Ametalin ThermalCav™ Drainage Battens are typically installed to the exterior side of the structural/ steel framing of building envelope after installing the pliable building membrane.
It is recommended to install Ametalin ThermalCav™ Drainage Battens at the same time as the outer roof or wall cladding; this will ensure optimal durability and performance.
Fixings are intended to penetrate through the Ametalin ThermalCav™ Drainage Battens and into the structural framing member below. Ensure that any fixings are length adjusted to meet depth requirements for that particular fixing method.
- Pliable building membrane is installed to the roof or wall frame construction in accordance with AS 4200.2:2017.
- Locate the structural member to which the Ametalin ThermalCav™ Drainage Battens is to be applied to. eg: studs, plates, rafters, purlins etc
- Ensure that the surfaces to be adhered to are clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, oil and other contaminants.
- Peel back the release liner from the strip.
