I wanted to talk about the architectural and the commercial industrial cold storage panels that are fastened to the exterior sheet as sheeting to the exterior of a metal building and how it's fastened. The KS42 series panel, and they do have these panels in a variety of different widths, but the standard, industry standard, is the KS42, and that's the commercial industrial panel. These are concealed joints, they're hidden joints, so if you look at that profile, the way these two edges come together, there is a slight undulation on the fastening side of this panel, which if you pull it apart, you'll see this has a small groove in it, and basically what that groove is for is it allows you to put a concealed clip in the undulation there, and then you run a match tolerance bit, and you run a screw through the panel and into the steel.

You've got a concealed clip that goes into the panel edge. You field drill, match line, this bit, this fastener, and this will give you a pilot hole for fastening into the structural steel. And these are stainless steel clips too, so they won't corrode.
