How long Can You Store your Products On-Site For?
Where material or product is stored on site for an extended amount of time certain precautions should be taken to avoid damage by exposure to the elements.
Roof Trusses
If exposed for more than two weeks should be protected with covers fixed in such a way as to allow proper ventilation around the trusses.
Posi-Joists
If exposed for more than two weeks should be protected with covers fixed in such a way as to allow proper ventilation around the joists.
I-Joists
Supplied in house sets will be delivered wrapped in polythene, this should be loosened to allow ventilation around the joists whilst still providing protection from the elements.
Fermacell Clad Spandrel Panels
Can be left exposed for up to eight weeks in town and city locations, up to six weeks in rural locations and up to four weeks in coastal locations. Beyond this they should be protected with covers fixed in such a way as to allow proper ventilation around the panels.
Film Covered Flooring Panels
When correctly laid and with the joints properly sealed can be left exposed for up to 6 weeks. However, boards stored on site awaiting installation, should be covered to protect them from the elements.
All materials stored on site awaiting installation should be stood / stacked safely.
