Product Criteria
Design requirements
Suitable for interior use only and are not recommended in exposed, damp or wet conditions. Panels may warp or expand if not sealed.
Installation requirements
Panels must be installed by qualified tradesmen and handled with care. Prior to installation, the product must be stored inside, off the ground, in a dry, well-ventilated area away from extreme temperature fluctuations. It is important to protect the panels during storage by covering and protecting all parts that can be exposed to damage, light or moisture however, panels must not be left wrapped in a non-breathable material (i.e.plastic) for longer than 4 days. The panels must be stacked squarely on top of one another with a full cover sheet on top to avoid edge discolouration. Panels should not be exposed to natural light when being stored as wood is a natural material and changes over time when exposed to UV-light.
Maintenance requirements
We recommend cleaning the panels when required with a warm damp cloth. Do not use any solvents or abrasive cleaners. Clean off any dust that accumulates immediately.
