Soffit Panel is designed to be utilized over open structural framing, but can easily be used with a solid substrate.

For solid substrate applications, the recommended substrate is

" plywood with a 30 pound felt moisture bar-

rier. To avoid panel distortion, use a properly aligned and uniform substructure.

Soffit Panels are available in a 12" width with a 1" rib height.

Lengths under 5'-0" are available with some cutting restrictions. Maximum recommended panel length is 20'-0"

for 24 gauge flat or striated panels and 5'-0" for 26 gauge with striations (26 gauge soffit panel is not to be used

for wall applications). Longer panels require additional consideration in packaging, shipping, and erection.

Please consult your Metal Sales branch for recommendations (see PGI-2 and 3 for locations).

26 Gauge, 24 Ga., 22 Ga. (Minimum quantity may apply),

.032 aluminum is available solid or perforated (Linen White only). For perforated soffit, perforations are 1/8"

diameter holes on 1/4" centers (staggered). This spacing yields 23% open area.
