General notes
Live Loads:
Maximum distributed live load 0.25kPa.
Roofs in Alpine areas:
Designer must refer to ARCPANEL for specialist advice regarding snow
loadings
Deflection Limits:
The ARCPANEL span tables have been provided with specific deflection
limits indicated for Serviceability wind speeds. The building designer must
take all necessary care to select an appropriate panel thickness for their
specific situation, taking into account the amount of potential roof panel
movement relative to any attached non-structural elements, such as
internal wall partitions and window frames etc. The building designer must
also make allowance for deflections which can exceed those in the tables
when wind speeds are occasionally above the designated serviceability
wind speed during extreme weather conditions.
Cantilever Deflections:
Note that cantilever deflections will depend on the backspan, rigidity
of supports, building geometry and building permeability. Cantilever
deflection can be up to (cantilever length) / 50 at serviceability wind
speeds. The building designer must take all necessary care to select an
appropriate panel thickness for their specific situation taking into account
the amount of potential roof panel movement at the ends of and along
the sides of cantilevered sections of the roof, relative to any adjacent
attached flashings, downpipes, screen partitions and walls. The building
designer must also make allowance for cantilever deflections which can
exceed (cantilever length) / 50 when wind speeds occasionally exceed
serviceability wind speeds during extreme weather conditions. Cantilever
deflections due to self weight can be up to (cantilever length) / 500.

The above is the recommended fixing schedule for the ARCPANEL Aquatek roof panels, however in some situations additional
fixing and/or different spacing may be required due to wind loads, structural requirements etc.
The building designer will need to be consulted to confirm that the above fixings will be adequate for the individual project.
ARCPANEL recommends that an experienced installer is used for fixing and finishing of the ARCPANEL Aquatek roof panels.

The above is the recommended fixing schedule for the ARCPANEL Ecotek roof panels, however in some situations additional
fixing and/or different spacing may be required due to wind loads, structural requirements etc.
The building designer will need to be consulted to confirm that the above fixings will be adequate for the individual project.
ARCPANEL recommends that an experienced installer is used for fixing and finishing of the ARCPANEL Ecotek roof panels.

NON CYCLONIC ONLY
(FOR CYCLONIC CONTACT ARCPANEL)
As shown in the following details, the ARCPANEL Aquatek
roof panel can be installed from left to right (left hand) or
right to left (right hand), this is normally determined prior to
undertaking of the workshop drawings.
STANDARD ROOF PENETRATIONS - NOTE
If the (non-cyclonic) roof penetration is a maximum of 760mm wide
by 1200mm long, and is positioned within the first third of the panel
span, is 800mm minimum from the support, and has the continuous
fully welded 2mm thick C-Channel, then the standard span
tables apply.

Should a specific installation direction be required please

advise ARCPANEL at time of order. Direction of lap is
determined by looking from the gutter end of the roof panel.

ROOF DIAPHRAGM ACTION CAPACITY

W = Ultimate Limit state horizontal wind Ioad applied by top of wall onto edge of roof Minimum Fixings to Bracing Wall Structure
B = Length of wall between bracing walls (as per plan) in metres • Every second crest at Ioad bearing supports
L = Length of Aquatek roof panel (in direction of horizontal force) (where panel is 90° to bracing wall)
which will transfer the shear force into the bracing walls - in metres • For V� 1.5kN/m fixings at 200mm centres along side edges of panel
V= W x B � 1.5 kN/m (Ult) (where panel is parallel to bracing wall)
2L • For V� 3.0kN/m (Ult) fixings at 100mm centres along side edges of panel
(where panel is parallel to bracing wall)

ARCPANEL roof diaphragm action assumes there is adequate structural connection through the full length of the building
along supporting walls and beams, capable of resisting the resulting overall tension and compressive loads caused by any
ARCPANEL roof diaphragm action, as would be normally required in a traditionally braced roof.
For values of V between 1.5 and 3.0 kN/m (Ult) it is recommended that a continuos steel RHS section or similar be used to
provide the necessary overall tension / compression capacity.

