Handling + Storing of Panels
Handling
• When a3 CeramicSteel panels are shipped, they
are protected by craft paper or a self-adhesive
transparent polyethylene ilm. Keep panels in the
original package until installation.
• Handle with care to prevent damage.
• Never slide panels o the stack during handling.
Panels should always be lifted and moved in a
vertical position.
• Never place an a3 panel in a vertical position on
the loor. This is to prevent damage to the edges.
• Prevent dirt from settling on and between panels
to avoid surface damage, scratches or defects.
• Follow all safety instructions regarding personal
protection when processing the panels.
• Protect panel surface against sawdust and
sparks (metal particles).
• a3 CeramicSteel will chip when cut or drilled with
power tools. Hand-cutting can cause chipping
up to approx. 2 mm from the edge. When
chipping is in excess of 2 mm, please check the
state of cutting tools and check that the panel is
adequately supported and clamped to prevent it
from vibrating.
• All cut or drilled sections should be protected
against humidity with PVC tape and/or by
covering/sealing proiles or sealing washers.
• For detailed processing instructions, please refer
to the a3 processing instructions.
Storing
• Keep panels dry and free of debris.
• Store panels inside temps 5090 °F (1032 °C).
• Any panels stored outside should be protected
from inclement weather conditions.
• Place panels on hard, lat surfaces that are not
subject to standing water.
• a3 CeramicSteel panels should be stacked no
more than three high.
• Panels should never be stored vertically or in
such a way that the corners are vulnerable to
damage.
