KomastyleDeco – General Installation Guide

1. BEFORE INSTALLATION

Panels should be allowed to acclimate to room temperature and humidity for a minimum of 24 hours. Ideally the temperature and humidity during acclimation should be the same as the final operating conditions.

2. SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

The wall substrate must be DRY and FREE from DIRT, DUST and GREASE. Walls should be flat and even. Remove high spots and fill low spots. Remove wallpaper, soluble or loose paint and other foreign matter that would interfere with a good adhesive bond.

3. INSTALLATION TEMPERATURE

A minimum ambient temperature of 14°c / 57°F is necessary in all installation areas.

4. METHOD OF FIXING

Panels can be installed either with adhesive or fasteners or a combination of the two. The choice of which method to use depends upon the room conditions and wall conditions.

5. APPLYING ADHESIVE

Use our fast grab one part MS Polymer adhesive. Available in cartridges or foils. Adhesive can be applied directly to the back of the panel or the wall.

6. JOINING DETAIL

All joints to be covered with 2-part PVC / Aluminium division bars (‘H’ Sections).

7. CORNER DETAIL

Internal and external corners to be covered with preformed PVC / Aluminium corner profiles. Alternatively our KomastyleDeco panels may be thermoformed on site.

8. EDGE DETAIL

All exposed edges to be closed with 2-part PVC / Aluminium capping strip (‘J’ section).

9. INSTALLATION FINISHING

Food Grade / Sanitary silicone sealant should be applied in all mouldings and around all panel edges, fasteners, and fixtures to provide moisture proof installation.

10. SERVICE PREPARATIONS

Leave a 3-4mm gap around all holes to allow for silicone sealant
