What is Pe Coated Aluminium Sheet?
A PE coated aluminum sheet is a type of material that features a layer of polyethylene paint applied to its surface. This coating enhances the aluminum sheet's properties, providing excellent UV protection, resistance to acids and alkalis, and high weather resistance. This makes it ideal for outdoor use, with a potential service life of up to 20 years.
Manufacturing Process:
PE coated aluminum sheets are manufactured and supplied in custom colors and patterns. These products find extensive use in China. Signi Aluminum can produce sheets tailored to customer specifications, ensuring stable quality and competitive wholesale prices.
Installation Precautions:
- Pay attention to the prevailing wind direction when laying the sheets, and ensure the joint of the sheet rib aligns with this direction.
- Overlap the connection between sheets by only one rib, with the female rib fastened above the male rib.
- Angle the gutter and lower end of the bend by about 10 degrees to form a drip line.
- Ensure that fixing screws are perpendicular to the aluminum sheet bottom, aligned with the center of the purlin, and that stitching lines are straight.
- Check the flatness of both ends of every 5-6 colored aluminum sheets installed, adjusting if necessary, and locking the fixed seat.
