Frequently Asked Questions regarding Spaceballs

Question:	How much space should I leave around my panel?
Answer:	A minimum 5/32 of a inch is suggested per side and top and bottom. During the drier time periods you could allow for an additional 1/16. This would allow even more expansion space if the panel is exposed to excessive or extreme humidity changes.

Question:	How many space balls per door?
Answer:	We suggest two balls per side, and top and bottom. If the door is extra wide we suggest putting 3 space balls in the top and bottom rails. This would allow for the additional weight of the panel.
Question:	How should the space balls be spaced ?
Answer:	We suggest that they are equally spaced across the stile and rail. Some designer/builders have also placed the space balls closer to the corners. Either placement works well.
