Testing
Stramit® Monoclad Wall Sheeting gives excellent durability in almost all locations. However, it is important to choose the correct coating for each application environment. Durability recommendations do vary based on the application of the product in roofing or walling installations.
All building products need to be checked for compatibility with adjacent materials. These checks need to be for both direct contact between materials, and where water runs from one material to another.
The following guidelines generally avoid material incompatibility:
- For zinc-aluminium alloy coated steel, colour coated steel and galvanised steel cladding avoid copper, lead, green or treated timber, stainless steel and mortar or concrete.
- Galvanised steel sheets should not receive drainage from aluminium or any inert materials, such as plastics, glass, glazed tiles, colour coated and zinc-aluminium alloy.
Stramit's roofing and walling products should be handled with care at all times to preserve the product capabilities and quality of the finish.
Packs should always be kept dry and stored above ground level while on site. If the products become wet, they should be separated, wiped and placed in the open to promote drying.
Stramit Monoclad® Wall Sheeting is supplied cut to length. The manufacturing tolerance on length of product supplied is +0, -15mm.
Stramit products conform to the following Australian standards that are called up in the NCC.
Steel material
- All metallic coated steel complies with AS 1397
- Painted steel product conforms with AS 2728
Roofing / Walling products
- Roofing/walling profiles conform with AS 1562.1, and AS 4040 parts 0, 1, 2 and 3.
- Corrugated roofing conforms with AS 1445
- Wind Load data conforms to AS 1170 part 2, and/or AS 4055
- Fasteners conform with AS 3566
- Installation details are in accordance with the Standards Australia Handbook HB39
Stramit's roofing and walling products are protected in Australia by registered designs.
All Stramit roofing and wall cladding products conform with, or are equivalent to, AS1562.1.

Please refer to the Stramit Roof and Wall Flashing Architectural Detailing Design Guide.
The walling shall be 0.35mm BMT Stramit® Monoclad Wall Sheeting in continuous lengths with trapezoidal ribs approximately 29mm high, spaced at 190mm centres. Sheeting material shall be protected steel sheet to Australian Standard AS1397, with a minimum yield stress of 550MPa (Grade G550) and an AM100/AZ150 coating with an oven-baked paint film of selected colour, or a plain AM125/AZ150 coating.
The sheeting shall be fixed to the girts in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Suitable fixing screws in accordance with Australian Standards AS3566, Class 3, shall be used at every rib at every support with side lap fasteners installed at mid span if required. Sheets shall be laid in such a manner that the approved side lap faces away from the prevailing weather. Flashings shall be supplied in compatible materials as specified; minimum cover of flashing shall be 150mm.
All sheeting shall be fixed in a workman-like manner, leaving the job clean and weathertight. Repair minor blemishes with touch-up paint supplied by the roof manufacturer. All debris (nuts, screws, cuttings, filings etc.) shall be cleaned off daily.
Class 4 fasteners should be used <1km from the coast.

Stramit Monoclad® Wall Sheeting can be fixed with 4 fasteners per sheet at each batten/purlin to meet the required performance values.
All external fastening screws must conform to AS3566 – Class 3. They are to be hexagon headed and must be used with sealing washers for both roofing and walling.
For connecting to purlins or top hats use:
For wall areas likely to be subject to human impact, sheeting spans should be reduced. Impact loads will vary considerably and these are not prescribed in Australian Standards. A maximum span of 1200mm is suggested for such areas, but this should be adjusted dependent upon the exposure and importance of the application.
Stramit Monoclad® Wall Sheeting is manufactured from G550 colour coated steel or zinc-aluminium alloy coated steel. In some locations galvanised and severe environment colour coated steel may be available by arrangement.
Colour coated steels are in accordance with AS2728 – Category 3 and, for the substrate, with AS1397. Zinc-aluminium alloy coated AZ150, aluminium-zinc-magnesium alloy coated AM100/AM125 and galvanised Z450 conform to AS1397.
Stramit Monoclad® Wall Sheeting is not suitable for roofing.
Derived from testing, the following tables give the wind load resistance for both serviceability and strength limit states.
Tables are based on testing to AS1562 and AS4040 parts 0, 2 and 3. Internal spans must have both end spans 20% shorter. Values only valid for use with steel support members of 0.75mm or thicker.
Installation Information
Stramit's cladding can be easily cut, where required, using a power saw with a cold cut saw blade or a power nibbler and, for localised cutting, tin snips. Avoid the use of abrasive discs as these can cause burred edges and coating damage. Please dispose of any off-cuts carefully and thoughtfully.
Stramit® Monoclad Wall Sheeting is readily installed with or without fibreglass insulation blanket. If practical lay sheets in the opposite direction to prevailing weather.
Installation of Stramit® Monoclad Wall Sheeting is a straightforward procedure using the following fixing sequence.
- Ensure all girts are in line and correctly installed and that mesh and blanket (if specified) are in place.
- Position and fix the first sheet. Ensure that screws are not overtightened.
- Continue to fix subsequent sheets checking that sheet ends at the lower edge are exactly aligned.
- Measure the overall cover width at top and bottom of the sheets from time to time to avoid ‘fanning’.
- For wall spans exceeding 1200mm, stitch the sidelaps at midspan.
- Clean up the roof after each days work, removing all screws, cuttings, swarf etc, and leave roof clean and watertight.
Below are some handy hints and tips to achieve maximum life from your COLORBOND® and ZINCALUME® finished products.
- In areas of little rainfall, products should be cleaned regularly.
- Brick cleaning acid should not come into contact with steel fascia, gutter, or roofing and walling.
- Never immerse these products in sand, soil or concrete.
- Do not use touch up spray can paint on COLORBOND® steel.
- Remove metal debris from cutting and/or drilling to avoid swarf damage.
- Prior to installation, keep bundled material dry.
- Prepainted metal roofing components should be stored in the shade as the protective plastic film will become difficult to remove if it is exposed to direct sunlight.
- Make sure materials made of different metal, such as copper and lead, do not make contact with these products, and water does not run from one to the other.
- Roofing and guttering should be free draining and free from dirt and leaves.
