3.2 PREPARATION
A. Where new FRP wall panels are to be installed, remove existing wall panels and/or finishes to base substrate prior
to installation of new. Installation of new wall panels over existing is not acceptable, no exceptions.
B. Prepare substrate for product installation in accordance with manufacturer's published instructions.
3.3 INSTALLATION
A. FRP Panels:
1. Install FRP wall panels in accordance with manufacturer's published instructions.
2. Prefit each wall panel before securing in place. Cut panels with carbide-tipped power saw or swivel-head
shear.
3. Provide manufacturer's recommended spacing between abutting panel ends, edges and trim. Provide mini-
mum 1/8 inch space around pipes, electrical fittings, obstructions and other items penetrating panels. Fill
joints with sealant.
4. Install panels with edges vertical and plumb. Use maximum length pieces to provide minimum number of
end joints.
a. Align panel to panel vertical joints at inside and outside corner conditions.
5. Substrate: Apply adhesive to substrate and to panel backs as recommended by manufacturer with V-notch
spreader. Provide 100 percent coverage of adhesive.
6. Install accessory panel trim pieces concurrently with installation of panels. Miter cut accessory panel trim
