FIXING TO METAL OR TIMBER BATTENS

---

■ If direct fixing is not possible due to uneven surface or the presence of mechanical services, the boards can be fixed to metal or timber battens.

■ Suitable metal battens or 50 x 25 mm timber battens are required at 600mm CRS. This will result in three rows of battens, lining up with the two edges and the centre of the boards. The battens are to be fixed to the soffit as per manufacturer’s recommendations 

■ Use screws at a maximum of 300mm CRS to fix the boards to the furring metal battens. For timber battens use screws or nails at a maximum of 200mm CRS. The screws or nails must be in rows less than 600mm apart. Note: The substrate and fixing materials must be fit for purpose. Design loading on the board is not to exceed 0.375kPa for this fixing pattern. Additional fixings may be required when the boards are subjected to greater wind loads.
