The sections of the support battens are determined according to climatic loads. Use roof battens only if the section is suitable to support climatic loads and if they are positionned according to the GSE battening plan (refer to the online documents)

Recommended batten section : 27×100 mm (use minimum 25×50 mm)
For other dimensions of sections, refer to the paragraphs 2.3.2 and 2.4.2 of the installation manual.

  1. Fix the 1st half-frame through its middle fixation point and through the 2 other fixation points on the upper plot already pre-drilled.
  2. Assemble the other half-frames laterally thanks to the ergot and vertically. Fix them the same way than described in 1.

Lateral flashings

  1. Place the wedges beneath the ridges of the frame
  2. Flashings are placed on each other (150mm overlapping)
  3. Straight to the clamps position, pre-drill through the flashing, plastic frame and wedge.
