2.2 Spacer Fixings
Spacer system to be fixed to purlins with self-drilling screws, (normally two per bracket), minimum length 25mm.
3.0 Thermal Insulation
3.1 Insulation Specification
Thermal Insulation to be mineral fibre roll. All edges to be close butted to achieve continuity. Ensure insulation is not compressed between outer and liner sheets.
3.2 Insulation Thickness
To be as required to achieve the specified ‘U’ value.
4.0 Lining

5.2 Flashings Fasteners
Flashings and trims to be fixed at centres not exceeding 300mm using screws or sealed aluminium rivets at 150mm maximum centres.
5.3 Flashings Laps
