Key Features
- In all cases the building frame must include structural elements running up the
angle of the valley to support the edge of the cladding and withstand all load
cases.
- All fixings and seals must be to manufacturers' recommendations.
- Thermal bridging is potentially high, depending on the gutter design.
- The cover trims on the cut edges of composite panels cover the cut edge and
exposed insulation, but they can also act as a dirt/debris trap for water running
down the roof. Large gaps required, and regular maintenance/inspection.
- All exposed site cut steel edges should be coated to resist corrosion.
- All flashing joints to manufacturers' instructions.
- Details should be provided for the upslope and downslope ends of hip valleys. These
are awkward, and usually left to the sheeters on site.
