Instructions / Assembly

Fasteners
Glasliner panels should be installed with non-corroding fasteners. Plastic pin rivets, chrome pin rivets, one piece nylon rivets,
stainless nails or screws are recommended. See below. Fasteners should be installed to fit snug but should not be overtightened.
Always select proper size fasteners for installation.
Plastic pin rivet fastens panels to wood, metal, drywall, concrete, insulation material, etc. See diagrams below.
Easy to use. Drill a hole.
(.275”-F Bit).
Remove dust and filings from
the hole. Insert rivet.
Hit the pin. The shank expands
into or behind material for a
tight, secure grip.
Rivet expands behind
metal angles, posts,
sheets or metal studs
Rivet expands
into solid furring
strips, studs,
substrates or brick,
block concrete and
drywall.
NOTE: If pin in rivet does not drive flush when fastening into solid materials and applications where expansion may be restrict-
ed, use .261”-G bit.
Chrome pin rivet has high shear strength but should be used in low moisture area. Installation is the same as plas-
tic pin rivet above.
One piece nylon rivet fastens panel to any wood substrate or wood stud. See diagrams below.
Easy to use. Drill a hole.
(.281”-K Bit).
Remove dust and filings from
the hole. Insert rivet.
Drive rivet flush.
Stainless nails or screws can be used to install panels.
Adhesives
The use of general purpose construction adhesive when installing panels is recommended, along with fasteners. Whenever adhe-
sive is used, follow manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Many adhesives are flammable and some may not be compatible with
paneling.
Glasliner Panels may be successfully installed over plaster board (drywall or gypsum) using only adhesive. However, it is rec-
ommended to use fasteners along with adhesive for best results. Adhesive failure is not panel failure.
Adhesive should be applied to wall surface following adhesive manufacturer’s recommendations. Typical applications are shown
below.
After applying adhesive, tap surfaces of panel with a rubber mallet or block of wood to aid bonding of adhesive to wall and panel.

Fastening/Fastener Layout
• First panel installed should be set true with a plumb line.
• Check plumb line during installation.
• Do not fasten edges of panels until moldings are in place.
(Except when using face mounted moldings).
• Glasliner panel / fastener layout / solid wall:
1. Fasten panel at center and work outward.
2. Fasteners based upon 16” on center.
3. Fasteners should be staggered on opposite panel edges
and next to division bar for flat seam. See diagram at right.
4. Liner panels should be pre-drilled for fastener installation
using a guide panel.

Molding Installations
The diagram below shows the various moldings that can be used
with the Glasliner Panels.
A. Vinyl or aluminum moldings can be used in the above diagram.
B. Vinyl moldings should not be used for exterior applications.
C. Vinyl moldings are USDA accepted. Aluminum moldings should not be used where USDA acceptance is required.
D. Cut moldings as needed for proper fit. The divider, ISC & OSC moldings may need to be cut to accommodate
ceiling and base moldings.
E. Place moldings on panels before fastening edges, if required.
F. Always use moldings in high moisture areas.
