BULLNOSING AND CRANKING
CRANKING OF PROFILED SHEETING
Cranking of a profiled sheet incorporates lateral rib castellations pressed in at uniform distances which vary according to the radius requirements.
A bullnose describes the same process, however the indentations are spaced closer together, resulting in a much tighter radius. These are most
commonly used on the sides of buildings for aesthetic purposes or to deviate from a standard cantilever detail.

Cranked sheets can be supplied in standard radii as follows:

GENERAL NOTES AND ADDITIONAL SERVICES
MATERIAL SELECTION
The coastline of South Africa is a particularly harsh environment and is high in chlorides. In urban areas, corrosion is accelerated by the presence
of sulphur emissions from industry and traffic which cause premature corrosion of steel sheeting and other metals. The choice of the correct
steel substrate and steel coating is therefore important to avoid high replacement costs and losses in rentals, etc. Please request additional
information from Safintra in this regard.

Newlok™ can be rolled on-site in lengths up to 120 metres.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Care should be taken to ensure that none of the debris arising from
the installation of a steel roof remains on the sheets after completion
of work. If nails, swarf, etc. are allowed to remain on roof sheets,
unsightly spots will soon appear. Initially these rust spots will merely
be stains from rapidly rusting fine particles of steel. If allowed to
develop further, a loss of Zinc coating in the stained areas will appear.
Nails, particles of steel, etc. will also stain and ultimately reduce the
life expectancy of sheets. Sheets are often exposed to wet cement
splashes that create an area that is subject to alkali attack. Cement
should therefore be cleaned off immediately.

STORAGE GUIDELINES
Steel sheets are normally treated with a special chromate solution
(i.e. the sheet is passivated) before leaving the coating mill. Although
this process ensures long and satisfactory protection to sheets, wet
storage stain or white rust can still occur. One of the main conditions
that may give rise to this problem is sheets being exposed to water
while stacked. This restricts air circulation between sheets. It is
therefore important that sheets remain dry and that they do not
come into contact with each other at any point if exposed to water.
If sheets cannot be stored in a dry storage space, they should be
stood on end, elevated and spaced out at the bottom. A drop in
temperature after a warm, humid day may also lead to condensation

SAFINTRA® ROOF SPACER SYSTEM
All spacer support systems are at risk during the installation stage
when they are not restrained by the sheeting and are subjected to
forces from foot traffic, temporary loading and high winds.

Accurate, close fitting and reliable bar connections are also required to
ensure the stability of any spacer support system during construction
with some systems even having to rely upon screw fixings to prevent
their bars from separating. 1

The Safintra® Roof Spacer System addresses these issues through
a combination of innovative design features. This improves system 3
stability, safety and ease of construction, reducing installation time
and costs when compared with other spacer support systems. 2
