Removal of Protective Film
Once the panels have been installed
onto the wall and all gaps are checked
for spacing, the protective film can be
removed. Take care to remove the
protective film gently – DO NOT rip it
from the panel with excessive force or it
may move the sheet. Peel with a constant
force and from one corner to the
diagonal opposite. Figure 14 illustrates this.
Sealing with Silicone
Apply the silicone into the gap between each panel, and
between panels and overhead cabinets/benchtops; ensuring
that sufficient silicone is used to completely fill the gap, with
a small amount of excess silicone squeezing out of the join.
Clean-up
Use water with a small amount of detergent and a soft
micro-fibre cloth to clean up any excess silicone from the
decorated surface
before
it cures.
Care
Laminex Metaline Splashbacks require very little maintenance if installed according to the instructions above and
cleaned according to the following guidelines:
• DO use a soft micro-fibre cloth with a mild detergent
• DO clean the surface regularly
• DO NOT allow food stuffs to build up on the surface
• DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or pot scrubbing pads
• DO NOT use cleaning solutions that are highly acidic or caustic
• DO NOT clean the surface if it is hot
• DO NOT place metallic or sharp implements against the surface, which may cause scratching
