IMPORTANT INFORMATION
THIS MANUAL IS DESIGNED TO BE UTILIZED AS A GUIDE WHEN INSTALLING THE STILE ROOFING
SYSTEM. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ERECTOR TO ENSURE THE SAFE INSTALLATION OF THIS
PRODUCT SYSTEM.
SAFETY
STUDY APPLICABLE OSHA AND OTHER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS BEFORE FOLLOWING THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
The installation of metal roof systems is a dangerous procedure and should be supervised by trained
knowledgeable erectors. USE EXTREME CARE WHILE INSTALLING ROOF PANELS. It is not possible for
Metal Sales to be aware of all the possible job site situations that could cause an unsafe condition to
exist. The erector of the roof system is responsible for reading these instructions and determining the
safest way to install the roof system.
These instructions are provided only as a guide to show a knowledgeable, trained erector the correct
parts placement one to another. If following any of the installation steps would endanger a worker, the
erector should stop work and decide upon a corrective action.
Provide required safety railings, netting or safety lines for crew members working on the roof.
Do not use the roof panels as a walking platform. The roof panels will not withstand the weight of a
person standing at the edge of the panel.
Do not stand on the roof panels at the ends until the panels have has been attached.

PANEL OVERVIEW
The minimum recommended slope for any Stile roofing panel is 3:12.
The recommended substrate is 5/8" plywood with a #30 felt moisture barrier. To
avoid panel distortion, use a properly aligned and uniform substructure.
If your application is over a substrate other than 5/8" plywood, please contact the
Metal Sales location servicing you (refer to page 2).
Each panel has a coverage of 39.4" (1 meter).
Minimum factory cut length is 3'-0". Maximum panel length is 20'-0". Lengths
between 3'-0" and 20'-0" will be cut at 1'-0" increments.

RECOMMENDED TOOL TYPE - Use depth locating nose or adjustable clutch on screw gun to prevent overdrilling and
strip out. DO NOT USE IMPACT TOOLS OR RUNNERS.
SEATING THE WASHER - Apply sufficient torque to seat the washer - do not overdrive the fastener.
TO PREVENT WOBBLING - Make sure fastener head is completely engaged in the socket. If the head does not go all
the way in the socket - tap the magnet deeper into the socket to allow full head engagement. Metal chips will build up
from drilling and should be removed from time to time.
PROTECT DRILL POINT - Push only hard enough on the screw gun to engage clutch. This prevents excess friction and
burn out of the drill point. Correct pressure will allow screw to drill and tap without binding.
CORRECT
Sealing material slightly
visible at edge of metal
washer. Assembly is
watertight.
TOO LOOSE
Sealing material is not
visible; not enough
compression to
seal properly.
TOO TIGHT

GENERAL
DESIGN / INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Metal Sales' Stile panel is recommended to be installed directly over a wood substrate (minimum 5/8")
with 30# felt moisture barrier.
Always check with local building codes prior to all installations for any additional requirements that
may be specific to your area.
CONDITION OF SUBSTRUCTURE
The roof should be inspected for any trapped moisture or structural damage such as warped or loose
roof decking. These areas should be repaired prior to installing new metal panels.
Prior to installation make sure there are no nails or fasteners protruding from the wood substrate
which could damage the panels and impede the installation process. Special attention must be given
to Valleys, Ridge, Rake and Eave areas when roofing with Stile panels.
When installed, panel distortion may occur if not applied over properly aligned and uniform
substructure.
Whether installing over new or existing roof, the installer should check the roof deck for squareness
before installing Stile panels. Several methods can be used to verify squareness of the structure for
proper installation of the panels.
METHOD "A" - One method for checking the roof for squareness is to measure diagonally across one
slope of the roof from similar points at the ridge and eave and obtain the same dimension.
METHOD "B" - The 3-4-5 triangle system may also be used. To use this system measure a point from
the corner along the edge of the roof at a module of three (3). Measure a point from the same corner
along another edge at a module of four (4). Then by measuring diagonally between the two points
established, the dimension should be exactly a module of five (5) to have a square corner. Multiple
uses of this system may be required to determine building squareness. If the endwall cannot be made
square, the roof system cannot be installed as shown in these instructions.

DESIGN / INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS (CONT)
VENTILATION
Proper design and installation of vapor barriers and ventilation systems are important to prevent
condensation and the resulting problems of moisture damage and loss of insulation efficiency.
On buildings that have an attic space, vents should be placed at both the eave and peak of the roof in
order to prevent a buildup of moisture (humidity) in the attic space.

RECEIVING MATERIAL
It is the responsibility of the installer to unload material from the delivery truck. The installer is not
responsible for providing suitable equipment for unloading of material from the delivery truck.
After receiving material, check the condition of the material, and review the shipment against the shipping
list to ensure all materials are accounted for. If damages or shortages are discovered, it should be noted on
the Bill of Lading at the time of delivery. A claim should be made against the carrier as soon as possible.
Metal Sales is not responsible for any damages or shortages unless they are documented in writing and
presented to Metal Sales within 48 hours.
GENERAL HANDLING
HANDLING MATERIAL
CAUTION
Improper loading and unloading of bundles and crates may result in bodily harm and/or
material damage. Metal Sales is not responsible for bodily injuries and/or material
damages resulting from improper loading and unloading.
Each bundle should be handled carefully to avoid being damaged. Care should be taken to prevent bending
of the panel or abrasion to finish. Whenever possible, the bundle should remain crated until it is located in
its place of storage. If bundles must be opened, we recommend you recrate them before lifting. To avoid
damage please lift the bundle at its center of gravity.
Some products may have a peel-off (strippable film) plastic coating over the painted surface. This coating
was factory applied to prevent damage to the finish that may occur during manufacturing or shipping. If
this coating is present, avoid exposure of the "strippable film" parts to sunlight and remove the "strippable
film prior to installation.
MECHANICAL HANDLING
FORKLIFT - A forklift may be used for panels up to 20'-0" long. Please make sure the forks are at their
maximum separation. Do not transport open bundles. When transporting bundles across rough terrain,
or over a longer distance, some means of supporting the panel load must be used.
CRANE - A crane should be used when lifting panels with lengths greater than 20'-0". Please be sure to
utilize a spreader bar to ensure the even distribution of the weight to the pick up points. As a rule when
lifting panels, no more than 1/3 of the length of the panel should be left unsupported. Never use wire rope
as this will damage the panels.
