Everbright E610 polycarbonate light panels Installation guidance Mono-pitched applications: Eaves For pitched roofs above 0-degree fix aluminium angle EL17 to supporting structure with self drilling screws at 180mm maximum centres, or otherwise calculated. Lay light panel units into angles and ensure joints are correctly interlocked. Insert plastics locking bars into joints between units. Insert profile filler, reference EL136, between underside of light panel units and face of supporting structure. When 4 light panel units have been laid, fix first units. Place EL154 clamping washers over of every 3 ribs in material and drill 5.5mm dia hole through material to supporting structure. Fix to timber with 5 x 100mm woodscrews EL56 or to steel structure with self drilling screws Lay further light panel units and repeat procedure. Verges and abutments Place EL154 clamping washers at 600mm centres on final rib in material and drill 5.5mm dia hole through material to supporting structure. Fix to timber with 5 x 100mm woodscrews EL56 or to steel structure with self drilling screws Intermediate supports Thermal movement of the material must be considered when screw fixing to intermediate supports. Generally, 1 of every 6 ribs is fixed. If there are or more supports, this fixing interval is staggered, creating a diamond pattern. The fixing incorporates the use of the EL154 clamping washer with the appropriate screw fixing as stated above. Ridge Pre-drill EL8 locking plate at the same frequency as required for the eaves. Place EL154 clamping washers over of every 3 ribs in material and drill 5.5mm dia hole through material to supporting structure. Place EL8 over material matching pre-drilled holes to clamping washers. Fix to timber with 5 x 100mm woodscrews EL56 or to steel structure with self drilling screws Barrel vault applications: Eaves Fix aluminium angle EL16 to supporting structure with self drilling screws at 180mm maximum centres, or otherwise calculated Lay light panel units into angles and ensure joints are correctly interlocked. Insert plastics locking bars into joints between units. Insert profile filler, reference EL136, between underside of light panel units and face of supporting structure. When 4 light panel units have been laid, fix first units. Drill through aluminium angle and secure units with M8 bolts at predetermined fixing positions. Lay further light panel units and repeat procedure.
