SAFETY FIRSTProper protection (i.e. gloves, safety glasses)should be worn at all times to prevent injury fromsharp edges and/or metal shavings.
PROTECT MATERIALWhen installation is not in progress, all paneland accessory units must be kept under protec-tive cover and completely dry.
ENSURE PROPER FITProper fit is very important to the appearance ofthe system. Allowance for expansion is neededand all molding intersections should fit tightly.
LIBERALLY APPLY SEALANTALL joints must be sealed against moistureintrusion or the warranty will VOID. If donecorrectly, excess sealant will squeeze from thepanel joints.
REMOVE PROTECTIVE FILMUpon completion, the protective film (if present)must be removed from the finished surface.Failure to do so promptly may cause difficulty inremoval and possibly leave an adhesive residue.

MATERIAL STORAGE:If the units have been broken, material should berestacked, on a skid. Finished surfaces should be placedface to face and any interleafed foam (if present) must berepositioned.
Failure to properly protect material from moistureintrusion may cause damage to the panel surfaceand/or plywood core. Such damage is NOT coveredunder the standard warranty.
NOTE:
If the material has become damp or wet during transpor-tation, the surface should be wiped dry before stacking toprevent any type of corrosion. Once the stacking iscompleted (or if the original packaging is still intact), theunits must be covered with a waterproof covering.
All units must be kept in a dry, well-ventilated area awayfrom exposure to the elements and/or any other construc-tion installations which may cause damage to theproduct.
PRE-INSTALLATION:STORING THE MATERIAL UNITS
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES 3
drawings should be consulted to determine the correctgrid, where applicable.
If there are no drawings to work from, measure and verifyall field dimensions and develop a pattern to maximizeappearance and minimize fabrication. Consideration foraesthetics should be made in locating odd sized panels.
PRE-INSTALLATION:SCHEDULING & GRID LAYOUT
Once begun, work should not be delayed for longperiods of time at a point which might cause damageto the product if acted upon by adverse conditions.
NOTE:
COORDINATION OF WORK:In accordance with good construction practice, schedulethe work to coordinate with other trades so that installa-tion can proceed without significant interference/delay.
DO NOT use butting panels as a guide for grid layout.Actual panel size will vary slightly from grid size(FIG. C & D) due to the spacing needed for panelexpansion (1/16”) and the molding/receiver width.
For example, a 4’ x 10’ o.c. grid pattern will result inan actual panel size of slightly less than a full 4’ x 10’.

FIGURE F.CALCULATING MATERIAL USAGE:After identifying/determining the grid, begin to verify thatthe correct amount of material has been ordered for yourspecific application. Since material takeoffs and resultingquantities are based upon the grid layout, installing thematerial in another pattern may result in shortages.
Likewise, an approximate cut plan (for both panels andmoldings) should be determined before beginninginstallation to prevent such shortages which may causedelays in completion of the project.
When calculating molding usage, verticals typically passthrough horizontals (FIG. E), except at head and silllocations (see Typical Details). If the project is largeenough to require several lengths of moldings, splicesshould be staggered so that they do not match up withhorizontal/vertical molding intersections (see GeneralWork: Cutting & Fitting Extrusions).
4 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
FIGURE E.ALIGNING & MARKING THE GRID:Using the grid pattern derived, establish a base point inthe lowermost left corner of the elevation (typically).Using a chalk line, level, and a plumb bob, mark thecomplete grid (FIG. F) on the substrate. Doing so willallow for any necessary adjustment to be made prior toinstallation.
Installation may also be started at the center line of theelevation and worked in both directions from that point.
All surfaces of the substrate should be free from anyobstructions and/or projections which might interfere withpanel application. Note areas where shims may berequired to bring the panel system into a plumb, level,and consistent plane.

