DO NOT LEAN LADDER AGAINST GUTTER!
- GUTTER
LIP - Peel and stick the Gutter Cover firmly into place
to gutter lip. Move to the roof side
- SCISSOR
CUT - Peel backing tape away slowly and in alignment with
each ridge of the roofing material place a scissor cut .
Your scissor cut should be at least 2" or 60mm. NB:
The flatter the roof the longer the cut.
- FIX
TO ROOF - Carefully fold and place the Gutter Cover so that
it fits into bottom centre of each trough and then firmly
press into place. DO NOT PULL OR STRETCH TIGHT
TO
FINISH OFF:
- Seal
joins, barge ends, valley laps and corners sparingly with
Roof and Gutter sealant
- Apply
a small dob of Roof and Gutter sealant at each gutter bracket
to both sides of Gutter Cover.
- CHECK
FOR STRESS POINTS. Where the Gutter Cover adhesive tapes
have gone over external gutter brackets or joins in the
guttering. If stressed place a knife cut to the tape only
at the points of stress.
PROCEDURE
FOR VALLEYS
- Rool
out Gutter Cover down the length of valley. Do not cut off
yet.
- Equidistant
each side of the valley. Peel one side at a time following
the contours of the roofing.
- Do
not pull tight. Gently feed the adhesive tape into place.
- Stress
points will appear and will need to be cut with a knife.
- A small
dob of Roof and Gutter sealant applied each 500mm on both
sides of the valley will keep Gutter Cover in check.
POROUS
SURFACES
If
the surface is not smooth it will require sealing before Gutter
Cover is fixed into place. e.g. Old Tiles, Fibro, Decrobond.
This is simply done as follows:- Before sticking the Gutter
Cover to the roof surface, fold back the fixing tape and apply
a thin bead of Roof and Gutter sealant to the tape. Then fit
to roof troughs or pans as normal. The sealant will bond into
the roof surface holding the Gutter Cover fast.
