entire perimeter frame.

When the outer frame is complete then introduce the BXF-SB
support brace profile. The support profile is attached along the
smallest dimension (width or height) and a minimum of two
supports are required. Additional supports are applied at a
maximum spacing of 750mm. Support sections are cut 37mm
shorter then the overall height/width and are secured in place
along the inside back edge with a rivet fixing.
When a frame is supplied in sections you introduce the
required BXF-JS 5mm aluminium joining strip. The strip slides
into the extrusion frame and is secured with a rivet into one
section only. The second side is secured on site during
installation with a self-tapping screw (if required).
An additional BXF-SB brace is also introduced to the inside
face edge staggered to the frame joint to allow a solid butt
joint in the face panel.