USES & APPLICATIONS:EnviroGuard™ is intended for use as an interior cladding.It may be used in various types of environments fromrestrooms to food preparation areas. Different composi-tions and three types of molding systems make this lineof panels suitable for varying levels of general washdowntype environments. Contact the manufacturer withspecific requirements.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES 5
GENERAL WORK:LIMITATIONS OF THE PANEL SYSTEM
GENERAL WORK:FABRICATION OF THE PANELS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:When performing fabricating procedures, it is necessaryto observe all general guidelines for safety. Cutting,drilling, or otherwise machining the panels and trimmoldings may produce flying chips, shavings, or dust.
In addition to work gloves and proper clothing, safetygoggles, ear protection, and possibly dust masks maybe needed when fabricating system components.
NOTE:
CUTTING & DRILLING OF PANELS:Cut-to-size panels are available from the manufacturer.When field cutting is required, it may be performed usingstandard carpentry tools equipped with carbide-tippedblades. Work surfaces should be padded (FIG. G) andfree from any debris which may damage the finish. Forcleaner cuts, backer blocks and straightedges
may be clamped to the panel surface. Caul blocks shouldbe used when necessary to protect the finished surface.
When using a table saw to cut panels, the finished sideshould be placed facing upward. For hand held circularsaws and jigsaws, the finished side should be facingdown (FIG. H).
For drilling operations, the finished side should be placedfacing upward and a backer block should be used whennecessary to minimize any tearout.

TABLE SAW - FINISH UP DRILLING - FINISH UP
The appearance, quality and soundness of the panelsystem depends in large part upon the quality and fit ofthe trim moldings.
GENERAL WORK:CUTTING & FITTING MOLDINGS
Whenever cutting, trimming, or installing moldings, itis important to make sure the joints are well fitted andthe intersections formed provide a clean channel intowhich the panel can be placed.
NOTE:
A visual representation of the most common intersectionscan be found in the Typical Details section of the ProductManual. If you have any questions about how yourparticular intersection should be fitted, contact ourtechnical staff for assistance.
SPLICING OF MOLDINGS:Depending on the grid size, several lengths of moldingsmay be required to complete a horizontal and/or verticalrun. Planning should be done to minimize the number ofsplices required.

6 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
FIGURE L.
TWO PIECE - BEFORE AFTER
When necessary, splices must occur no closer than 2”away from a horizontal/vertical intersection (FIG. I).Splices must be completely sealed against moisture.
NOTE:
SELECTING THE RIGHT SEALANT:In order for the proper bond to be created between thesealant and the system components, be sure to use onlythe sealant recommended by the manufacturer.
The use of other sealants may require additional steps(such as priming of materials) or cause the installation tofail due to poor weatherability, staining and/or lack ofadequate bonding.
SEALANT APPLICATION:In general, sealant should be liberally applied whereverwater may be able to infiltrate the system (e.g. joints,molding splices, dissimilar material abutments, etc.).
To aid in applying the proper amount of sealant, the tip ofthe sealant tube should be cut at an angle from bothsides (FIG. J). Doing so will allow the tip to act as aguide (and prevent the sealant from getting spread toothin) when applying the bead.
GENERAL WORK:PROPER SEALANT APPLICATION
Failure to adequately seal ALL panel edges, moldingintersections & splices, cutouts, etc., will cause theinstallation to fail and will VOID THE WARRANTY.
NOTE:
Depending on the type of molding, the amount of materialrequired to adequately seal the panel may vary slightly.However, squeeze out may occur if the correct amount ofsealant has been applied.
For one piece systems, the sealant should fill enough ofthe molding channel (FIG. M) so that squeeze out willoccur when the panel is inserted.

Depending upon the fastening schedule and/or panelsize, an adhesive may be required in the field of thepanel. Either construction adhesive or double-sided tapemay be used to adhere the panel to the substrate/studs.
If using construction adhesive, a bead must be placed ateach intermediate location within the field of the panel(16”-24”o.c.). The approximate size of the bead shouldbe 3/8” (min.) x 2/3 of the panel height.