 ARCPANEL Aquatek Panel - Acoustic Properties
DESIGN

ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE TABLE 11

INTRODUCTION
To predict the Sound Transmission Loss as an Rw value together with the correction for
traffic noise Ctr which is also used for evaluation of aircraft noise intrusion. The Sound
Transmission Loss and Ctr are required for the 100mm, 125 mm, 140 mm, 175 mm and
200 mm panel.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A pre-fabricated insulated panel in a Spandex profile comprising steel sheeting which
is bonded to both sides of a profile EPS core. The cover width of the sheet is 700 mm,
the top sheet is Colorbond Ultra Zincalume which is galvanised. The sheet material
thickness is 0.42 BMT G550 steel. The bottom sheet is the same technical make up as
the top sheet. The roof panel is supplied in thicknesses of 100 mm, 125 mm, 140 mm,
175 mm and 200 mm.

INFORMATION IN WHICH THE ASSESSMENT IS BASED

The assessment is based on acoustic laboratory testing of the Sound Transmission Loss
carried out at the Lorient Acoustic Laboratories at Banyo. These tests were carried out in
2007.

Also studies have been made by this office of the vibration transmission through fire
retardant polystyrene (EPS) and PIR panels of various thickness. Laminates either
side of the insulation panel have included steel panel, fibrous cement sheeting and
concrete panels. The findings of the vibration transmission tests have shown that the
rigid insulation panels completely take over the acoustic dynamics of the system and
dominate the performance irrespective of the thickness of the insulation. Whilst the
thermal properties can significantly change as the thickness extends from 75 mm up
to 250 mm the acoustic properties remain relatively constant and the overall acoustic
performance of the laminates is dominated by the polystyrene foam core and as a result
there are very small acoustic changes.

SERVICES
The ARCPANEL Aquatek roof panels incorporate a service
core at panel joints ie. @ 762 mm approx c/c. The core is
30 mm in diameter and runs the full length of the panel.

Electrical fixtures are best placed on panel joins where

possible. It is advisable that the electrical contractor is
present during the installation of the ARCPANEL Aquatek
roof panels.

panels can be drilled or a circular opening cut for inlet or

- Electrical fixtures that are not on the panel joints can
be wired by drilling an opening or by pushing a heated

rod sideways or use a long auger bit and drill into the
polystyrene core to the required outlet. Panel Cover

ELECTRICAL WIRING, CABLE INSTALLATION AND
COMPATIBILITY: 
ARCPANEL insulated panels incorporate a service duct at
panel joints. The service duct is typically 30mm diameter
and runs the full length of the panels. It is recommended
that the electrical contractor is present during the
installation of the ARCPANEL roof panels.

ARCPANEL recommends cables are sheathed inside EPS-FR Insulation Core

flexible conduits inside the service ducts. When cables are
Ceiling Sheet
installed without conduits, it is recommended that cable
types used do not contain PVC (plasticizers) and therefore
do not exhibit any associated migration issues. Service Core

Certain groups of plasticizers used in the PVC compounds

of traditional PVC/TPS cables are soluble in aromatic
polymers and petroleum based products such as: styrene,
polystyrene (EPS), polyurethane (PUR) and bituminized
papers. The breakdown effect of migration is mainly long
term, but can be exacerbated by the size of the surface
contact area and cable loading.
Compatible Cables with Polystyrene (EPS) include LSOH,
LSZH type cables providing environmental benefits:
Examples = Nexans – Envirolex Flat, Prysmian - Afumex
Cables
Derating due to completely surrounded insulation:
The cable type (which ever used) may require to be
de-rated to suit a “completely surrounded insulation”
condition for the current-carrying capacity if there’s more
than one circuit. The electrical engineer would specify the
current loading and determine the de-rating based on the
number circuits required for the installation, as per the
cable standards AS/NZS 3008.1.1:2017 (AU) and AS/NZS
3008.1.2:2017 (NZ).
Panel Cover
WIRING SYSTEM PROTECTION:
Depending on the panel thickness, there may be a
requirement to provide protection against mechanical
damage, as per AS/NZS 3000:2018. Protection is required
if the installed cable is concealed within 50mm of an
accessible surface. Wiring systems must not be installed
through any space formed between the panel and its
immediate supporting member.
Where protection of a wiring system is required, the wiring
system shall be (any one or more of the following):
Provided with adequate mechanical protection to prevent
damage; or Provided with an earthed metallic armouring,
screen, covering or enclosure; or Protected by an RCD with
a maximum rated operating residual current of 30 mA.
LOCATION OF FANS AND LIGHTING:
Locate fans and lights away from panel lap joint by drilling
horizontally through the foam using a auger drill bit and
then using the appropriate diameter metal-holesaw, drill
through the underside of the steel sheet to required depth.

