‘SHEET FIXING
PRIMAflex™ cladding sheets are normally installed vertically
to minimize the number of horizontal sheet joints. Refer to
Figure 16. When installed as eaves or celling linings,
PRIMAflex™ can be laid parallel to or across the joist as
shown in Figure 17 and Figure 18.
Fastener fixing distances:-
‘12mm from edge
‘= 50mm from corner
+ 200mm centres at perimeter
+ 300mm centre at elsewhereasAlternative vertical jointing systems which include Timber
Batten Jointing, PVC Jointing and Flexible Sealant Jointing
are illustrated in Figure 19 to Figure 21.
