PERMALITE LT7®

Product Description and Features

PERMALITE LT7® is a roofing profile made from marine grade aluminium alloy. The versatility of this profile is due to its strength, water carrying capacity, fixing economy and eave closure features.

• Long lasting, durable, lightweight alternative to other cladding materials.
• High thermal insulation. This is significant in reducing the operating cost of air conditioning.
• Minimal maintenance to remain corrosion free.
• The lighter mass of aluminium can provide a substantial reduction of the cost of transport to remote locations.
• It is widely used for roofing and can be reversed to provide a bold effect on walls.

Note:

• Galvanic corrosion may occur when aluminium, in the presence of water, is placed in contact with metals other than alloys of aluminium, non-magnetic stainless steel or zinc. Direct contact with zinc coated steel is not recommended in marine or industrial environments.

Material Specifications

PERMALITE® profiles are manufactured entirely from marine grade aluminium alloy with exceptional resistance to corrosion in marine or industrial environments.

The profiles are available in three finishes:

• Mill Finish - a smooth lustrous finish which will dull relatively quickly and enhances corrosion resistance.
• Standard Finish - stucco embossed mill finish, which reduces the specular reflectance of mill finish sheet.
• Painted Finish - a range of quality painted finishes are available.

PERMALITE® Roof and Wall Sheet may be supplied prepainted on one or both sides.

Aluminium provides a superior painting base for paint systems. Before roll forming, the paint is applied to the coiled sheet by reverse roller coating and heat curing on paint lines employing the latest painting technology.

The paint systems commonly used are:

1. Polyesters - These coatings have outstanding colour and gloss retention characteristics and are suitable for exterior roofing and walling applications in all but the most severe environments.
2. Fluorocarbons - Premium coatings with excellent weatherability and durability. These coatings are recommended for severe marine and industrial environments.
