Installation
Not a structural material and must be joined to a suitable substrate. Fasten mechanically or adhere with adhesives. Utilizing a balancing sheet opposite of the material may be required. Carbide-tipped saw and router blades should be used for cutting
Recommended Adhesive
Recommended adhesives are permanent types, such as urea and polyvinyl acetate (PVA), and contact types. Wilsonart adhesives are recommended for most bonding conditions.
Suitable Substrates
Suitable substrates may include but are not limited to particleboard, medium density fiberboard or plywood with one A-face. High-pressure laminate, plaster, concreteand gypsum board should not be considered suitable substrates. Basic Types laminate may not be used as structural members.
