Installation Notes
Wooden grate:
- It is recommended to use battens with a minimum cross-section of 40×50 mm (depending on the rafter spacing).
- To build the support structure, use: – wooden battens with a cross-section of 40 x 50 mm or 40 x 60 mm,
– wooden counter-battens with a cross-section of 40 x 50 mm or 40 x 60 mm. - To construct the substructure for assembly of roof coverings, use dry structural lumber of at least class C24 or KVH, treated with preservatives that do not cause corrosion of coated steel sheets.
- Special attention should be paid to the spacing of the battens—measured from the same edges—which depends on the type of roofing material, as well as to ensuring that their assembly is straight and that their surface is level.
- A substructure made of wooden battens should ensure a level and stable surface for assembly of the roof coverings! Roof furring strips are used to attach the roofing membrane (pre-covering—FWK) to the rafters. Metal roof tile panels are attached directly to the battens. A subframe prepared in this way
for metal roof assembly should have a level surface and roof slopes with right angles. - Before placing the battens, measure the length of the module. Keep in mind that the length of the module is measured according to the diagram below.
- Roofs with slopes of less than 15º require a watertight pre-covering. This allows for the achievement of a Class 1 or Class 2 watertight rating (waterproof underlayment or rainproof underlayment).

Recommendations
Transport and Storage
- If you are picking up the goods with your own vehicle, the vehicle should have an open loading platform that allows for easy loading and unloading.
- “Manual” unloading should be performed by an adequate number of people; that is, for long sheets (approx. 6 mb), 6 people should be involved, 3 on each side, taking special care not to slide the sheets over one another, not to bend the side edges, and not to stretch them. Deformation of the sheets during unloading and handling causes subsequent problems with their proper assembly (gaps at the seams).
- The most appropriate method is to unload the goods in the manufacturer’s packaging using mechanical equipment.
- At the construction site, the sheets should be stored in their original packaging, under cover. Storage under these conditions should not exceed 3 weeks from the date of manufacture. After this time, the packaging should be opened, and the sheets should be separated with spacers to allow for free air circulation. The maximum storage period should not exceed 6 months from the date of manufacture, under penalty of voiding the Warranty.
- Protective films are used to provide additional protection for coated sheet metal against mechanical damage, stress, and impacts that may occur during transportation, handling, or forming. Protective films never exempt the user from the obligation to properly secure the sheets during storage or to protect them from the harmful effects of chemicals during processing. It is recommended to gradually remove the protective film from the finished profiles, one piece at a time, before installing the wall and roof components on the building. The protective film should be removed from the sheet metal surface within three weeks of the sheet’s date of manufacture, provided the product is stored properly—that is, at a positive temperature, away from high humidity, and out of direct sunlight. Failure to maintain proper storage conditions may shorten the time for removing the film to three days from the date of delivery.
- Improper storage can make it difficult to remove the protective film and leave adhesive residue on the sheets.

Maintenance and Cleaning
- To extend the service life of roofs and facades made of coated sheet metal, they should be inspected and maintained regularly.
- Inspection – Once a year (preferably in the spring), you should inspect the roof and exterior walls to detect any damage early on.
- Cleaning Metal Sheets – Roofs and facades made of coated metal sheets require cleaning at least once a year. Dirt that accumulates on the sheet metal can cause uneven discoloration (due to uneven exposure to UV rays) and reduce corrosion resistance (dirt traps moisture on the sheet metal, gradually damaging it). Dirty and stained areas can be cleaned with a soft brush and water (max. 60°C). If necessary, a mild detergent may be added to the water (pH 6–7, max. 10% solution). Pressurized water (max. 100 bar) may also be used for cleaning; however, the water jet must not be directed too close to the sheet’s surface (min. 30 cm), nor should it be directed perpendicular to the surface. At the joints, the water stream should be directed downward to prevent pressurized water from entering the gaps around the joints. Old coatings must be handled with extreme caution. Wash from top to bottom, and always rinse the cleaned area thoroughly with clean water immediately afterward.
- Do not use scouring powders, nitro solvents, chlorine-based solutions, aromatic cleaning agents, or products containing ammonium chloride (salmiak) or sodium salts.
- Damage — Any repairs to damage that may occur during the Warranty period should be discussed with the roof/facade contractor and may be performed only with the contractor’s approval. Repairs to small areas are performed using air-drying touch-up paints. Painting large areas is generally only possible using special industrial paints designed for the renovation of coatings. The area to be painted should be limited only to those spots that require it (scratches down to the metal layer, corrosion spots, etc.). Surface preparation for painting must be performed in accordance with generally accepted principles. Always thoroughly remove all traces of corrosion—preferably using special brushes or fine-grit sandpaper. Then, the surface to be repaired must be thoroughly dusted, degreased, and cleaned. To degrease the surface, you can use extraction gasoline or water with added surfactants (preferably with 1–2% ammonia solution). The repaired areas may show color differences compared to the original sheet metal colors due to natural weathering (aging of the paint under the influence of UV radiation).
- Organically coated steel sheets must not be used in:
- an environment in constant contact with highly saline water,
- contact with construction chemicals, including concrete, plaster, wet wood, etc.,
- in an environment exposed to harsh chemicals
- in combination with materials having a different electrochemical potential
- CAUTION—Health and safety rules must be strictly observed during inspections, cleaning, maintenance, and repairs.
- The Pruszyński Company is not liable for any accidents that may result from performing the above activities.

Product Description
For those who appreciate the classics
The SZAFIR metal roof tile is one of our customers’ favorite products.
The classic shape reminiscent of ceramic roof tiles and the undeniable advantages of steel roof tiles make for a perfect combination. To meet market expectations, we are introducing a new variant: the Modular roof tile.
Customers now have complete flexibility in choosing a SZAFIR model thanks to the product’s availability in a modular design.
As with any roof covering, proper ventilation of the roof deck is extremely important when using Szafir metal roof tiles. Proper ventilation prevents deterioration, damage, and even leaks in the roof deck. Learn more about ventilation in our dedicated article:“Proper Roof Ventilation…”—we encourage you to read the details.
Our product line includes a wide range of accessories and add-ons designed to improve ventilation.
