    Key Features
  • External sheets may be vertical or horizontal - the same principles of construction apply.
  • Thermal bridging is minimised in the metal construction, provided insulation covers at least 100mm of wall/floor. The Y value is largely controlled by the wall/floor materials.
  • Internal trim should be typically 1.5mm thick, with sealed joints.
  • Ensure internal trim fixing heads do not compromise air seals. Use rivets, or remove temporary hex head types, as work progresses.
  • Use fasteners and seals recommended by manufacturers.
