Installation
Fix fascia lengths to support structure using suitable fixings, for timber use (No. 10 or 12) x (35-38mm) stainless steel wood screws (or good quality sheradised, zinc plated, or cadmium plated) through slotted holes (made on site minimum 11 x 7mm or oversized 8mm diameter hole) to allow for thermal expansion to take place.
Fixings are required at least 300mm from the end of a 3 metre length and at 600mm maximum centres.
Secure the union piece (supplied with every length and angle) behind the fascia with low modulus silicone sealant leaving a 3-4mm thermal expansion gap between the next section.
Paint over cut ends with touch up paint to prevent the powder coating from peeling back.
