SNAP-CLAD Panels feature architectural panel aesthetics as well as structural panel performance. SNAP-CLAD Panels, produced in continuous lengths, are corrective leveled to provide superior flatness and feature an optional factory-applied sealant bead for improved weather resistance. (minimum panel length is 4 feet)

SNAP-CLAD Panels feature a 1-3/4” leg height and a continuous interlock for improved structural performance and wind resistance. A concealed fastener clip system has been designed to allow for thermal expansion/contraction while providing extraordinary hold-down strength. Two clips are available: a standard clip for most mansard and fascia applications and a high-performance clip for roofing application and UL 90 rated assemblies.

UL 90 Classified
SNAP-CLAD Panels carry a UL 90 classification over a wide variety of substrates and assemblies including 5/8” plywood, purlins, and rigid insulation in conjunction with bearing plates (UL Construction No. 254, 255, 261, 303, 343, 508). For further details, contact Petersen Aluminum .

Air and Water Infiltration
SNAP-CLAD Panels meet the full performance requirements of the ASTM E283/1680 air infiltration test and the ASTM E331/1646 water penetration test. Please contact Petersen Aluminum Corporation for complete test results.

Materials
a) 24 ga. G-90 hot-dipped galvanized steel
b) 22 ga. G-90 hot-dipped galvanized steel
c) .032 3105-H14 aluminum
d) .040 3105-H14 aluminum
e) 16 oz. cold rolled copper

Trim
All flashing and trim will be fabricated by manufacturer or qualified fabricator. Flashing shall be PAC-CLAD aluminum (.032-.080 gauge as specified) or PAC-CLAD steel (24 ga. or 22 ga. as specified). A 20 year, non-prorated finish warranty shall be supplied covering finish performance.

Installation
SNAP-CLAD Panels are intended for use in roofing, mansard, and fascia applications. Substrates may include 5/8” (min.) plywood, nailboard insulation or equal with an underlayment of 30# (min.) roofing felt applied horizontally from eave to ridge. Other substrates may include metal decking, purlins or rigid insulation in conjunction with bearing plates. A minimum 2:12 pitch is recommended in most applications. Contact Petersen for detail assistance on projects requiring lower slopes. For Coastal applications, aluminum panels along with stainless steel clips must be used for warranty. Consult a local architect/engineer for compliance with local codes and conditions.

Eave Notching
Factory-produced eave notching is now available at nominal additional cost on SNAP-CLAD Panels and Redi-Roof Standing Seam Panels. Factory eave notching saves on labor cost by eliminating the need for costly field cutting in providing a properly trimmed eave detail.

Note: SNAP-CLAD has UL-90 classification up to 16” O.C. on .032 and .040 aluminum. See roof deck construction in Underwriter Laboratories roofing materials and systems directory.
