Additional Information
Cleaning
Non abrasive cleaning solutions are suitable for cleaning this material.
Installation
It is essential to maintain consistency of appearance when fitting flat PVC sheet. This is best achieved when:
- Ideally, on any project only sheets from the same production batch are used.
- Otherwise never mix sheets from different batches on the same wall.
- Use sheets in the same orientation throughout. As a guide the text on branded protective film should always be the same way up. Where the protective film is unprinted, the same end of every sheet on a pallet or bundle should be fitted at floor level.
Chemical Resistance
This material has excellent resistance to most chemicals including dilute acids and alkalis, alcohols, glycols, atmospheric pollutants and most cleaning solutions. Contact with solvents and wet wood preservatives should be avoided. It does not corrode or rot and is not attacked by pests.
Service Temperature
The service temperature range of flat PVC sheet is -20˚C to +60˚C. Greater care should be taken when working with PVC sheet at lower temperatures: PVC is less resistant to impact damage at lower temperatures. It should not be installed near heat sources such as cookers and heating boilers as these could cause distortion and damage.