FACE APPLIED - BEFORE AFTER
The two piece molding system (FIG. L) and the faceapplied molding system (FIG. M) both require a continu-ous bead (a minimum of 1/4” x 1/4”) to be placed alongthe panel edge before snapping the plastic cover intoplace.
Excess sealant may be cleaned up (FIG. N) after it ‘skinsover’ (approx. 45 minutes) using a non-marring scraper, aclean rag, and mineral spirits (if necessary).
For applications using double-sided tape, a strip approxi-mately 1/4 of the panel height should be placed in thecenter of the panel at the intermediate studs.
When a moisture barrier is present, a strip of aluminum(approx. 2”-3” wide x 2/3 panel height) must be mechani-cally fastened to the substrate (FIG. O). The adhesive isthen applied to the aluminum.
GENERAL WORK:FASTENING THE PANELS & MOLDINGS
For the one piece molding system, fasteners are placed12-16” around the panel perimeter and 1/4” away fromthe molding edge (FIG. P). Use of the one piece moldingsystem also requires mechanical fastening of the extru-sions every 12” along the molding length.
The two piece molding system is applied using smallflathead screws that hold the receiver in place until thepanel is fastened. Panel fasteners are placed 12”-16”around the perimeter 3/16” from the panel edge (FIG. P).The plastic cover is then ‘snapped’ into place to concealthe fasteners.

MAINTENANCE OF THEPANEL FINISH
MAINTENANCE:Panels should be incorporated into an overall buildingwashing/maintenance schedule. In general, panels maybe cleaned using warm water and a mild detergrent (ifnecessary). For more aggressive materials, a gentlebrushing/scrubbing action may be required. Abrasivedetergents and/or harsh solvents should not be used.

FIGURE 1. STEP 1: ATTACHING THE BOTTOMHORIZONTAL & THE LEFT VERTICAL MOLDINGS
Since the installation is progressive, the panel is encap-sulated on all four sides by the one piece moldings.Therefore, the first step in the work sequence is creatingan ‘L’ shaped pocket into which the panel will be placed.
In order to move the installation up, and then across theelevation, the first two moldings to be attached are thebottom horizontal and the left vertical (FIG. 1).
Miter or notch the moldings as needed and then fastenthem to the substrate. Keep in mind that verticals ‘passthrough’ horizontals except at head and sill locations.
The required molding length will vary dependent uponcondition and grid layout.
WORK SEQUENCE:ONE PIECE PLASTIC (PVC) MOLDINGS
These guidelines are set forth to show the intent and general sequence of installation. The procedure for eachindividual application and condition may vary. For special conditions or for those not discussed (parapet,dissimilar material, etc.), refer to the General Work Guidelines, Typical Details or contact the manufacturer.

STEP 2: PREPARING THE PANEL & APPLYINGTHE SEALANT
Begin by cutting the panel to the proper dimension withallowance made for expansion/contraction. Peel theprotective film (if present) away from all four edges of thepanel. Do not remove it completely.
Place a large, continuous bead of approved sealant intoboth the bottom horizontal and left vertical moldings(FIG. 2). If the moldings extend past the first panellength/width, apply only enough sealant for one panel.

Failure to adequately seal ALL panel edges will causethe installation to fail and will VOID THE WARRANTY.
NOTE:
STEP 4: INSERTING THE PANEL INTO THEMOLDING CHANNELS
Insert the panel into the moldings (a non-marring scrapermay assist in guiding the panel into the channel). If thecorrect amount of sealant is applied, it should squeeze(FIG. 4) from the molding in a continual bead around thepanel perimeter. The excess will be removed in a laterstep.
Do not fasten the panel at this point.
STEP 3: APPLYING THE PANEL ADHESIVE(NOT REQUIRED IF FIELD FASTENING)
Place a large bead (or strip if using double-sided tape)of panel adhesive onto the substrate at each intermediatelocation (FIG. 3).

FIGURE 5. STEP 5: ATTACHING THE TOPHORIZONTAL MOLDING
Since verticals typically dominate, the top horizontalmolding should be notched/mitered to ‘dive into’ the leftvertical molding. Likewise the other end of the moldingshould be notched/mitered after being cut to length toreceive the right vertical molding to be attached next.
After the molding has been prepared, apply the properamount of sealant into the channel (only the side facingthe panel) and place it over the edge (FIG. 5). As in theprevious step, sealant squeeze out should occur.
Fasten the top molding to the substrate.
STEP 6: ATTACHING THE RIGHTVERTICAL MOLDING
After preparing (cutting, applying sealant), the rightvertical should be fastened to the substrate (FIG. 6).
The final molding in the sequence (the right vertical)should never extend past the top horizontal (FIG. 6).Doing so will create a ‘U’ shaped channel and preventthe next panel in the vertical sequence from beinginstalled properly.
NOTE:
STEP 7: FASTENING THE PANELTO THE SUBSTRATE
After all four moldings are applied, the panel can bemechanically fastened to the substrate (FIG. 7).

