Installation Guide for GRP Hygienic Cladding

To create a professional and durable finish when installing Filon MultiClad GRP panels, the following guidelines are provided to ensure correct installation and avoidance of subsequent problems arising from inappropriate fitting.

When fixing GRP panels to walls and ceiling a complete range of professional quality fittings can be supplied :

Divisional Bar (H section) - used to link panels together.

Capping Strip - used to protect panel edges where there is no corner fitment.

Inside Corner (Small) - used on ceiling corners.

Inside Corner (Large) - used at floor levels and internal corners of walls.

External Corners (F section) - used on external corners of walls.

Glass Filled Nylon 66 Panel Rivets - 6.5mm in dia offered in a range of lengths from

1.7mm to 152.4mm.
As an alternative or in addition to these fittings, suitable adhesives can be used.

Filon MultiClad GRP panels are extremely easy to cut and require no special tooling. They can be affixed directly to walls and ceiling, even tiles.
Mechanical Fitting :

Range of fittings supplied simplifies installation.

Use fittings where damp conditions would prevent curing of adhesives.

Stagger panel riveting on opposing sheet edges and corners to give tight flat

surface.

Adhesive Fitting :

Ensure wall and ceiling surfaces are free of dirt, dust, grease and are dry.

Apply around edges of panel back in vertical lines, not horizontally as falling

brick dust may inhibit adhesion.

Sealant Useage :

Apply sealant to fittings and divisional bars for effective proofing.

Apply sealant to all edges of panels. In very wet areas an extra bead of sealant

should be applied behind panel edges to aid proofing.
