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.
