Copperclad resource · PDFHow to use these resources
Use typical guidance to plan. Resolve the actual building properly.
These resources can help architects and builders compare typical approaches and coordinate the metal package. They do not replace project-specific design, current manufacturer guidance or checks for the actual building.
- Use typical details and coordination checklists as design aids.
- Check the current manufacturer manual for the selected product.
- Check each document's revision date and stated limits of use.
- Resolve fabrication and installation sequencing for the live project.
