Fixing
If the signboard is part of the building structure the instructions given in The Weathertex Owner/Builder Installation Manual must be followed. This specifies fastener spacings of 200 mm at board edges, 12 mm from the edge, and 300 mm centres throughout the body of the board.
Rigid fixings such as screws and masonry nails or anchors, should not be over-tightened into the signboard surface. Clearance holes should be drilled in the signboard to receive these fasteners and assist product performance.
The following is a guide to fastener types and their preferred maximum spacings:
Fixing to Masonry
Typical fasteners for fixing Weathertex Signboard to masonry or concrete walls include masonry nails and washers, masonry anchors and countersunk or hexagonal head with washer, screw fixings. Plastic inserts and screws may also be used. The fasteners should be selected and applied in accordance with the manufacturer’s advice.
When fixing Weathertex Signboard to masonry or concrete, space the fasteners at 450 mm maximum centres throughout the board. The number of fasteners entering the masonry or concrete can be reduced by providing a frame to support the signboard. Please refer to "Construction Considerations".
Back surfaces and edges of signboards which are to be fixed over masonry or concrete should also be painted to ensure that the board is properly sealed.
JOINTING
The optimum method of jointing is to provide 6 mm minimum clearance between sheets and at joins with other materials. Vertical joins may be formed using Weathertex Joint Trimmers.
