Instructions for installing tilted sunshade louvers using 2-layer polymer-coated wood-plastic louvers

Polymer-coated 2-layer wood plastic slats (2-layer wood plastic slats) are used to make sunshade slats, pergola flower trellises, signs, and facades, with a lifespan of 15-20 years. Kosmos commits to a 3-year quality warranty.

When constructing inclined sunshade louvers, you need to pay attention to the following 6 things:

1. Thread the stainless steel bar or galvanized steel bar into the slat.
2. Lam box construction on the frame with distance between bars ≤100cm (≤1m).
3. The slats are connected to the crossbars through L-shaped iron brackets by stainless steel screws.
4. The box must be pre-drilled before fixing through the skeleton.
5. Slats 10mm from wall and corner.
6. When it is necessary to connect the slats, The distance between 2 connecting bars is from 3 - 5mm..

Step 1: Prepare materials and tools for constructing sunshade trellis with Polymer box slats

Supplies

Below are 7 types of materials you need to prepare:

1. Stainless steel or galvanized steel bar
2. 2-layer polymer coated wood plastic slats (LAM60X42, LAM100X50)
   
3. Bar end cap (NL60X42, NL100X50)
   
4. Iron plate L
5. Stainless steel screw with pee tail
6. Code
7. Iron anchor.

Note on how to use iron bracket L:

L-shaped iron plate has size 50x30mm, made from 304 stainless steel with 2 round holes and 2 elliptical holes in 1 bracket.

1. Round hole: Fix the L-shaped iron bracket on the stainless steel or galvanized steel bar
2. Elliptical bore: Used to fix the slats.

Refer to the image below for screw positions for the iron bracket. In addition, any direction of the iron bracket (long, short) when placed on the crossbar or slat is fine.

Tool

6 necessary tools for the construction process of 2-polymer wood plastic box slats include:

1. Welding machine, angle cutting machine, drilling machine, laser machine, grinding machine
2. Tape measure, protractor.

Step 2: Measure, cut and thread the stainless steel box or galvanized steel box into the wood plastic slats

Note: The iron core is threaded into the slat, leaving about 2cm at each end of the slat (this is the distance to cover the slat).

Step 3: Cover the end of the slat with a plastic slat end cap

Cover one end of the slat with a plastic slat end cap using Kosmos exterior glue. Leave the other end uncovered to secure with the L-shaped iron bracket to the beam.

Step 4: Build the skeleton

Column section

1. Welding stainless steel or galvanized steel bars with brackets
2. Fix the bracket to the concrete floor with 12mm iron anchors for security.

Weld the iron box with the code board and fix the code board to the concrete floor with 12mm iron anchors for security.

4 pillars have been fixed under the concrete foundation

Roof

Weld 4 tie beams to the column with a distance between beams ≤100cm.

Step 5: Install 2-layer polymer-coated wood-plastic slats on the roof

1. Measure and mark the position where the L-shaped iron bracket will be installed on the beam (this distance depends on the user's needs). Then, drill a pilot hole and screw 304 stainless steel to fix the L-shaped iron bracket on the beam.

Mark the position where the L-shaped iron bracket will be installed on the beam.

Drill a pilot screw into the pilot hole right on the round hole on the L-shaped iron bracket to fix the L-shaped iron bracket to the frame.

Place the first slat in the correct position to mark the installation location of the L-shaped iron bracket on the front beam and the middle reinforcement beam.

Drill a pilot screw into the pilot hole right on the round hole on the L-shaped iron bracket to fix the L-shaped iron bracket to the frame.

2. The louvers are secured by L-shaped brackets at the elliptical holes using 304 stainless steel screws as shown in the image (the louvers must be pre-drilled before being fixed to the frame). After installing one row of brackets, one box louver is secured, and this process is repeated until completion.

Fix the first slat to the inner tie beam

Shoot stainless steel screws into the elliptical hole to fix the slat to the L-shaped iron bracket.

3. Do the same for the remaining slats until the end of the project.

Do the same with the remaining slats until the entire area to be constructed is covered.

Length of slats ≤3m

Every 3-6 months, the project needs to be checked and periodically maintained to ensure the best lifespan of the project. If any abnormalities are detected in screws or slats, the construction unit must be notified immediately.

Note: Instructions are for reference only. To have the most suitable construction plan, it is necessary to survey the specific project and come up with an optimal construction solution.

In addition to being used for sunshade roof cladding, 2-layer polymer-coated outdoor wood plastic box panels are also used for wall cladding..
