wall protection
• Once the lengths of the aluminium and PVC profiles have been calculated, cut the profiles to
length using a mitre saw and a suitable blade (preferably a fine-toothed blade in order to avoid
splinters). Recommended blades feature alternating flat teeth and trapezoidal teeth. Refer to
"Tools Required".
• Handrail brackets can only be fixed to DECOCHOC panels where temperature conditions are perfectly stable (otherwise the brackets could
prevent the panels from expanding, causing them to come away from the wall).

ACCESSORIES
3.3 FIXING HANDRAILS ON DECOCHOC PANELS
• For a better finish, saw the aluminium and PVC profiles to length while they are snap-fixed
together and held from one side. Preferably cut while pushing the sliding saw.
• Made-to-measure angle pieces can be cut with a mitre saw. Mount the angle piece onto a section
of profile to hold it steady while cutting and thereby maximise safety.
• Make sure that you position the angle piece correctly to cut it "on the radius". A slightly oblique
cut will cause mounting problems by altering the dimensions of the contact surfaces.
