the Manufacturer's Field Representative to conduct required periodic inspections of work in progress and shall furnish written documentation of all such inspections.

1.4 DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

.1 Thermal Expansion and Contraction:
.1 Completed metal roofing and flashing system shall be capable of withstanding expansion and contraction of components caused by changes in temperature without buckling, producing excess stress on structure, anchors or fasteners, or reducing performance ability.
Note: The design temperature differential for thermal expansion and contraction is the difference between the hottest and coldest panel surface temperature. The differential temperature should be based on the temperature range during the anticipated life cycle of the system, not the temperature change during a single year. Studies by the Army Corps of Engineers recommend this range to be 160ºF to 240ºF or more depending on climate, insulation, materials, and surface color.
.2 The design temperature differential shall be not less than [insert design temperature differential (200ºF)].
.3 Interface between panel and clip shall provide for unlimited thermal movement in each direction along the longitudinal direction.
.4 Location of metal roofing rigid connector shall be at roof ridge unless otherwise approved by the Project Architect. Metal ridge connector may require design as per job conditions by specified manufacturer.
.2 Uniform wind load capacity:
.1 Installed roof system shall withstand negative (uplift) design wind loading pressures complying with the following criteria. Anchor clips shall be installed exactly as spacing given. Each of the following is necessary to determine the appropriate design wind pressure for roof components. Please contact a Garland sales representative for assistance in determining the proper wind uplift design criteria. Typical selections are shown; however, every structure requires detailed attention for proper system design.
a) Design Code: ASCE 7-05, Method 2 for Components and Cladding.
b) Safety Factor: 1.650 after any load reduction or material stress increase.
c) Category [I, II, III, or IV] Building with an Importance Factor of [0.77, 1.00, or 1.15].
d) Wind Speed: [contact Garland sales rep] mph.
e) Ultimate Pullout Value: [contact Garland sales rep.] pounds per each of the two fasteners holding the panel anchor to the roof decking or framing system.
f) Exposure Category: [A, B, C, or D].
g) Design Roof Height: [contact Garland sales rep.] feet.
h) Minimum Building Width: [contact Garland sales rep.] feet.
i) Roof Pitch: [contact Garland sales rep.] inches per foot.
Note: Hips and ridges are considered as Zone 1 field of roof for roof slopes of 10 degrees (2 inches per foot) or less.
Roof Area Design Uplift Pressure:
Zone 1 - Field of roof [contact Garland sales rep.] psf
Zone 2 - [Eaves, ridges, hips,] and rakes [contact Garland sales rep.] psf
Zone 3 - Corners [contact Garland sales rep.] psf
.2 Capacity shall be determined using pleated airbag method in accordance with ASTM E1592, testing of sheet metal roof panels. Allowable safe working loads shall be determined by dividing the ultimate test load by the safety factor specified above.
.3 Uniform Positive Load Capacity.
.1 The installed roof system shall be capable of resisting the following positive uniform roof loads: Roof Live Load of 20 psf; Roof Snow Load of [center required snow load here] psf.
.2 Dead Load: Loading of the roof structure, due to tear off of existing, and/or installation of new roofing materials shall not exceed the present loading due to weight of the existing roofing system. [contact Garland Sales Rep] psf is being removed from the roof through tear off as specified in section 3.0. [contact Garland Sales Rep] psf will be added to the weight of the existing roof through installation as specified in section 3.0. Total addition of weight to the roof structure is [contact Garland Sales Rep] psf.
.3 Capacity to resist positive loads shall be determined by empirical calculations in accordance with AISI. Calculation shall be sealed by a registered professional engineer.
.4 Installed roof system shall carry positive uniform design loads with a maximum system deflection of L/180 as measured at the rib (web) of the panel.
.4 ASTM E283: Static pressure air infiltration (doors, windows, curtain walls):
.1 Pressure Leakage Rate
a) 1.57 PSF 0.0007 cfm/sq.ft.
b) 6.24 PSF 0.0002 cfm/sq.ft.
c) 20.0 PSF 0.0036 cfm/sq.ft.
.5 ASTM E331: Static pressure water infiltration (doors, windows, curtain walls):
Pressure Result
5 Gal./Hr. per S.F. and Static No Leakage
Pressure of 20.0 Psf for 15 minutes
.6 ASTM E1680: Static pressure air infiltration (roof panels):
.1 Pressure Leakage Rate
a) 1.57 PSF 0.0012 cfm/sq.ft.
b) 6.24 PSF 0.0001 cfm/sq.ft.
c) 20.0 PSF 0.0011 cfm/sq.ft.
.7 ASTM E1646: Static pressure water infiltration (roof panels):
Pressure Result
5 Gal./Hr. per S.F. and Static No Leakage
Pressure of 20.0 Psf for 15 minutes
.8 Capacities for gauge, span or loading other than those tested may be determined by interpolation of test results within the range of test data. Extrapolations for conditions outside test range are not acceptable.

1.5 DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING

.1 Manufacturer's responsibilities:
.1 All roof panels shall be shipped from the manufacturer with strippable film or similar packaging material separating the individual panels to minimize flexing, stressing, scratching or otherwise damaging the material during transit to the job.
.2 Fully cover steel with tarpaulins or similar protective cover during transit to prevent dirt and debris from coming in contact with the finished goods.
.2 Installer's responsibilities:
.1 Stack pre-finished materials to prevent twisting, bending, abrasion and denting and elevate one end to facilitate moisture run-off.
.2 Unload roof panels using a boom or crane, supporting the panels in at least two locations during lifting, and never lift more than three panels at a time.
.3 Protect moisture-sensitive materials and water-based from the weather.
.4 Inspect materials upon delivery. Reject and remove physically damaged or marred material from project site.