 ARCPANEL Aquatek Panel - Internal Junctions (Corrugated)
DETAILING

Internal Wall/Ceiling Junctions

The junction between the wall and the ceiling can be
completed either of two ways;
Metal Infill can be used to infill the void between the
roof panel and the top of the frame, it is attached to the
wall frame prior to installing the lining. It can be used
on either the inside or outside or both sides of the wall.
When attaching the corrugated infill, be sure to leave
a 1-2mm gap between the infill and the ceiling surface,
and then fill with appropriate flexible sealant. See
product specific Installation Manual for details.
FOAM INFILL AND CORRUGATED INFILL
When the corrugated infill is not used, the plasterboard (COLOUR MATCH CEILING SOFFIT)
or internal lining is finished just below the underside of
the Roof Panel.
Note: Square setting of the plasterboard lining to the
wall is not recommended.
In both cases the suggested finish to the plasterboard
is a standard casing bead.

• Care must be taken to avoid damage to laps and

corners, as this will affect the overall finish of the
product.
• Curved panels will normally be supplied to site FOAM INFILL ONLY WITHOUT CORRUGATED INFILL
upside down. If this is the case, it will be necessary
to turn the panels over prior to installation.
• Zincalume sheeting protective film must be removed
if exposed to the sun for long periods of time.

Hipped Roof Detail

The figure below provides details on how the ARCPANEL Aquatek roof panel is used on hipped roofs, or in the case of a
verandah roof, a 90 degree return. In the case of hipped roofs, all panels are to be cut on site, ARCPANEL does not pre cut
any roof panels. The roof is laid and marked as would be a conventional roof sheet, care is taken to include the lap when
measuring and cutting panels.

GENERAL NOTES TO READ BEFORE YOU USE THIS

GUIDE
This Manual has been prepared for a range of roofing and
walling applications including water drainage systems,
using products manufactured or supplied by ARCPANEL.

PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
All erection and connection details are to be made in
accordance with the relevant standard connection details
drawing contained in this guide and must be installed in
accorance with SA HB39 installation code for metal roof
and wall cladding.

We recommend you get professional advice to ensure

your particular needs are adequately met.

Before you commence construction:

a. you should check with your local government
authority to see if any form of prior permission or
approval is required;
b. if you want to build or construct any attached
structure, you should seek advice from a suitably
qualified engineer to verify the capacity of your
existing structure to withstand any additional load
arising from the attached structure. You should
also check with your local government authority
to determine any specific requirements for the
attachment to existing structures;
c. you should check with your local workplace health
and safety authority to see what safety measures you
need to put in place prior to and during construction.
It is the responsibility of the installer/erector to ensure
all local safe work practices are adhered to and the
safety of the whole site is maintained at all times.
To ensure maximum lifespan of your building, consult
your nearest ARCPANEL branch for information regarding
maintenance, handling, storage and any other technical
assistance you may require.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Coated steel products can be damaged by some
environmental conditions including industrial, agricultural,
marine, intensive animal farming, swimming pools or
other aggressive conditions. If any of our products are
to be used in these conditions, or unusually corrosive
environments, seek advice from ARCPANEL.
Keep the product dry and clear of the ground. If stacked
or bundled product becomes wet for extended periods,
separate it, wipe it with a clean cloth and stack it to dry
thoroughly.
METAL AND TIMBER COMPATIBILITY
Contact with (or run-off from) some materials can damage
coated steel products. Buildings can also be susceptible
to condensation on inside surfaces. The materials include
certain metals, treated timbers and chemicals.
• Don’t allow any contact of coated steel products with
incompatible materials.
• Don’t allow discharge of rainwater from incompatible
materials onto coated steel products.
• Ensure that supporting members are compatible
with the coated steel products or, alternatively,
appropriately coated.
If there are doubts about the compatibility of other
products being used, seek advice from our information
line.
Incompatible materials include:
• lead
• copper
• monel metal
• bare steel
• stainless steel (except with Colorbond® stainless
cladding)
• carbon (in pencils and some rubbers)
• green or some chemically-treated timber (like CCA or
tanalith treatments)
• materials subject to cycles of dryness and wetness
or which have excessive moisture content (such as
improperly-seasoned timber)
• wet and dry concrete
• soils
• vegetable matter
• cleaning agents (e.g. brick cleaning)
• any material which will inhibit normal exposure to the
atmosphere

