Planning
For planning the layout, measure the perimeter of the building
and divide by 8 ft. (2.44m) to determine the required quantity
of Tetra Contour LS systems. See table below for guidelines
about cutting resolution. For seamless designs, accessories are
available for straight runs and 90 degree corners.
NOTE: Do not use more than one suffix code for each respective
application, as mixing suffix codes may result in appearance
variation. Suffix code can be found on the packaging label.
