Installation
Making good the wall
Preparing the wall panel
The wall may be a new build or you could
have opened a cavity in an existing wall
to install the ALF100SM. In either case
it is now necessary to build/re-build the
wall to complete the installation.
• Cut sections of wall board to
complete the wall around the
ALF100SM leaving a maximum gap to
the cabinet of 2mm (
3
/
32
”) around the
perimeter.
Making good the wall
Filling the perimeter
• Once the ALF100SM is fixed into
place, the gap must be filled
with plaster to bond the edge of
the cabinet to the edge of the
plasterboard.
Use a low shrinkage, strong repair
plaster such as British Gypsum Gyproc-
Joint-Filler*. In North America, Synco,
Durabond or other similar fast setting
joint compound with a working time of
20 to 40 minutes can be used.
<2mm
<2mm
Ensure there is a gap of at least
2mm (
3
/
32
”) around the perimeter of
the cabinet allowing plaster to be
pushed into place.
*NOTE: Gyproc Easi-Fill dries to a much
softer state and should not be used.
