How this node works

Two cellular panels meet inside an aluminium H-profile that grips both with gaskets. The panel ends are not pushed home: a gap is left to the central web so the panels can expand and contract with temperature; a slotted screw fixes the profile while still letting it move. It is this freedom that keeps the wall flat.
