| INSTALLATION |
Methods:
Kanalco Ltd. are a custom
manufacturer specializing in the metal fabrication field. Installation of
Kanalco formed metal profile products is normally carried out by the
appropriate trades and experienced installers according to specifications and
approved shop drawings.
Precautions: Eliminate drainage onto profiles
from other materials, such as chloride bearing cements and other corrosive
materials.
Fasteners should be concealed as much as possible for
aesthetic reasons, and should have corrosion resistance equal to or better than
the metal profile to eliminate later repairs. If possible always use stainless
steel fasteners.
The designer's specifications should be made clear to
all trades whose work adjoins metal profiles that suitable precautions against
damage must be maintained.