Version 2019.01. Always refer to local state building regulations and current safety requirements. Please Note: Diagrams not to scale.
 ARCPANEL Aquatek Panel - Safety
SAFETY
It is commonsense to work safely, protecting yourself and
workmates from accidents on the site. Safety includes the
practices you use; as well as personal protection of eyes
and skin from sunburn, and hearing from noise. Some
sunscreens contain
titanium oxides. These have been shown to break down
some paint compounds and these should be avoided.
Occupational health and safety laws enforce safe working
conditions in most locations. Laws in every state require
you to have fall protection which includes safety mesh,
personal harnesses and
perimeter guardrails. We recommend that you are fully
aware of all local codes of safe practice and you adhere
strictly to all laws that apply to your site.
CARE AND STORAGE BEFORE INSTALLATION
Rain or condensation is easily drawn between the surfaces
of stacked sheets by capillary action, or they can be driven
in by wind. This trapped moisture cannot evaporate easily,
so it can cause deterioration of the coating which may lead
to reduced life expectancy or poor appearance. If materials
are not required for immediate use, stack them neatly and
clear of the ground and minimise the duration of exposure
if left for extended periods. If left in the open, protect them
with waterproof covers. If stacked or bundled product
becomes wet, separate it without delay, wipe it with a clean
cloth and stack it to dry thoroughly.
HANDLING ON SITE
On large building projects you can reduce handling time by
lifting bundles with a crane direct from the delivery truck
onto the roof frame. Use a spreader bar for long sheets.
For small to medium size projects, without mechanical
handling facilities, you can unload sheets by hand and pass
them up to the roof one at a time.
Handling Safety - our product may be sharp and heavy. It
is recommended that heavy-duty cut- resistant gloves and
appropriate manual handling techniques or a lifting plan
be used when handling material. Handle materials carefully
to avoid damage: don’t drag materials over rough surfaces
or each other; carry tools, don’t drag them; protect from
swarf.

Version 2019.01. Always refer to local state building regulations and current safety requirements. Please Note: Diagrams not to scale.
INSTALLATION
WALKING ON ROOFS
It is important that you walk on roofing carefully, to avoid
damage to either the roofing or yourself.
If there will be heavy foot traffic or where an area is to be
treated as non-trafficable on a roof, provide a temporary
walkway or working platform with consideration of hand
rails to minimise damage.
Always take particular care when walking on wet or newly
laid sheets — particularly on steeply pitched roofs.
Generally, keep your weight evenly distributed over the
soles of both feet to avoid concentrating your weight on
either heels or toes. Always wear smooth soft-soled shoes;
avoid ribbed soles that pick up and hold small stones,
swarf and other objects.
Great care should be taken when moving near roof
overhang (and overlapping ends of sheets such as
expansion joints). The overhang should be treated as a
non-trafficable area (Refer to Section 2.3). When walking
near an overhang, walk over or as close as practical to
the roofing supports (usually over fastener locations). It
is not recommended to walk on the overhang due to the
potential for large deflections, which can result in a loss of
balance and increased potential fall risk.
ZINCALUME AND GALVANISED SHEETING
Arcpanel takes great care to ensure your panels are
delivered in good condition. The manufacturing process
for this specific product includes the use of roll forming
oils and it is possible that there could be some residue
which may lead to an inconsistent appearance or possible
staining effect. This is a condition of using Zincalume and
Galvanised products. Unfortunately Arcpanel cannot
accept any responsibility for staining or discolouration
on Zincalume or Galvanised sheeting as this is a
characteristic of the material.
It is very important to note that once your ‘Zincalume’
or ‘Galvanised’ panels are delivered, you are required to
split the panels and remove all plastic sheeting within two
weeks of delivery. Failure to remove all plastic sheeting
could result in the plastic being baked onto your roof/
ceiling which may not be able to be removed at a later
stage and this will void any warranty.

