GENERAL NOTES ON FIXING PANELS
Panels can be fixed direct to battens or walls using Hydropanel adhesive. It is recommended that the panels are fixed to battens to provide air space behind. Fix treated timber battens approximately 45mm x 21 mm horizonally with one at the head and one at the base of the panels. Additional horizontal battens should be a maximum distance of 500mm apart. They should be parallel to each other and plumb to give a solid ground for fixing the panels whith Hydropanel adhesive. Additional battens should be used behind wash hand basins, towel rails and other heavy items to give a secure fixing. |

PANEL FITTING :
Fit panels 3mm above bath, shower tray or floor, with bevelled edge downwards. Seal gap with Hydropanel sealant. |
