minimize possibility of leakage. Cover and seal fasteners and anchors as required for a tight
installation.
D. To avoid material tearing, provide cuts with rounded notching tool or cut to pre-drilled hole. Only
use smooth edge (non-serrated) shears and snips for zinc cutting.
E. Provide indirect attachment of exposed zinc with concealed “keeper” whenever possible. Avoid
exposed and direct fastening especially at lap locations to allow movement.
1. Form and fabricate sheets, seams, strips, cleats, edge treatments, integral flashings, and
other components of metal wall cladding to profiles, patterns, and drainage arrangements
shown and as required for water shedding construction. Ensure that all shop & field
fabricated bends have an acceptable “rounded” or radius bend. NO SHARP BREAKS.

(or prior if film covers any concealed seam areas) with care to avoid damage to finish and in
accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.
B. Clean exposed metal surfaces of substances that would interfere with uniform oxidation and
weathering and as recommended by panel manufacturer and maintain in a clean condition during
construction. Never apply cleaner directly to zinc surface.
C. Ensure that cleaning by other trades working in proximity to zinc installation is in accordance with
