Single Sheathing Panel System
Combining performance tested angle brackets and nail plates, this system provides enhanced racking resistance to timber frames with just one sheathing layer per panel.
Eliminate the need for double sheathing to reduce material cost, save on installation time and improve ease of handling.
Features
- Consists of established, performance tested connectors
- Can be used on a single panel or as part of a combination of multiple panels
- Flexible, non-handed design
- Install using industry standard fixings (CNA4.0x35 paper collated nails)
- Off-site or on-site assembly
- Product nailing patterns available to download
- Performance tested to BS EN 594
Advantages
- Reduced material cost and assembly time
- Increased flexibility for building designers
- Easier to handle and transport due to weight reduction
- Prevents the risk to installer of hitting nails on first sheathing layer

Combined Racking Panels - Example Configuration
When panels are installed into a building, or overall system, the overall racking resistance will be cumulative. The resistance of each individual panel is to be counted as a stand-alone item.
The overall racking resistance can then be accumulated in accordance with the relevant British Standards (using BS methodology).
