Begin by marking the panel back for the placement of each hole for each stand-o
ff
required. No hole should be closer than 3” away from the perimeter edges of the panel.
o
Using a tungsten carbide bit of the diameter appropriate to match your
stand-off
(not supplied, so you will need to determine these), use a power drill to create each
hole as you have marked.
o
With all of the holes now drilled, determine the precise placement of where the
panel is to be installed. With one person holding the panel level and plumb, a second
person will mark the substrate for the precise placement of the holes.
o
Secure each st
and-off bas
e to the substrate using an appropriate anchor. (We
recommend that you have arranged a backing support already in the wall or align a
column of anchors to fall on a wall stud instead of hanging the full wei
ght off
just the gyp board wall panel. The installer or speci
fi
er will be making these choices.)
o
Set the panel in place over the
stand-off bas
e
e stan
d-off hea
d cap
trims to secure the panel. Tighten only by hand, do no
ghten.
Mechanical Fasteners
o
You may also secure the Zintra panel to the substrate using the same fastener
placement guide as used for the stand-o
ffs, but use di
rect fastening (screw or nails)
to secure the panel.
o
If using screws, we suggest that you use a pan or truss head and that you pre-drill
your holes (s
carbide drill bit of the appropriate diameter to the
screw you have selected.) Remember to select an anchor which is appropriate to
your substrate. Each standard Zintra panel is approximately 18 lbs.
o
Make sure
ghten all screws to be ght, but to not be overly
compress the Zintra unevenly.)
o
Power nailing can be
ized if you have adjusted the
he gun for the density of
the Zintra.
If you are unsure about the system selected for your project, please stop and verify the details. MDC
may be able to assist you with some methods of common a
hment, but others may be unique to your
project.
