TRAUFIX – the fitting aid for precise installation of metal panels at the eaves

Now supplied with the new stainless steel handle for moving the TRAUFIX along efficiently!

Every experienced sheet metal roofer knows the problem when seaming metal panels at the eaves: without a solid expansion gap gauge, the eaves fold is often closed too tight, which leads to the dreaded capillary action. With TRAUFIX, this problem is a thing of the past.
The well-engineered TRAUFIX spacer creates a continuous expansion gap for the metal panels at the eaves.
Together with an eaves closer, TRAUFIX allows the eaves edge to be formed with the correct allowance for expansion. This ensures precise and durable eaves installation.
Seaming aluminium panels is particularly easy with TRAUFIX: the eaves fold can be made by hand with the expansion gap gauge, with no further tools. That saves time and increases efficiency during installation.

How to use

TRAUFIX is placed at the eaves and clamped under the metal panel above it. The slots on both sides act as a template for notching the seam at regular intervals. Once the panel has been cut to length, it is folded around the TRAUFIX.
The gap this creates stops capillary action and lets the metal move with changes in temperature.

Suitable for all standing seam roofs

With aluminium this can be done by hand. Stainless steel, copper and galvanised steel need an eaves folder or offset seaming pliers. Once the fold is done, move the TRAUFIX along and use it for the next panel.
