What this detail covers
- Connecting panels using a SIP spline.
- The intended design tolerance per joint (typically ~2mm) so joints close correctly.
Key steps
- Apply PU adhesive to the mating faces as shown.
- Install the SIP spline and bring panels together.
- Fix as specified (often nails/screws per schedule) while keeping the joint straight.
Checks
- Joint closes tight without “springing” or forcing panels out of plumb.
- Adhesive is continuous along the full joint line.
- Tolerance is respected so cumulative errors don’t build up across the elevation.
Common mistakes
- Forcing tight joints when the issue is alignment/tolerance earlier in the run.
- Missing adhesive continuity at panel ends.
Indicative only: always follow the engineer’s fixing schedule and the project drawings.
