CUSTOM ORB® CUSTOM BLUE ORB®

Product catalog summary
Introduction
CUSTOM ORB® and CUSTOM BLUE ORB® are corrugated steel profiles used for roofing and wall cladding, valued for their strength, lightweight nature, and ease of installation. CUSTOM BLUE ORB® is tailored for curving applications, aligning with traditional Australian architectural styles.
Material Specifications
The profiles are crafted from ZINCALUME® and COLORBOND® steel, adhering to Australian standards. ZINCALUME® features an aluminium/zinc/magnesium alloy coating, while COLORBOND® is pre-painted and available in various colors, including variants like COLORBOND® Metallic, Ultra, and Stainless for specific environments.
Dimensions and Masses
Sheets are custom cut with specified masses for different thicknesses (BMT). Tolerances for length and width are provided, along with maximum sheet lengths before expansion joints are necessary.
Support Spacing
Details on maximum support spacings for CUSTOM ORB® and CUSTOM BLUE ORB® are provided, considering wind pressure and roof traffic, with specific span types and capacities outlined.
Curving and Installation
CUSTOM BLUE ORB® is suitable for curving, with minimum curving radii specified. Installation guidelines cover fastening methods, side-lap and end-lap procedures, and laying techniques to ensure weather-tightness.
Wind Pressure Capacities
Tables outline wind pressure capacities for different span types and thicknesses, based on serviceability and strength limits.
Environmental Considerations
Guidance is provided for use in marine, industrial, or corrosive environments, including minimum roof pitch and rainfall capacities.
Sheet Coverage and Fastening
Guidelines for roofing sheet installation specify the number of sheets required for different roof widths and the recommended number of fasteners per sheet, emphasizing placement over firm supports to prevent leaks.
Fastening Specifications
Specifications for fasteners are detailed based on support type (steel or timber) and material thickness, listing various fastener types and their applications, including crest and pan fixing.
Walking on Roofs
Instructions for safely walking on roofs recommend walking in the pans and over supports to distribute weight evenly and prevent damage.
Maintenance
Regular washing of external surfaces is advised to ensure longevity, especially in areas not exposed to natural rainfall.
Storage and Handling
Products should be kept dry and handled carefully to avoid damage, with warnings against contact with incompatible materials like lead and copper.
Cutting and Swarf Management
Recommendations for cutting metal sheets include using a circular saw with a metal-cutting blade, stressing the importance of cleaning up metallic swarf to prevent staining.
Sealed Joints and Simple Fixing
For sealed joints, screws or rivets with a suitable sealant are recommended, highlighting the ease of fixing CUSTOM ORB® and CUSTOM BLUE ORB® with hex head screws.

MAXIMUM SUPPORT SPACINGS The maximum recommended support spacings are based on testing in accordance with AS 1562.1:1992, AS 4040.1:1992 and AS 4040.2:1992. Roof spans consider both resistance to wind pressure and light roof traffic (traffic arising from incidental maintenance). Wall spans consider resistance to wind pressure only. The pressure considered is based on buildings up to 10m high in Region B, Terrain Category 3, Ms=0.85, Mi=1.0, Mt=1.0 with the following assumptions made: ROOFS: Cpi=+0.20, Cpe=-0.90, Kl=2.0 for single and end spans, Kl=1.5 for internal spans.

INSTALLATION FASTENING SHEETS TO SUPPORTS CUSTOM ORB® (and CUSTOM BLUE ORB®) are pierce-fixed to timber or steel supports. This means that fastener screws pass through the sheeting. You can place screws through the crests or in the valleys. To maximise watertightness, always place roof screws through the crests. For walling, you may use either crest or valley-fixing. Crest xing cladding to timber support. TRIMDEK® for roof or walls Always drive the screws perpendicular to the sheeting, and in the centre of the corrugation or rib. Don’t place fasteners less than 25mm from the ends of sheets. SIDE-LAPS...
