Fixing AIR-CELL^® to the underside of purlins or inside of girts:-

1. Roll out rolls with the woven scrim side facing down.
2. Fix to the purlins or girts using 12g x 25mm Tek screws or similar.
3. Use 4 screws across the width of the roll at each purlin or girt, with one 25mm from each edge and the other two at approx. 430mm centers.
4. For neatest finish, butt joins rolls and tape joins with 72mm reinforced aluminium tape. Alternatively, roll s can be overlapped by 50mm and taped as above.
5. At connections between purlin, or girt, and frame cut a slot in the AIR-CELL^® to allow it to pass over or behind the frame.
6. Neatly cut AIR-CELL^® around penetrations and tape if necessary.
7. Reveal skylights by lining beneath, as for roof, and then cut down the center and diagonally to the corners forming flaps. Curl these flaps back under the roof to reveal the skylight and fix in position by taping or otherwise.
