4 Adhesive Fasteners, Sealants and Cleaners Bifrost panels should be installed with a quality trowel grade non-flammable or latex based panel or construction adhesive. NOTE: The water-borne family of adhesives, including latex and non-flammable based formulas, will not bond two impervious surfaces to each other. Because Bifrost panels are impervious to moisture, the wall being covered must be porous enough to allow for adhesive drying. Wall finishes that are moisture proof must be removed or otherwise prepared to insure that there is adequate adhesive curing. Always follow adhesive manufacturer s directions completely. Recommended Tools for installation Ensure all tools are used safely and correctly and appropriate safety wear such as gloves, eye and ear protection are used. WALL PREPARATION If the existing wall finish is wall paper, heavy gauge sheet, linoleum or slimilar material, it should be inspected for loose areas. If loose areas of existing substrates are discovered, they should be removed. All new or existing wall substrates should be examined. They must be clean, smooth, dry and free of oils,loose paint and /or joint compound dust prior to installation Panel Size Measurement The wall panels should be cut using either a table saw or circular saw with a carbide tooth blade.always use a straight edge or guide to insure straight cuts when using a circular saw. A jigsaw should be used when making cutouts such as electrical outlets, fire extinguisher cabinets,etc.always cut so that the blade ratates into the finished side of the panel or backside up. Measurements shoud be taken from doorrame to doorframe, doorframe to inside corner, inside corner to inside corner,etc. Refer to the back page for deduction allowances Always use cut edges at the beginning or the end of a run. Never use cut edges at a joint between panels (unless square edge panels have been specified.) It is recommended that multi-panel runs have equal end pieces. Verify panel locations on the project drawings if available 3
