Storage and Transport

When transporting PREFA materials, handle the packing units carefully. 

Secure open units or sheet metal parts against falling in strong winds. Protect cardboard packaging stored on the roof against the rain with a tarpaulin. It must be stored upright on a level surface . The stored goods should be protected and stored dry. 

Damp rooms should be avoided.

The stored goods should be protected from alkaline influences (mortar, concrete, lime or cement dust, etc.), as well as lye or acid vapors, salt (e.g. road salt). 

Please note that in the case of uncoated aluminium, black or white stains may occur as a result of water (e.g. via condensation or precipitation). This does not affect the lifespan, unless other chemical influences contribute to further decomposition of the aluminium. 

Note

The manufacturer's packaging is a protective cover for transport only. Aluminium panels must be stored and transported vertically and on an even support.
