1.
Measure and cut the strips to length.
Remove frays with sharp blade.
2-4. Notch mitred corner cuts as
shown.
5-7. Lay strips in position to check
joints meet. Meeting notches should
match to form hole through corners.
If outer edge of the strip (a) is
not resting on the ledge, score
and tear off the removable inner
leg as shown.
8. Mark points across the 2 screw
guidelines on strip for drilling
5mm fixing holes. Marks should be
located where a secure grip will
be found for screw threads and/or
wall plugs. Dry fix strips (completely)
to cement walls prior to final fixing.
9. Wipe ledge with Sealux alcohol
wipes or methylated spirits
10. Commence installation with middle
strip if any. Insert middle strip
upside down into mitre box and arrange
to support remainder of strip steady.
Resting nozzle on strip lay an 8mm
diameter line of silicone in strip
400mm long.
11. Level silicone across strip
with spatula. Redistribute or add
silicone as required. Continue in
400mm steps until complete. Ensure
sealant is buttered slightly proud
across strip ends. 12-13.
Using finger as nozzle support
and fingertip against wall as
guide, lay an 8mm line of silicone
on the ledge no more than 25 mm
out from wall. Lay a 5mm line
of silicone (roughly) 15mm over
ledge.
14-15. Rotate strip
into position as shown fusing
the silicone in strip with the
silicone on ledge to form a watertight
seal. Screw strip to wall. Remove
sealant on ledge (if any). Carry
out same procedure for remaining
strips. Butter mitre joints with
silicone to ensure fusion of sealant
across corners. Apply silicone
to fill the notch at corners.
16. Lay masking
tape over outer face of strip
and with bladeresting on corner,
trim off overhang as shown.
17. Commencing with middle panel
(if any), fix side profiles as
per manufacturers instructions.
Lay masking tape over bottom edge
of panel and with blade resting
on corner, trim off overhang as
shown.
18. Commencing with middle strip
(if any), apply a generous bead
of silicone firmly into channel
formed between strip up-stand
and panel support leg (see fig.
4). Silicone should be left proud
so it will bond to bottom edge
of wall panel when lowered onto
strip. Fix panel as per manufacturers
instructions and remove silicone
(if any) squeezed out between
the strip and panel.
19.
Apply silicone firmly into joint
and rub up smooth.
20-21. Remove masking tape and
give silicone a final light rub
up after skinning has occured.
