Handling + Storing of Panels
Handling
• When Polyvision panels are shipped, they are
protected by craft paper or a self-adhesive
transparent polyethylene ilm. Keep panels in the
original package until installation.
• Handle with care to prevent damage.
• Never slide panels o the stack during handling.
Panels should always be lifted and moved in a
vertical position.
• Never place an Polyvision panel in a vertical
position on the loor. This is to prevent damage
to the edges.
• Prevent dirt from settling on and between panels
to avoid surface damage, scratches or defects.
• Follow all safety instructions regarding personal
protection when processing the panels.
• Protect panel surface against sawdust and
sparks (metal particles).
• Polyvision panels will chip when cut or drilled
with power tools. Hand-cutting can cause
chipping up to approx. 2 mm from the edge.
When chipping is in excess of 2 mm, please
check the state of cutting tools and check that
the panel is adequately supported and clamped
to prevent it from vibrating.
• All cut or drilled sections should be protected
against humidity with PVC tape and/or by
covering/sealing proiles or sealing washers.
• For detailed processing instructions, please refer
to the panel processing instructions.
Storing
• Keep panels dry and free of debris.
• Store panels inside temps 5090 °F (1032 °C).
• Any panels stored outside should be protected
from inclement weather conditions.
• Place panels on hard, lat surfaces that are not
subject to standing water.
• Polyvision panels should be stacked no more
than three high.
• Panels should never be stored vertically or in
such a way that the corners are vulnerable to
damage.
If you have a problem, question, or a request, call
your local fabricator, your regional sales manager
or Polyvision Customer Service. Polyvision’s global
customer service team can be contacted on
