Use the long point of one panel to establish the
short point of the next adjoining panel. Add a
small amount to this measurement to allow for
the required 1/8” gap as determined by the roof
pitch factor. Continue on to the ridge or highest
point. After all rake walls are erected, small
adjustments can be made to make the plane
of the rake flat: either plane off the high spots
on the rake panel skins and re-cut the foam, or
just raise the plate slightly to get a straight line
along the rake/gable.
Recesses can be melted out of the foam when
the foam cutter is placed perpendicular to the
skin and the depth gauge is set to 1-1/2”.
Make sure to blow out the loose foam with
an air nozzle or scrape the recess out before
installing splines.
ALL FLOOR, WALL AND ROOF PANELS CAN BE
FIELD CUT USING THE PRINCIPLES DESCRIBED
HEREIN. DIRECT ANY QUESTIONS TO YOUR
SALES PROFESSIONAL OR THE PREMIER
LOCATION NEAREST YOU.

Before placing panels, pre-assemble the
dimensional lumber, or I-joists, and install them
into the edge recesses along the leading edge
of the panel. Use 5’ bar clamps (if necessary)
to help pull twisted lumber flush to the panel
edges. Nail both sides of the panel 6” o.c.
Premier splines can be installed as you set
each floor panel. They should be placed on the
trailing edge of the installed panel. The Premier
splines should be placed into the recesses as
the panels are being installed. Apply Premier
Mastic as described in the connection section.
