Eaves

• For pitched roofs above 20-degree fix aluminium angle EL17 to supporting structure with self drilling screws at 180mm maximum centres, or otherwise calculated.
• Lay light panel units into angles and ensure joints are correctly interlocked. Insert plastics locking bars into joints between units.
• Insert profile filler, reference EL136, between underside of light panel units and face of supporting structure.
• When 4 light panel units have been laid, fix first 2 units. Place EL154 clamping washers over 2 of every 3 ribs in material and drill 5.5mm dia hole through material to supporting structure. Fix to timber with 5 x 100mm woodscrews EL56 or to steel structure with self drilling screws EL158.
• Lay 2 further light panel units and repeat procedure.

Intermediate supports

• Thermal movement of the material must be considered when screw fixing to intermediate supports. Generally, 1 of every 6 ribs is fixed.
• If there are 2 or more supports, this fixing interval is staggered, creating a ‘diamond’ pattern. The fixing incorporates the use of the EL154 clamping washer with the appropriate screw fixing as stated above.
