How do you silicone a wall panel?

Altro Walls recommends using masking tape on the front face of the panels to prevent overspill. The edges of the panels must be cleaned and primed with Altro ALU Cleaner (A810) prior to siliconing. Ensure sufficient silicone is pumped into the joint so that it forms up against the double side tapes on the reverse of the panel.

Altro Walls recommends the PVCu wall cladding panels are installed at approximately the same ambient ‘service temperature’ at which the area will be used when commissioned. A minimum ambient temperature of 14oC/57oF is recommended for all installation areas. AltroFix adhesive must never be used below +5oC.
