24 hours before installation. It is preferable to store them inside the actual
area of installation or, at least under similar climate conditions.

Pre-drill fastener holes before applying adhesive
- Fastener holes should be
slightly oversize to allow for normal expansion and contraction

further than 8" apart an 1" from outside edge, 16" apart on intermediate
an on 16" centers.
