Possible Causes
Missing or loose Heliocol roof anchors, Fasteners pulled out of roof substrate, Thermal expansion without adequate sliding supports, Incorrect installation spacing
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Use proper fall protection and roof safety practices. Do not step directly on panels; walk on roof areas adjacent to panels.
- Inspect mounting hardware: Check all Heliocol roof anchors, straps, and clips for looseness, corrosion, or missing components.
- Re-secure anchors: Tighten loose fasteners into solid roof framing. Replace stripped or rusted screws with appropriate stainless-steel hardware.
- Add supports: Install additional approved Heliocol mounting hardware where spans exceed recommended distances to prevent sagging.
- Allow for expansion: Ensure panels can expand and contract along their length without binding, following Heliocol installation guidelines.
