Inspection & Maintenance
Parts of a building on which colour coated sheets have been used, especially roofs, should be inspected and if necessary, cleaned regularly. If any defects are found in the coating they should be repaired immediately, in order to ensure long life. This section tells you how to get the best possible performance from our Insulated panel materials by inspection and maintenance based upon that inspection. Time spent reading this section and acting carefully on its advice will repay itself in excellent service from the products used, with the least possible maintenance. We recommend that you employ specialists to restore the coating, if that is necessary.
