Testing
Stramit Monopanel® Wall Cladding 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 Monopanel® Wall Cladding is supplied cut to length. 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

The wall cladding shall be 0.48 mm BMT Stramit Monopanel® Wall Cladding, in continuous lengths with ribs 12.5mm high, and a cover of 250mm. Sheeting material shall be protected steel sheet to 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 fixings in accordance with Australian Standard AS3566, Class 3, shall be used as per manufacturers recommendations. 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 50mm.
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 sheeting manufacturer. All debris (nuts, screws, cuttings, filings etc.) shall be cleaned off daily.
A NATSPEC work section is available for this product. Download
Use one fastener per sheet at each support placed in the pre-punched slots.
All fasteners should conform to AS3566 – Class 3 and be completely compatible with the cladding material used.
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 Monopanel® Wall Cladding 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 Monopanel® Wall Cladding is not suitable for roofing.
Derived from testing, the following tables give the wind load resistance for both serviceability and strength limit states. 
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.
Commence installation from the bottom of the area to be covered:
- Use a string line to correctly position starter clips which are attached using the recommended fastener to the stud framing.
- Hinge the bottom edge of the profile under the clips and swing the panel up against the wall frame.
- Use the recommended fasteners to attach the top of the panel to the frame. Hint: Maintain upward pressure during this operation to ensure full engagement with the clips.
- Hinge the next panel in under the profiled groove in the top of the first panel, swing up and attach as before.
- Continue installing sheets to the top of the wall.
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.
