Cutting sheets and flashings
Manufactured to length sheets should require minimum cutting. When cutting on site is required, it is important to use a tool that generates as little heat as possible as to not melt the coating of the sheets. A nibbler is the ideal steel cutting tool as it can be used for cutting shapes and leaves a good edge.
Disc cutters and reciprocating saws are not recommended, as heat can damage the coating leaving a raw edge. Hot swarf generated by using these tools can also damage the coating leaving the sheets susceptible to rusting.
