Example of a 3-sided structural beam cladding

1. Steel angles are fixed on both sides of the beam. Take the measurement between the outside faces of the angles (A). Measure the depth of the beam (Y) and add 6mm plus the thickness of the VERMICULUX^® board (X). Cut the boards, one to dimension A and two to dimension X. Fix the two boards into the angles using self-tapping screws or dry wall screws .

2. Fix the remaining board between the side panels with all transverse joints between soffit and side boards staggered.

3. Repeat the above along the whole length of the beam structure.

Example of a 4-sided structural column cladding

1. Measure the column and add 6mm to each dimension to provide 3mm all round clearance. Add twice the thickness of the VERMICULUX^® board to the web dimension. Determine the most economic way to cut the boards, and cut the board so that the rebate will be at the transverse joint. Make up a 3-sided box by edge screwing the VERMICULUX^® boards.

2. Remove the rebate from the bottom of all four sides of the first sections and ensure that the casing is level and square. Place the 3-sided box in position and fix the fourth side.

3. Repeat the above steps as you go up to the column, bearing in mind that the rebates are reversed on alternate sections.
