Screws, nails and adhesive: matching the fixing system
Follow the fixing schedule for the chosen lining or cladding system. Compare fastener and adhesive choices against the actual substrate and installation conditions, rather than substituting them solely because they are on hand.
Define the selection
Use the current installation schedule for the exact system. Keep the substrate, selected fastener and accessory information together so any proposed substitution can be checked before materials are ordered or installed.
Check before comparing products
- Framing material and fixing schedule.
- Fastener type, length and coating.
- Adhesive compatibility and joint details.
Build a material list that can be checked
Record the selected product name or SKU, each required size and the quantity for each work area. Use the actual listed coverage when estimating packs or boards, and confirm the allowance with your installer. Include compatible accessories and keep a copy of the agreed selections.
