APPLICATION GUIDE (according to ENV 12872:2000) STACKING Boards should be stacked horizontally upon flat surfaces, conveniently away from the ground and with a sufficient number of supports to prevent the lower panels from overload. Intermediate battens are recommended between every 15 to 20 panels for ventilation, in line with the lower vertical battens. It is recommended that the battens are placed parallel to the shorter sides and along the entire length of the stack. It is recommended that the ends do not exceed 150 mm. When packets are stacked, it is recommended that the supports are aligned...

CUTTING AND PROFILING The machining quality of the surfaces decreases with increased moisture contents. When greater precision is required, it is recommended that the boards be cut to size after packaging according to the moisture content of the end use. Mechanization with power tools The use of carbide or diamond tools and blades is recommended for increased service life. Saw blades with alternating teeth are recommended. It is recommended that circular saw discs are placed as low as possible in order to prevent chipping when the board comes out the back of the saw. If the speed is too slow,...

USE IN MEZZANINES AND FLOOR SLABS The choice of boards for floor slab structural enclosures upon beams depends on the required load stresses, spans, mechanical characteristics and class of service. We recommend using wood-based panels only for floor slab enclosures in conditions corresponding to service class 1. min. 8 mm STARTING TO WORK Structure preparation It is recommended to align and level supporting edge joists, studs and braces. It is recommended that wood, wood-based panels and structural elements not be unnecessarily exposed to more severe climate conditions than those they will have...

MOUNTING SUPERPAN TECH IN FLOOR SLAB ENCLOSURES We recommend placing tongue and groove boards transversely to the joists, with their shorter sides supported on a joist or upon any other edge support. It is recommended that straight edged boards be continuously supported on all four sides with the shorter sides supported upon joists and the larger ones upon crossbars or joint-covers. All perimeter edges of the board or those obtained from cutting should be supported by studs or joists. It is recommended that the joints of the smaller side of the boards are placed alternately, for whatever type...
