    Ask the cladding manufacturer for their details.

    Im doing a project on steel portal frame structures for an assignment and I'm using a car dealership at Airside Swords, I have to mention a number of aspects and the attachment is one of them, it does look like its screws, as you say.

    I have contacted the architect to try get information on the structural side of things.

    They scew the insulated sheets onto light galvanised purlins at about 1 - 1.5m centres depending on portal frame spacing and sheet lengths etc. I had a similiar design to do in college. All the info is there on the main panel manufacturers website. type "xxxxxxxx Panels". Don't think i can mention manufacturer name. Drawing detals and everything there.

    The company do cavity boards, insulated plasterboard and solar tubes... Biggest insulation manufacturers in ireland.

    im going to close this as its skirting very close to breaking the forum charter.

    to the OP, contact the manufacturers for their recommendations.
