DESCRIPTION

Echohush® Prole foam panels are supplied in standard sheet sizes of

0.60 m X 0.60 m.

Prole panels are very easy to x on walls and ceilings. They can be bonded to

wall and ceiling surfaces using our high quality adhesive ‘Fixseal MSP15’in any

one of the following ways.

1. Directly gluing product panels to wall or ceiling surfaces or

2. Using a backing board to hold panels on walls.

The rst method oers a more permanent solution as the foam panels are in

direct contact with the walls using the adhesive. Whereas, using a backing

board provides a solution that prevents the adhesive being transferred on to

walls, thereby oering exibility to remove and reposition the product.

Pyrotek can provide on request, backing boards made from specialised

plastic, designed to receive adhesives, that standard PE or PU plastics may

not. The boards supplied measure:

590 mm (length) x 590 mm (width) x 1.0 mm (thick).

ABOUT OUR RECOMMENDED ADHESIVE

‘Fixseal MSP15’- The adhesive is available in a cartridge or sausage, with

a special plastic nozzle to provide the required bead size. To install Prole

panels, cut the nozzle to create a 3 - 4 mm bead.

The adhesive cures using moisture present in the air and should be applied in

temperatures +5°C to +35°C.

See Technical Data Sheet ‘Fixseal MSP15-TDS-526IP’ for more details on

material properties and curing times. Alternative adhesives closely matching

the recommended adhesive can also be used to bond Prole panels.

Echohush® Prole is available in a variety

of colours. Please consult your Pyrotek®

representative for colour choice.

INSTALLATION GUIDE 228IG

TIPS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

1. Wall surfaces should be clean, smooth and dry.

2. Walls that are not plumb may cause misalignment.

3. If adhering to metal surfaces, use a degreaser before mounting panels.

4. Avoid mounting directly on top of electrical outlets or wires or contact with any sharp objects and edges. If needed, cut out

adequate access holes around any outlets. Consider using electric knives for a professional cut.

5. Keep away from ame and heat sources.

6. Keep uncoated panels out of direct sunlight or UV light to avoid fading.

7. If using backing board, remove the plastic lm covering one side of the board and use this side to bond the product with adhesive.

Note: Use our instructions as a general guideline. The responsibility to assess and compensate for application environment lies with the installer.

STEP 1

Fix the backing board to the wall using 10 mm thumb

tacks. Place one thumb tack each in the four corners

and one in the centre.

STEP 2

Apply adhesive as shown in Fig BB2 avoiding contact

with the thumb tacks.

STEP 3

Firmly push the panel onto the backing board, making

sure that even pressure is applied to all areas that the

adhesive has been applied to.

Fig.BB1 Fig.BB2 Fig.BB3

STEP 4

Hold in place for about one minute or as required.

Once adhesive has cured and the foam rmly bonded

to the board, the product can be easily be removed and

repositioned by merely pulling o the backing board

adhered to the wall using thumb tacks.

For ceiling installation, x four extra thumb tacks than

that recommended for walls, like a ’Die’pattern (No.9).

Follow Steps 1 through to 4. Hold panels in position for

about a minute or as required.

Fig.BB4

Using a backing board to mount the product, oers the exibility to remove and reposition or even remount product to any other wall or ceiling. As the backing board is

adhered using thumb tacks, removing panels leaves only pin marks on the wall, without ruining the either the foam or the surface mounted on.

Installing directly to wall or ceiling surfaces - Echohush Prole panels can also be easily adhered to walls directly without using any backing material. Apply adhesive on
