Installation Guide

CONDITIONING PANELS
Condition panels by placing them in the room to be paneled 48 hours prior
to installation.
Stack the panels on the floor or lean them against a wall, with spacers between
each sheet. This allows the room air to circulate around each panel for proper
acclimation.
NOTES
Be sure to read and follow the instructions.
Eucaboard / Eucaplac/ Eucatile paneling is intended for dry interior use only
and requires care in handling.
Eucatex paneling should not be used in environments where an accumulation
of water, grease, smoke, or other surface contaminants will require frequent
cleaning to remove accumulations.
Panels cannot be installed direct-to-studs in mobile homes. Panels cannot
be used as ceilings. Panels cannot be nailed against the backing.
When using cleaning materials, experiment with scrap paneling or spot clean
in an inconspicuous area. Eucatex is not responsible for any damage caused by
non-recommended cleaning methods.
Always check your building code. Panels are Class III fire rated and most panels
are only allowed to be installed over a solid wall under most building codes.
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) containing potential physical and health
hazard information is available by contacting: Product Safety –
[e-mail]
Care should be taken in installing panels to allow for space between panels
and heat producing appliances and ignition sources. Consult your local building
code authority for guidelines and requirements.
Improper use and/or installation will void the warranty of the products.
WALL PREPARATION
Installing paneling over existing true
walls requires no preliminary
preparation. Sanding high spots on
the wall is generally about all you
have to do.
Panels of thickness of 1/8” must
be applied to solid walls only,
and above the grade.
Panels of thickness 3/16” or higher
may be installed directly to stud
frame, above or below grade.
To install Panels directly to the stud,
it is necessary to have a solid
insulated exterior wall and 4-mil
or greater polyethylene vapor
barrier behind the studs.
