Storage and Handling of product on Site

• Products manufactured by Peer Industries are produced from coated steel coil material which is classified as non hazardous material.
• Products are supplied in varied pack and sub pack quantities and should be handled in accordance with the recommendations contained in AS 1470
• Storage of metal products should be in accordance with Peer Industries recommendations as listed below.
• Top Hats, backing strips and expanded foam EPDM seal should be stored in dry areas free from dirt, oil and airborne contaminants such as acids and salt sprays.
• Where possible all material used in the construction of facade walls should be delivered to site prior to installation and handled in a manner that reduces the risk of damage.
• All material should be kept dry in an area where accidental damage cannot occur.
• All framing should be sheeted as soon as possible after installation to protect the coating
• Steel products should be used as soon as possible after delivery.

Peer Façade System design capacities

The design capacities of Peer Façade System are in Limit state format and are based on AS1170.2 – 2002 – Wind Loads.

The top hat capacities in table have been calculated in accordance with
AS4600- cold formed steel structures. The deflection of the Top hats is based on serviceability factor of 0.6 x ultimate wind loads and is limited to Span /240.

The peer façade system can be used for cyclonic wind areas – region C & D based on wind pressures.

It is the responsibility of the Project Engineer to specify the connection of top hats to the support structure. Minimum 12g screw on each leg of top hat i.e. two 12g screws at each crossing of top hat & purlin.
