Design to Modular Sizes To reduce labour time and minimse cost, make the most of the modular sizes by designing new-build projects to the external frame sizes shown here. Fitting to Non-Modular Sizes Panel length and width can be cut to fit to an existing, non-modular frame size. If necessary, the length should be cut at the opposite end to the Pre-Cut Drip. |
