PREFERRED METHOD:
Fabrication Type – Folded Rolled Edges

Folded rolled edges give a completely encapsulated finish to the sheet, which hides the core of the panel from view.

1. Allowance is made for the edge fold in the measurement as per below:

2. Panels are rebated behind the edge fold section to allow for the panel to be rolled over, giving the following

finished edge detail:

3. The slight overlap of the fold is retained to allow for the thickness of the double sided tape and silicone

fastening to the wall.

4. This method is ideally suited to installations where more than one sheet is required to span the wall. It gives a

premium join appearance by concealing the cut edge of the sheet.
