Glue Fixing

It is important that Glue Fixing is carried out in strict accordance with the glue suppliers instructions by certified installers. Please note that recommendations and fixing procedures differ between suppliers. The following information is given only as a guideline and must not be taken as a complete recommendation.

Please note that not all glue systems are suitable for all panels on all support frame options. Therefore, it is important to choose the correct glue for the application. As there are many suppliers of glue, we would always advise that the installer only works with certified products, which have been tested with Golden Power panels.

The maximum height can be restricted by the conditions of the supplier of the glue or by local regulation legislation.

All suppliers will have their conditions or restrictions for working on site. These may be:

• Recommended range of working temperature – Example: +5° and + 35°C.

This must remain within these values for at least 5-6 hours after application.

• The surfaces to be bonded must be clean, dry, and free from dust and grease.

The use of cleaners will be needed.

• Restrictions on the Relative humidity – Example: not to be higher than 75%

• The substrate temperature must be 3°C higher than the dew point.

Requirements

The deflection of any cladding panel may not exceed 1/100 of the span of the Golden Power panel between supports plus any overhang or cantilever, if there is one.

Cleaning

Any unwanted or excess adhesive left on the profiles must be removed immediately using the suppliers cleaning agent, as it can only be removed mechanically if left until later.

Consult the glue supplier if adhesive or primer is left on the surface of any panel.
