What this detail covers
- Typical wall panel connection layout and spacing (often 1200 centres).
- The difference between joints with solid timber and “no timber” joints (where specified).
How to use it on a real job
- Confirm the panel thickness and joint type in the kit drawings/spec.
- Keep panel joints aligned to the intended centres to match openings and structural intent.
- Use the corresponding rebate/spline prep details before closing joints.
Checks
- Joint type matches the drawings for that panel run.
- Panel centres and openings line up with the layout drawings.
Common mistakes
- Mixing joint types within a run (creates fit-up and fixing issues).
- Drifting off the grid early, then “correcting” later with site cuts.
Indicative only: always follow the engineer’s fixing schedule and the project drawings.
