The Spline panel connection is very good at preventing vertical separation of panels;
however, there is little to no protection against horizontal separation.
Expansion and contraction due to variations in temperature and hard hockey stops will
separate these panels. Perimeter locking devices are not successful in eliminating these
problems.
The Spline panel should only be used in situations where
the temperature can be kept constant.
As little as a 10 degree swing in temperature
will cause the floor to expand or contract, leaving gaps between the panels.
Spline panels are less expensive but offer challenges.
Panels are 53.5 inches x 95.5 inches in size.
