Instructions for installing ASA flat plastic cladding panels under glass, polycarbonate, and corrugated metal roofs.
Installation of ASA plastic cladding panels. under glass, polycarbonate, and corrugated iron roofs (Code G-OP112X16) by securing the tongue and groove joint with stainless steel brackets and screws. The panels are connected to each other via the tongue and groove joint on the panel edges.
The G-OP112X16 ceiling panel installations must be constructed on a frame that meets the following four conditions:
- Durable material: Galvanized steel bars or stainless steel bars.
- Sturdy dimensions: Bar thickness ≥1,2mm, side length ≥25mm.
- Safe distance: Distance between bone bars ≤30cm.
- Construction in the correct direction: The support beams must be installed perpendicular to the direction of the panel installation. Specifically, for vertical panel installation, install horizontal support beams; for horizontal panel installation, install vertical support beams.



Step 1: Prepare tools and materials for installing ASA G-OP112X16 plastic cladding panels. under glass, polycarbonate, and corrugated iron roofs
8 essential materials needed when installing ASA plastic cladding panels. under glass, polycarbonate, and corrugated iron roofs the:
- Reinforcing bar (material: stainless steel, galvanized steel; dimensions: side ≥25mm, thickness ≥1,2mm)
- ASA plastic cladding panel (G-OP112X16)
- ASA plastic V-shaped trim (G-V45X45)
- Insulation materials (silver foam 5mm or more, heat-insulating corrugated iron, plastic foam)
- Stainless steel flathead screws (using the flathead to securely fasten the screw to a rigid support beam)
- Copper nail
- Kosmos Exterior Glue
- Stainless steel kettle


Step 2: Construct an additional frame structure to install ASA plastic cladding panels under the glass, polycarbonate, or corrugated metal roof.
Construct a new frame layer (stainless steel or galvanized steel, each bar has the following dimensions) ≥25 x 25mm, thickness ≥1,2mm). At the connection point of 2 panels, 2 double ribs with a distance of 5mm are needed.
Vertical ceiling panels Using a welding machine, weld the ribs firmly with the distance between the ribs. ≤30cm horizontally, the weld needs to be smoothed and painted with anti-rust paint. | Horizontal ceiling tiles Using a welding machine, weld the ribs firmly with the distance between the ribs. ≤30cm vertically, the weld needs to be smoothed and painted with anti-rust paint. |


Step 3: Install the insulation material onto the frame.
After having a new skeleton system, install a layer of insulation material (silver foam 5mm thick or more, heat-insulating corrugated iron or plastic foam) on top of this skeleton and fix it with glue or stainless steel screws.

Step 4: Weld the new frame onto the existing frame for the glass, polycarbonate, or corrugated iron roof.
Weld the new frame (a frame with pre-installed insulation) to the existing frame of the glass, polycarbonate, or corrugated iron roof.
- The weld should be smoothed and painted with anti-rust paint.
- The distance between the new frame and the glass, polycarbonate, or corrugated iron roof should be 300-500mm.
- The frame is slightly sloped outwards by 2-3% to prevent rainwater from seeping back in.
- The gap between the frame and the wall (if any) should be 7-10mm. This is a safe distance to allow for the expansion of the frame and the ASA-coated wood-plastic composite panels.

Step 5: Install the ASA-coated flat plastic cladding panels onto the frame.
Secure the ASA-coated flat plastic cladding panel (G-OP112X16) to the ceiling frame using Kosmos exterior adhesive, brackets, and stainless steel screws, specifically:
- Apply adhesive to the frame before installing the cladding panels.
- Place the ASA plastic sheet (G-OP112X16) in the position where glue has been applied to the frame.
- Attach the brackets to the grooves of the ASA panel, and secure the panel to the frame by drilling screws into the holes in the brackets.
- Install the male tongue and groove joint to conceal the female tongue and groove joint of the ASA plastic panel.
Perform the process of securing the female and male tongue-and-groove joints continuously until the entire wall surface is covered. A gap of 7-10mm should be left at the end point against the wall for installing the V-shaped trim.







Step 5: Cover the edges of the ceiling panel (ASA G-OP112X16) with V-shaped trim.
There are two ways to secure the V-shaped trim to the ASA G-OP112X16 plastic cladding panels during construction. bare the:
- Secure the trim with adhesive and stainless steel screws (flip-top/fish-tail type), with the screw holes spaced ≤300mm (≤30cm).
- Secure the trim with adhesive and a nail gun, ensuring the nail holes are spaced ≤100mm (≤10cm) apart.
Note: When joining V-shaped trim strips at right angles, cut both ends of the trim strip at a 45-degree angle.


*Kosmos recommends
To ensure the durability and aesthetic appeal of ASA plastic panel ceilings, and to prevent rainwater from accumulating and causing mold, customers should install additional "water seals" to ensure the ceiling's longevity.
A water line is a line that is usually raised with mortar on balconies and loggias. A water cut-off strip/water hook can be used instead. This detail prevents rainwater from flowing back into the ceiling.
