Fitting Polycarbonate Sheet Fixing Buttons

Fixing button diagramFixing button diagram

The following general pointers are offered to help you best fit the polycarbonate sheet fixing buttons:

  • Use a sharp steel drill bit instead of a wood one
  • Drill at least 40mm away from the edge
  • Drill between the ribs
  • Do not over-tighten the screw fixing and squash the sheets - as a guide the button should not touch the sheet
  • Using an 18mm drill bit will allow the sheet to move due to natural expansion and contraction
  • If using a large sheet the use of a purlin can be used.
  • Use to fix into purlins, noggins or rafters.
