General mounting instructions
After laying out and applying the screed, protect from soiling and mechanical load.
Before applying the screed, carefully seal the wall connections, joints, abutting edges and any damage. When correctly installed, the overlapping Fonterra Base system panels are impermeable, even when floating screed is applied.
Install the system panels and the door elements at right angles to each other and cut exactly.
INFO!
The figures show only one of the two nap geometries as an example. Assembly is identical for the two nap geometries.
Assembly
Laying the door element in the doorway
-
Cut through the door element in the centre using a cutting knife.
-
Install the Fonterra Base system panels up to the edge of the threshold.
-
If necessary, cut a suitable piece of compensating insulation and lay.
-
Cut the door elements to suit the width of the doorway.
-
Place the first part of the blank flush in the doorway on one side.
-
Push together in the overlapping area.
-
Place the second part of the blank flush in the doorway on the other side.
-
Push together in the overlapping area.
-
Install the system panels and the door elements at right angles to one other.
-
Place the foil of the edge insulation strip loosely on the door elements.
-
For flow screed, seal the edge of the overlapping door elements with adhesive tape.
-
To prevent the edge installation strip from floating when the screen is installed, fix the edge installation strip in the nap loosely using a round profile.
-
Optionally, create an expansion joint using an expansion joint profile (model 1275).
Use as twin strips
System panels can be connected without overlapping strips (remnants) using the door element cut as twin strips.
-
Trim the smooth edge area of the door element on both sides (twin strips).
-
Lay the system panels against each other.
-
Carefully push the twin strips centrally onto the abutting edge.
-
The two system panels are firmly connected to one another by the twin strips.
Disposal
Separate the product and packaging materials (e. g. paper, metal, plastic or non-ferrous metals) and dispose of in accordance with valid national legal requirements.
