Tee Joint Panel System

This is the most economical panel utilising white Upvc fixing sections. The panels have cut edges on all four sides. The Upvc sections serve two functions. One is to decoratively mask the edges and the other is as structural fixing sections. This system is the most flexible as panels can be cut on site to suit wall dimensions.

Tee Joint Panel System

Butt Joint Panel System

This eliminates the requirement of a tee joint section as this panel has reinforced long edges and the fabric facing is wrapped around the two long edges of the panel. This results in a neat, crisp butt joint between the panels.

InstallationInstallation to Walls
Panels are contact spray adhesive fixed to backing surface using Gluesorba™ spray can adhesive. This is a simple and strong adhesive system for bonding WALLSORBA panels direct to walls and ceilings.

This method allows panels to be applied direct to concrete, brickwork, wood, plaster or metal. There is an immediate bond, therefore no mechanical support is required or the need for drilling. A site installation guide is sent with each delivery.

Installation to Ceilings
Small WALLSORBA Type C panels may be glued using the Gluesorba™ contact spray adhesive onto concrete or plasterboard soffits. Maximum panel size must not exceed 1200 x 900mm for this method of installation on ceilings.

Alternatively special 'z' clips are available for mechanically fixing larger panels to soffits. Please request an installation guide for this method.

 

Please refer to and work from the installation details given in the product brochure.
