Fast Facts

• Pinnacle structural panels are to be installed according to the APA’s (The Engineered Wood Association) Construction Guide E30 and the appropriate building code.
• We recommend screwing panels in place.
• Allow 1/8″ spacing on the 4′ edges and lightly butt the T&G together.
• Install panels with the major strength axis perpendicular to supports.
• Install T&G panels with the APA grade stamp down.
• Fastener spacing – consult your local building codes for local requirements and specifications and the APA Construction Guide E30.
• Gluing sub-Floor panels is always recommended and may be required. We recommend the use of PL 400 subfloor adhesive. At a minimum, sub-floor adhesives must meet current industry test standards. If glue is used, apply only enough glue to install 2 or 3 panels at a time and fully fasten the panels before continuing.
