STEP 1
Wall surface is to be clean and free of any surface obstructions.
Measure the Z-Clip locations on the panels. A 1 inch clearance
between the panel top and any horizontal intersecting surfaces
to provide for the sliding engagement of this type of installation
must be provided. Transfer mounting dimensions to the wall
mounting surface. Mark the locations for wall bar installation.
Install the wall bars using appropriate mechanical fastners.
Wall bars may be field cut to desired lengths.
STEP
2
Install
leveling angles {supplied w/panels} using appropiate mechanical
fastners.
***DO NOT INSTALL PANELS WITHOUT LEVELING ANGLES***
The leveling angles are the primary panel support.
If panel
installation is from "floor-up" leveling angles
are not required.
STEP
3
Prepare panel for installation. Mark back of panel for
field cutting (if required). Carefully cut fiberglass from
back of panel.. Then cut cornering surface leaving enough
covering to allow forwrapping of the field cut area. Carefully
apply adhesive to the cut-out fiberglass edges and panel back
than fold the excess covering around the cut-out area edges
and wrap to the back of the panel.
STEP
4
Lift panel to a position that will allow panel Z-Clip to slide
into the wall mounted wall bar. There is some lateral movement
available if necessary. Carefully slide the panel into position
allowing the bottom to rest on the leveling angle. Shim as
necessary to provide flush alignment of panel joints. (This
is to account for wall irregularities.)
NOTES
Do not
subject the factory installed Z-Clip to any peel type stress
as this will break the fastener-to-panel joint. The Z-Clip
is intended to hold the panel to the wall only.
Completely
remove the panel to install any shimming devices. Lifting
one corner of the panel will cause damage to the fastener-to-
panel joints.
The use of the Z-Clip fastening system will create a gap of
approximately 3/16 inches between the panel back and the mounting
surface face. This is important for field measurements and
edge treatment in a reveal type installation.
