Inax ECOCARAT+ User manual

As fish can live only in water,
we cannot live without air.
Separating the air with walls,
a public place turns into a private space.

As the walls are put together and
become “a box of air”,
a home is born there.
As the place to give you peace of mind.
Put furniture and plants
into “a box of air” and
a living is produced.

GRANAS VAGUE
●
Because VAG1 to VAG3 has a designated destination for right and left, install according to the example layout.
●
VAG1 to VAG3 should be laid out and installed without cutting. The thickness changes depending on the cutting point and the side may become visible.
●
VGA1 and VGA1A has white as its base color to avoid staining after installation as stains may appear conspicuous.
●
Because 303 x 151 mm for narrow edges (right side) is available for filler parts, the vertical installation is recommended.
●
In the case of wall corner mounting, please use 303×151 mm (rib) and for narrow edges (right side).
●
In the case of wall internal mounting, please use 303 x 151 mm (rib). However, it does not become completely flat due to the design.
