‘U’ Channel Fitti ng
The ‘U’ channel is supplied cut to the correct lengths, use the cardboard template provided to positi on
the channel on the fl oor.
The external dimensions of the room are - 1206mm Wide X - 1042mm Deep
It is important that the ‘U’ channel is fi xed squarely so that the panels will lock together when inserted.
It is recommended that there should be no more than 3mm tolerance in the fl oor level, as this can aff ect
the correct locati on of the panels.
Using a spirit level, check fl oor level on all four sides.
If required use packing shims to take up any anomalies in the fl oor.
Once you are sati sfi ed with the level, the U channel can be rawl-plugged or hilti -nailed into positi on,
ensuring it is sealed with silicone sealer between the fl oor and the channel to prevent moisture
penetrati on. Apply ‘masti c sealer’ to the inside of the channel to provide a vapour seal when the panels
are located.
