Use only one nail into each 4’ spline to hold it
in place. Do not nail off the spline until the next
panel is in place. Refer back to the connections
section for proper mastic placement.
Before placing the panels on the floor support
beams, tack a dry-line spaced 1/2”–3/4” out
from the entire length of the support beam.
Use temporary bracing to help hold these
beams in place. When setting the panels, make
sure the beam stays straight by checking your
string line.
Start by placing your first panel on a corner.
Use Premier Panel Screws as shown on the
shop drawings or described by the engineer
of record, to attach the first panel to the
supporting beams. Do not tighten the screws
on the edges of the panels until your rim board
is in place. Also, leave the last two screws on
the leading edge loose until you have set your
next panel. Once the next panel is in place,
screw the previous one tight and repeat the
process. Install blocking for point loads per
engineered plans as shown above to the right.
