Pre-Install
Planning
between ceiling trusses. If building is insulated, PRIOR TO INSTALLING
PANELS, use 3mm poly sheeting to create a vapor barrier on walls and ceilings. A
24" clearance shield should be maintained between panels and Radiant Tube
Heaters and ceiling furnaces. The panels have a
120° F (55°C) heat distortion threshold. Installing ceiling fans and blowers around
heating devices to circulate hot air throughout facility is highly recommended. It is
the installer responsibility to select the proper fasteners for the application.

! Panel installed should run 90° to the ceiling trusses or furring strips.
! When installing wall and ceilings place inside corner around the perimeter of
the ceiling with the wide flange up.
! When installing walls only, fasten inside corner around the perimeter of
building wall flush with the ceiling panels, wide flange down or with
! J-Cap creating a channel to terminate wall panel.
! To accommodate expansion and contraction, cut panel ½ shorter, leaving a ¼
on each end for movement when installed.
! Take first panel and place face down (shinny side) at one end of the ceiling
with the tongue facing wall and the groove flange facing the direction you are
installing panels (parallel with outside wall). The perimeter trim must be able
to cover fasteners, keep within 1" of wall.
! For the 1st panel only you must fasten both the tongue and groove sides of
panel. All other panels, fasten through the groove flange, every 16" - 24" at
each rafter with the recommended screw for type of substrate.
! Continue installing panels, by placing the tongue of the second panel into the
groove of the first panel. Push and lock panels together loosely and fasten the
second panel through flange at every rafter, just like the 1st panel.
Periodically, check to make sure you are installing the panel square with the
outside wall or the panels will look uneven.
! You may need to trim down last panel to complete install. Measure remaining
space distance at the groove edge of panel. Cut panel ¼ short of
measurement, allowing 1" wall trim to cover edge. Slide the last panel in to
complete ceiling.
