Walls
Time should be spent to organize the job site.
Set out the panels in the order you are going to
use them. Get all your tools onto the floor deck,
including:
• Foam scoop
• Marker
• Flat dolly—for moving panels around the deck
(A come-along or truckers ratchet straps is
not needed, but may prove useful.)
STEP 1. BOTTOM PLATE
Wall panels are placed over a dimensional
bottom plate that fits in the recess in the wall
panel. Refer to your panel layout drawings for
the location of the bottom plate. The plate will
be measured 1/2” in from the outside edge
of your floor. Snap a chalk line on the floor,
equal to the plate width + 1/2” to represent the
inside edge of the bottom plate. Panel skins
should run flush to the floor edge. Apply double
3/8” lines of Premier Mastic 1” from the edge
of the plate and nail it off with (3) 16d nails per
floor joist or 12” o.c. to floor system below, or
as required by code.
