TEL & FAX: 01443 442970 Fitting Instructions for decorative walls and ceilings Once the panels have been installed any heavy items such as mirrors or cabinets must be fixed through into the wall behind. When installing lights in the panels, always ensure the temperature does not exceed 60 deg.C. Also ensure that a gap of 10mm is allowed around the light fitting to prevent distortion of the panels. Cleaning: The panels can be cleaned using warm soapy water and a non abrasive cloth DO NOT: Use the panels externally or where conditions are likely to exceed 60deg.C. or where there are harsh conditions containing solvents or high levels of chemicals which could affect PVC. For further advice or if you require a Decopan fitter to undertake the work for you, please call us on the number below. Applications: PVC decorative panels can be used in kitchens, bathrooms, shower rooms, leisure facilities, changing rooms or anywhere there are humid conditions. In the case of shower rooms or where there is direct water on them, then a bead of clear silicone applied between the joints before installation is recommended. Before installation, allow the panels to acclimatise to the temperature of the room into which they are to be installed, 24 – 48 hrs. is normally sufficient for this. Where the walls are in good condition, the panels can be fixed back by means of an adhesive, we recommend the use of an M S POLYMER, applied by means of a standard mastic gun. In those cases where the walls are not suitable, then it will be necessary to first install a batten framework to which the panels can be mechanically fixed. The panels can be cut using standard hand saws or power saws, though a fine toothed tenon saw is preferable. If a power saw is used the panels need to be cut with the face down. A range of edging and corner trims are available to complement the panels. ...design, build, support and maintenance