 ARCPANEL Aquatek Panel - Cutting & Clean Up
INSTALLATION
MARKING OUT, CUTTING AND DRILLING
A pencil of any colour may be used except black or
so-called lead pencils. Don’t use black pencils to
mark roofing or walling because the graphite content
can create an electric cell when wet and thus cause
deterioration of the finish. You can also use a string line
with chalk dust, or a fine, felt-tipped marker.
CUTTING
Where possible, you should minimise site-work by using
sheets cut to length in the factory.
For cutting thin metal on site, we recommend that you
use a power saw with a metal-cutting blade because it
produces fewer damaging hot metal particles and leaves
less resultant burr than does a carborundum disc.
Alternative cutting tools (electric shears and nibblers) are
also suitable however extra care with the straightness of
the cut may be required.
Cut materials over the ground and not over other
materials where hot particles can fall and cause damage
to finishes—especially Colorbond® pre-painted finishes. It
is best to have the exterior colour finish of a Colorbond®
pre-painted sheet facing down, however you must then
protect the paint finish from scratching by your work
supports.
If you have to cut materials near sheets already installed,
mask them or direct the stream of hot particles away.
Reciprocating nibblers are also widely used in the roofing
trade, and they produce an excellent cut.
The resulting small, sharp scraps can rust and damage
finishes; and they can cause personal injury. Take special
care to collect these scraps.
M
SA
64 Aquatek Panel
Version 2019.01. Always refer to local state building regulations and current safety requirements. Please Note: Diagrams not to scale.
MAKING HOLES
Holes are often made by drilling or cutting by hole saw
or jig saw. Mask the area around the hole to protect paint
from damage by swarf.
STRIPPABLE COATINGS
To provide temporary protection during production,
handling and transport, some Colorbond® products are
coated with a plastic. This coating peels off easily when
new, but it has a relatively short life, especially in sunlight.
If you don’t remove this coating at the time of installation,
you may find it very hard to remove later on. Please dispose
of the plastic in an environmentally responsible manner.
CLEAN UP
Swarf (metal scraps and/or abrasive particles resulting
from cutting and drilling) left on the surfaces of materials
will cause rust stains
which can lead to reduced life of the material.
• Sweep or hose all metallic swarf and other debris from
roof areas and gutters at the end of each day and at
the completion of the installation. Failure to do so can
lead to blockages of water flow or surface staining
(such as when the metal particles rust).
• If swarf has become stuck on a finish, it can be
removed. Take great care not to remove the paint or
the metal coatings.
• For critical applications inspect the job two weeks
after completion, when rain or condensation will have
caused any remaining swarf to rust, and thus highlight
affected areas.

• ARCPANEL is to be advised if site access is restrictive
and any issues that will affect delivery prior to orders
being placed.
• Unless the customer has advised and arranged
otherwise with ARCPANEL prior to delivery an
unloading facility is to be provided on site by the
customer e.g. crane or forklift.
• The ARCPANEL Roof Panels will typically arrive to site
on a semi-trailer truck or body truck.
• All care should be used when lifting panels from the
truck.
• When using lifting slings, they are to be placed
through the pallet at the lifting point and be placed
LIFTING POINT (FORKLIFT)
over the adjacent vertical timber frame.
• When using a forklift the tynes will be placed through
the pallet.
• In both cases above ensure the load is well balanced
before continuing the lift.
• It is the customer’s responsibility to check-off the
quantities against the Manufactured Drawings and
delivery docket, the condition of the panels and
accessories on delivery and advise ARCPANEL
immediately of any discrepancy.
• Deliveries will be made to site on truck at kerb. One
hour waiting time has been allowed for at the site to
unload.

