Storage & Handling

To avoid damage and deterioration prior to installation, always follow these guidelines:

• store all panel materials horizontally and level on bearers equally spaced and of uniform height.
• ensure that materials are kept in dry, clean storage facilities, avoiding extremes of humidity and temperature.
• when using handling equipment such as fork lift trucks always observe weight restrictions.

When preparing for installation, we recommend:

• the installation area is clean and tidy.
• plumbing and electrical work is completed.
• all components are fully checked for suitability and to ensure that they are free from damage.

During installation, always follow the general guidelines:

• the workspace is kept tidy to prevent accident and injury.
• gloves are worn when handling sharp objects.
• care should be taken when lifting larger panels as these will be heavy.
• ensure adequate ventilation when cutting materials, or using glues and solvent based materials.
• any MFC components which require cutting down on site should be sealed or re-lipped to ensure no future moisture penetration.

Once installed, care and maintenance will be required:

• never use harsh bleaches for cleaning.
• door and panel surfaces can be cleaned with warm, soapy water using a soft cloth or sponge.
• do not use excess water for cleaning, nor submerge components in water.
• lubricate the bolts and hinges with a light grease.
• all aluminium cubicle fittings should be washed down fortnightly with a mild detergent and warm water (do not use abrasive materials). Rinse fittings thoroughly afterwards ensuring that surfaces are free and clean from detergent.
