Use mastic on all connections as shown in the PBS details Make sure that both of the wall SIPs skins are bearing on the floor Follow proper nailing requirements according to details and job specific engineering Plumb each SIP in each direction then secure with nails Fill all voids with expanding foam Do not apply interior or exterior materials over wet SIPs Storage amp Handling Your panels will usually arrive on a flatbed truck Depending on the site panels should be off loaded to a clean flat area with sufficient maneuvering room A fork lift will speed the off load process Panels do not come in any particular order This allows for minimized shipping costs by taking full advantage of the space available on the truck It is advisable to sort the panels as you off load them This process will require room to shift and stack the panels accordingly Sort and stack all of the panels by panel ID number and move them as close to their final location as possible Place at least three stickers a maximum of 4 on center o c under the panel stacks to ensure that the panels remain flat The stickers should be a minimum of 3 12 wide Weatherproof tarp EE N support stickers max 4 Inventory the panels as you off load them If one is missing or damaged call PBS immediately We will work to correct the problem as soon as possible Remember you are working with a wood product that m
