Molding Installations

The diagram shows the various moldings that can be used when installing Fiber-Lite panels.

A. Vinyl or aluminum moldings can be used.
B. Vinyl moldings are USDA accepted, aluminum moldings should not be used where USDA acceptance is required.
C. Cut moldings as needed for proper fit. The divider, ISC & OSC moldings may need to be cut to accommodate for ceiling and base moldings.
D. Place molding on panel before fastening edges, if required.
E. Always use moldings in high moisture areas.
F. Surface mounted moldings may be applied with 3M tape no. 2930VHB, a compatible adhesive, or fasteners if required.
G. Moldings are available for thickness of panel selected.
H. Surface mounted moldings are designed to cover fasteners.
I. See page 7 of INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS & GUIDELINES For: Fiber-Lite®, White-Wood®, Ground Breaker®, Nu-Poly®, Nu-Alum®, Kydex® Prelaminated Panels and Fiber-Lite® Liner Panels for top view of molding application.
J. The symbol * designates surface mounted moldings.
K. Predrill moldings (if required) for fastening, (i.e. batten strip, two piece division bar, etc.)
L. Aluminum moldings can be used for interior or exterior use.
M. Vinyl moldings can be used for interior use. Exterior available.


Installation Reminders

1. Follow safety and fire guidelines during installation and use of panels. Compliance with local building codes is recommended.
2. First panel installed should be set true with plumb line. Check plumb line during installation.
3. Pre-condition panels prior to installation and allow for expansion and contraction during installation.
4. Use moldings, silicone, fasteners, and adhesive with panels for best installation.
5. Remove excess silicone during installation or trim after silicone has cured.
6. Place molding on panel, if required, before fastening panel. (i.e., CAP, ISC, OSC, etc.).
7. Cut moldings as needed. For example, division bar may need to be cut to accommodate a ceiling or base cove.
8. Cut panels, if required, for proper installation.
9. Use hold-down-clips if panels are used in a suspended ceiling.
10. Span studs or joists only with proper thickness of panel.
11. Clean panels, if required, after installation.
