Scope of use
Limitations on use of building product
- 3D Tiles has not been tested as part of a fire rated separation assembly, and therefore does not contribute to and do not affect the fire resistance of fire separations.
- 3D Tiles does not improve the fire performance of timber linings such as plywood and particle board with material Group Numbers worse than 1-S.
- Exposure to humidity levels of above 65% may affect durability of the product.
- Air passing through the product due to high pressure or temperature difference can cause the appearance of soil filtration lines on the product surface. This is not a product fault and can be avoided by minimising high temperature or pressure difference across the product and by keeping the room well-ventilated and free from pollutants.
