Panel Installation – Wall

Plan your installation

Select panels on colour shade and plan your wall installation, we recommend mixing varying shades randomly.

Room conditions

The room temperature should be between 18-50 C°. The air humidity should be between 25-60%. The humidity in the under laying construction (concrete) should not be higher than 15%.

Wall construction

Gustafs Panel System can be fitted on most types of underlay. Before the fitting commences the fitter must ensure himself that the construction behind is well anchored and dimensioned in order to bear the weight of the panel wall. This applies in particular to high walls and large areas.

1. Mount the battens on a well anchored wall using a laser alignment.

2. Check that the battens are fully levelled, vertical and horizontal, adjust if necessary.

3. (For acoustic installation) Install the insulation between the joints.

4. Install the first capax profile onto battens. Remove any debris that may have fallen into the profile.

5. Mount the first panel on the first profile.

6. Then attach the panel by fitting the next profile. Sort the panels by colour and wood texture.

6. Continue with the next panel, etc. You can also saw the panels on site if necessary. Be sure to polish the edges of the panel after cutting.

7. Finish with mouldings and corner solutions.

Wood

Wood is a natural product and each veneer is unique. Colour, pattern and structural differences are considered as normal and a part of the décor. Select panels and ribs on colour shade and plan your wall or ceiling installation, we recommend mixing varying shades randomly. Wood changes over time when exposed to UV-light.

Conditions for Storage, Installation and Use

Only for indoor use and not in wet rooms. Storage, Installation and Use at 18-50 C° and 25-60% air humidity. The humidity in the under laying construc-tion (concrete) should not be higher than 15%. Gustafs solutions are sensitive to humidity and water, therefore they should always be stored dry and in-door.

Storage & Transportation

– Do not transport unsecured panels.
– Do not stack pallets.
– Keep the packaging closed during storage.
– Lift panels flat, vertically and one at the time. Panels 1800 mm or longer should be handled by 2 persons and lifted and carried with one of the longest sides upwards to avoid bending.
– Avoid exposure to strong and direct sunlight.

– Cleanings is done by dry mop or vacuum. Use synthetic cleaning fluid without ammonia for greasy stains, fruit, wine and coffee. Blood is removed with cold water.
– Our UV coated and Laminate surfaces are approved for hospital cleaning products containing up to 70% alcohol.

On building site

– Avoid exposure to strong and direct sunlight.
– Do not expose visible surfaces to sharp objects during installation.
– Do not slide products on each other. Lean panels against a wall for short term storage.
– Lean panels against a wall for short term storage.
– Protect both non-installed and installed panels and ribs from impact coming from ladders, trolleys, furniture installation, etc, including all other workers and their tools.
