5.7.3 Fitting
Install the panel against the wall, pressing firmly and evenly against the silicone
bead until resistance from the double-sided tape is experienced. Note: Where a
folded panel method is used, both adjacent walls must be considered at the same
time to ensure the panel is tightly fitted into the corner – so start at the corner.
Ensure the whole panel is pressed evenly and check vertical trueness with a spirit
level.
Ensure gaps between the panel and overhead cabinets or benchtops are
even. Allowance of 3mm is required at each edge for silicone sealing.

Figure 12 illustrates the
installation process for a
folded panel.
Butt joining of panels together requires a 3mm gap between panels for silicone
sealing. Each panel is installed and pressed separately, starting at one edge and
working to the other. Corners require a 3mm gap to be left for silicone sealing.
Figure 13 illustrates the
installation process for a
butt joined panel.
For straight panel joins, simply allow 3mm gap between sheets to allow for silicone
sealing.
