01 Aligning Sheet Height and Width with Steel Stud Grids
Prefabricated panel lines and modular volumetric factories rely on repeatable stud spacing (such as 417 mm or 625 mm centres matched to 1250 mm wide boards) and story-height sheets (2500 mm, 2800 mm or 3000 mm where confirmed) to eliminate horizontal waist joints.
- Confirm exact nominal tolerances before locking automated CNC or factory framing jigs.
- Distinguish between exterior facade thickness candidates (8–12 mm) and interior dry-lining variants.
- Account for horizontal overlap loss (30–40 mm per course) when ordering SF-SIDING cladding planks.
