CONSTRUCTION
Handling
The purchaser is responsible for off-loading. 1.5m
and 3.0m radiant panels can usually be lifted by two
persons, but longer panels may require a third
person providing support in the middle. When a
significant quantity is delivered, they may be
palletised and shrink-wrapped, so a fork lift truck or
similar equipment is required. Panels must not
dropped or suffer impact in any circumstances.
Storage
Radiant panels should be stored in clean, dry indoor
conditions; packaging should not be removed until
installation, unless damage is suspected. The
purchaser should examine the panels promptly upon
delivery and any claims for damage will only be
accepted if the delivery note is endorsed with a note
detailing the damage. Each panel may be marked
with a stencil reference if specified on the order.
Preparation
Extensive modification to the building fabric should
not normally be necessary. However, proper
provision for fixings must be arranged. The structure
to which the panels are to be fixed must be fit for
purpose and be capable accepting drop rods or
similar suspension fixings.
