Storage

TapcoSlates should not be stored on roof decks in such a manner as to over-stress and/or damage the deck and supporting structure.

Use protective coverage over all pallets while being temporarily stored on-site.
TapcoSlates must be conditioned at a temperature no lower than 7°C for twenty-four (24) hours prior to use.
TapcoSlate may be installed at temperatures as low as 0°C but must be hand fastened, the use of a pneumatic gun below 7°C will result in cracking and webbing in the fastened area.
