Fitting Requirements

Trim out a suitable opening and fix noggins spanning between trusses to form a clear opening of 562mm x 726mm. Fit a layer of 10mm plasterboard 95mm up the edge of the joist. This leaves an opening of 542mm x 706mm. Offer up the door and frame in the open position ensuring it sits squarely and flush against the ceiling. Use 50mm long woodscrews to secure the frame through the 16 no. pre punched holes. Seal around the joint between the frame and ceiling using a fire resistant mastic.
