Roof Pitch
The minimum recommended roof pitch for the KAWA R715 profile is 1Ëš. However, it is recommended that a roof pitch of 2Ëš be considered during designing to avoid silt accumulation due to reduced water velocity and possible ponding as a result of uneven Purlins.
End Laps
Should end laps be inevitable, have a minimum of 250 mm end lap for a 5Ëš roof pitch and below, and a minimum 200 mm end lap for a roof pitch exceeding 5Ëš. Ensure watertightness by applying a good sealant to the end lap.
Stop Ending & Lipping
Stop ending sheets prevent water from entering the building through the flashing or capping. It is done by a turn-up tool, turning up the tray between crests at the ridge end of the sheet (Fig.1). Lipping is a process whereby a turn-down tool is used to turn down the tray between crests at the eave end of the sheet (Fig.2).

Convex and Concave Roof
The KAWA R715 Crimped Curved Convex and Concave profile adds beauty and functionality to the building envelope with advantages as
follows:-
- Fewer structural supports required for fascias and roofs.
- Aesthetically attractive exterior finish with simple installation.
- Reduced number of flashings and cappings.
Ensure that the sheets are lifted onto the roof the right way up with the male and female ribs in the desired direction, otherwise sheets will have to be orientated during installation.
Where a few sheets are required to cover the whole length of the roof due to handling or transport considerations, installation shall start from the bottom to the top before moving on to the next run of roof. At the end laps, a minimum of 250 mm end lap is required for a 5Ëš roof pitch and below, and a minimum of 200 mm end lap is required for a roof pitch exceeding 5Ëš. To ensure watertightness, apply a good sealant to the end lap.
For the KAWA R715 Crimped Curved profile, valley fixing of the sheet is recommended only on the fascia purlin. For the rest of the purlins, screws should be fixed on the crests of the ribs into the purlins below.
