  3. Laying: Begin by laying sheets in a staggered order to avoid lining joints. Leave an inch (approximately 2 millimetres) between sheets to allow for expansion of the heat.
  4. Fastening: Sheets must be secured to the substrate with the appropriate nails or screws, based on the instructions of the manufacturer. Make sure that fasteners are flush to the surface to prevent protrusions.
