LYSAGHT FLATDEK® II (Queensland Only)

Product Description and Features

LYSAGHT FLATDEK® II is a modern long span cladding particularly well suited to many types of home improvement projects such as room additions, carports and awnings.  The underside of LYSAGHT FLATDEK® II features clean un-interrupted lines, with an attractive gloss finish.

• Pan-fixed roof sheeting for open sided awnings where high degree of weather tightness is not required
• Uninterrupted ceiling provided by a special closed-rib profile with long spanning capabilities
• The top side finished in Surfmist® COLORBOND® steel. The ceiling side finished in either Dover White or Classic Cream high gloss COLORBOND® steel.

Common Uses of this product

Roofing patios, awnings, carports

Warnings

Schematic

Specification

LYSAGHT FLATDEK® II is made from ZINCALUME® steel complying with AS 1397-2001 G550, AZ150 (550 MPa minimum yield stress, 150g/m² minimum coating mass);

The base metal thickness is 0.42mm

The COLORBOND® prepainted steel complies with AS/NZS 2728:1997.

Spanning Tables

The maximum recommended support spacings are based on testing in accordance with AS 1562.1-1992. Design and installation of sheet roof and wall cladding, and AS 4040.1-1992. Resistance to concentrated loads.**

Depending on support spacings used, LYSAGHT FLATDEK® II can be installed as either a:

• Light foot traffic roof (incidental maintenance foot traffic acceptable); or
• No foot traffic roof (will not support the weight of a person walking on it), this considers resistance to wind pressure only.

The pressure considered is based on a typical awning C_pn=-0.8 and K_l=1.5 adjacent to an enclosed structure.

The tables are based on FLATDEK® II fixed to supports of 1.0mm BMT minimum. For FLATDEK® II awnings applications, the awning span is often governed by the capacity of the receiver channel and its connections. This must be considered in the design of any awning system.

Supports must be not less than 1mm BMT.
* Spans of 5100mm may result in noticable deflections under maximum loads. When deflections need to be considered in designs, reduce these spans to 4800mm.

Capacity & Load Tables

LYSAGHT FLATDEK® II offers the full benefits of the latest methods for modelling wind pressures. The wind pressure capacity table is based on full scale tests conducted at BlueScope Lysaght's NATA-registered testing laboratory, using the direct pressure-testing rig.

Testing was conducted in accordance with AS 1562.1-1992 Design and installation of sheet roof and wall cladding-Metal, and AS 4040.2-1992 Resistance to wind pressure for non-cyclonic regions.**
