URBANE™ NAIL STRIP APPLICATIONS

UrbanE™ Nail Strip enhances any residential or commercial roof and wall cladding project.

And when it comes to defining your architectural vision UrbanE™ Nail Strip has a lot to offer. UrbanE™ Nail Strip provides a clean seamless appearance similar to Standing Seam but without the need for mechanical seam sealing.

The sheets are simply fastened using perforated nail strips that are concealed under the adjoining sheets. This makes UrbanE™ Nail Strip a very economical, cost-effective lightweight cladding solution.

UrbanE™ Nail Strip has a minimum pitch requirement of 7.5°. Standard panel lengths range from 1 metre up to 6 metres for a wide range of design possibilities.

URBANE™ NAIL STRIP COLOURS

UrbanE™ Nail Strip is about maximising design choice and that includes a very expansive colour range.

The Colorbond colour range provides a wealth of hues and shades for you to experiment with in addition to the natural colours of copper, Zincalume, and the warmth of Corten weathered steel.

The Colorbond range includes an exciting set of 22 colours and shades suitable for classic older style housing through to the contemporary range of exciting modernistic colours.

UrbanE™ Nail Strip is about giving you choice and control over your next roof or wall cladding project.

URBANE™ NAIL STRIP INSTALLATION

UrbanE™ Nail Strip is lightweight and promises extremely rapid and straightforward installation for real-time cost savings.

UrbanE™ Nail Strip requires continuous support. We recommend 15mm plywood for walling and 18mm plywood for roofs. For the 38mm x 265mm profile in Colorbond/Zincalume/Metallic/Ultra, it can be installed on a 40mm batten at a maximum of 600mm centres. A ventilation gap is required to avoid the formation of condensation.

UrbanE™ Nail Strip panels are laid and fixed directly to the plywood substrate with concealed screws or nails along the perforated strip every 300mm.

The female rib is simply pushed firmly onto the smaller male rib forming an effective water barrier and seal. We also recommend the use of a breathable vapour barrier between the plywood and steel panel.

With horizontal installations start laying the panels from the top and work towards the bottom with the male rib always at the top.

Screw fasteners through the centre of the perforated slots so that the sheets are able to adapt to thermal expansion and contraction.

As with all steel products you need to eliminate any potential material compatibility issues. Incompatible materials may include fasteners, adjoining panels as well as any adjacent materials that may direct water runoff onto the UrbanE™ Nail Strip panels. Incompatible materials may increase corrosion rates significantly for any steel product.

URBANE™ NAIL STRIP MAINTENANCE

UrbanE™ Nail Strip is a trusted low-maintenance cladding product that thrives in the toughest Australian conditions. The thin vertical ribs create a natural self-cleaning process and rainfall will wash away most dirt and debris from roofs and walls.

The clever concealed screw design eliminates the dirt build-up that caused the premature failure with older cladding types. It’s just one more reason why UrbanE™ Nail Strip is the perfect low-maintenance wall and roof cladding choice.

Even so, some simple maintenance to remove leaf matter, dirt and other organic material from the panels is necessary once or even twice a year.

We also recommend washing the panels with water once a year. This is especially important if you live near a marine environment.

Annually clear gutters and downpipes of any blockages or leaf matter build-up. Blocked guttering is a common cause of water penetration into roof or wall cavities.

It’s important to remove all dirt and organic material because these can trigger corrosion and damage the paint finish.

UrbanE™ Nail Strip is the no.1 solution for reducing install times and costs as well as eliminating troublesome maintenance challenges.