 ARCPANEL Aquatek Panel - Panel Delivery
INSTALLATION

Unloading of Delivery
1. Panel packs are designed to be either unloaded from the delivery vehicle by crane or fork. If a crane is enlisted, slinging
points are provided to ensure your panels can be unloaded free from damage, as seen on supplied transport layout.
(Please see images below of ARCPANEL’s typical panel packs)
SINGLE PACK DOUBLE PACK

2. Arrange for the packs to be unloaded onto reasonably
level, stable ground, allowing for enough space
between each pack to allow for unpackaging (1m min
between packs recommended).
3. Using ‘Tin Snips’, cut all steel strapping from the packs,
once done, cut the vertical timbers on all four sides to
allow the top timber crating material to be removed.
We recommend a circular saw set to 25mm blade
depth. Pile packaging away from working area, for
appropriate disposal.

 ARCPANEL Aquatek Panel - Cranage of Panels
INSTALLATION

Craning Panels into Place

1. Position crane.
2. Remove packaging from panels.
3. Lift the top panel at alternate ends (not by the top sheet)
and insert a packer to enable slings to slide between the
panels.
4. Insert the slings around the panel using a block each side to
protect the overlapping sheet when lifting. 1 2
A safety line connecting the blocks over the panel will
mitigate the risk of the blocks falling if they are dislodged at
height.
5. Slings should be suitably spaced to maintain the lifting
integrity of the panels.
A guide rope will allow control of the panel at height.
6. Place the panel on supporting members where required and
remove slings and blocks. 3 4
NOTE:
Refer to product specific Installation Manual for Lifting Block Diagrams.

PROTECTING CEILING FINISH

It is recommended to lay carpet or similar over the support,
this is to prevent any damage to the exposed ceiling sheet.

Preparation Supporting Structure

1. Ensure all supporting walls/members are straight, braced, parallel, and level where required. Tip: our panels, whether
made straight, curved, or multi-curved, are only as good as the structure that they are connected to, any imperfection
or inaccuracy in the supporting structure will be accentuated if the panels are cantilevering beyond the frame/
supporting structure.

 ARCPANEL Aquatek Panel - Panel Placement
INSTALLATION

Panel Installation
1. If anything is unclear, please contact your Account Manager or ARC Panel before starting.
2. Before lifting your first panel, understand the cover of your chosen panel and the Start/ Finish point of your project.
Please refer to the installation manual to understand what fixings and accessories go where. If you have had Manufacture
drawings supplied, please refer to these for the panel setout, starting point, direction of installation and finishing point or
cuts that may be required. Consideration needs to be given to any services (such as lighting and fans) and where cables
can be run in the service-cores.
3. Panel must be installed at their designated cover for the best visual and water tight joins. Marking out of the lapping
fasteners could be done prior to lifting.
4. Always mark supports on panels as they are being installed, if a wall or beam stops it should be noted as when screwing
off you may penetrate a finished ceiling.
5. Panels cannot be crept as easily as single sheeting so additional care should be taken in squaring up first panel and
checking this with the finishing point. Trim over-lap of first panel off.
6. Flashings (if supplied) will be setout and named on your manufacture drawings.

Specific project limited warranties will be customised and determined at ARCPANEL’s sole discretion on a project by project
basis. In exercising that discretion ARCPANEL will consider numerous factors particularly those related to the:
• intended use of the Product; and
• location at which the Product will be used.
For example, in categorising, customising and determining warranty periods for Severe Marine or Very Severe Marine
applications ARCPANEL will consider factors present such as distance from coastal locations, whether or not different
marine conditions apply such as Surf, Exposed or Calm conditions where:
Surf typically means that the near vicinity or the area is exposed to breaking surf and ocean spray
Exposed typically means that there are expanses of salt or brackish water present in the near vicinity and the area or the
near vicinity is exposed to onshore winds, but not typically to breaking surf
Calm typically means protected areas of salt or brackish water, including ports, harbours, bays, and river estuaries
Note: The specific project limited warranties may not be determined or pre-approved at the time of preparing a project
quotation, estimate or pricing for the particular project being specified. It is the responsibility of the customer to obtain
a pre-approved warranty application prior to order placement to be satisfied with the project limited warranty applicable
for the project being specified. Corrosion and paint system warranty when applicable is limited to the maximum period
offered by the metal sheeting manufacturer, subject to the metal sheeting manufacturer’s warranty terms and conditions.
Corrosion and paint system warranty is provided by the manufacturer of the metal sheeting component of the Products.
The relevant manufacturer of the metal sheeting requires registration of that warranty and the Customer must comply with
that registration requirement. For further information please visit:
