Handling:

• Always lift panels off each other. Never slide them over one another or scratching may occur.
• To carry panels, stand them on edge and lift with two people (one person at each end) protecting the face from scratching or damage. Always lean panel towards back face to avoid damaging visible front face.
• Rest the panel edge on soft supports.

Storage:

• All panel materials must be stored flat on pallets
• Store materials inside and undercover in dry conditions to protect them from weather and other trades.
• Stack pallets in a way that allows for ventilation. Permanent surface staining in the form of efflorescence may occur if moisture is allowed to penetrate or sit between stored sheets.
• Prevent condensation from forming on outer plastic protection by allowing for ventilation when conditions are warm.
• Do not deliver any panels on site which cannot be installed immediately or unloaded into a suitable well protected storage area.
• Store products clear of the ground and on level supports at a maximum of 2’ centers.
• Individual stacks can be 20” high.
• Do not stack more than five (5) individual stacks on top of one another.