STEP 8: CLEANING UP THE EXCESS SEALANTAND REMOVING THE PROTECTIVE FILM
Once the fastening is complete, the excess sealant canbe cleaned from the panel surface using a non-marringscraper, clean rag, and mineral spirits (if necessary).
The scraper should be held at a low angle (FIG. 8) andrun along the perimeter of the panel using the molding asa guide.
Once completed, remove the protective film (if present)by pulling it back against itself along the panel.
STEP 9: MOVING UP AND ACROSSTHE ELEVATION
Once the first panel is installed, repeat the work se-quence and move vertically in the grid. Upon completionof the first column, move again to the bottom of theelevation and begin at the next column.
Each individual application may vary depending uponlayout. However, moving vertically across the elevationrequires the least amount of setup and may prove themost efficient use of scaffolding and/or power lifts.

FIGURE 1. STEP 1: PREPARING THE PANEL & APPLYINGTHE ADHESIVE
Begin by cutting the panel to the proper dimension withallowance made for expansion/contraction.
Place a large bead (or strip if using double-sided tape) ofpanel adhesive onto the substrate at each intermediatelocation (FIG. 1).
WORK SEQUENCE:FACE APPLIED PLASTIC (PVC) MOLDINGS
These guidelines are set forth to show the intent and general sequence of installation. The procedure for eachindividual application and condition may vary. For special conditions or for those not discussed, refer to theGeneral Work Guidelines, Typical Details or contact the manufacturer.
ADHESIVE OR DOUBLE-SIDED TAPE
- Nailable Substrate- Non-Nailable Substrate (fastened directly to studs)- Substrate (either type) with Moisture Barrier (special instructions apply)- Furring Strips on Masonry (16”-24” o.c.)
Possible Substrates:
- Panel Fastening: 12”-16” around panel perimeter—located 3/16” away from edge, driven snug with surface, (no fasteners within 1” of corner) 24”o.c. at the intermediate supports- Molding Fastening: Held in place with sealant and/or small brads
- Nailable Substrate: #S-1001 (1-5/8”)- Non-Nailable Substrate: #S-1000 (1”) or #S-1580 (1-5/8”)- Field Fastening: #R150P (1-1/2”) or #R162 (1-5/8”)
Types Of Fasteners:
Fastening Schedules:
- Non-Structural
System Type:
- Non-Progressive, moving up and across the elevation beginning at a bottom corner (typical).
Work Flow:
- #5000 (Franklin Titebond™) A bead approx. 2/3 the panel height is placed at intermediate (16”-24”o.c.) locations.- #5003-D (Double Sided Tape) A strip approx. 1/4 the panel height is placed at intermediate (16”-24”o.c.) locations.
Adhesive (optional, replaces field fasteners):
- #5005-02 (GE SCS 1700™) The entire system must be properly sealed against moisture intrusion for the warranty to remain valid.
Sealant:
- 1/8”-3/16” (nominal) between abutting panelsExpansion/Contraction Spacing:
INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS:
The adhesive bead should not be allowed to set upbefore the panel is applied.

STEP 2: ATTACHING THE PANEL TOTHE SUBSTRATE
Place the panel onto the substrate leaving theappropriate gap at the joint. A shim may be helpful inmaintaining the proper dimension.
Fasten the panel to the substrate around the perimeterfirst (FIG. 2) and then in the field of the panel (if noadhesive is being used).
Because the cover molding covers the edges of twopanels (with the exception of the perimeter molding), it isnecessary to install one or more adjoining panels beforecontinuing.

FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 3. STEP 3: APPLYING THE MOLDING
Begin by cutting the molding to the proper length, makingany necessary miters/notches.
Next, peel the protective film (if present) away from allfour edges of the panel. Do not remove it completely.Place a large bead of sealant around the perimeter ofthose panels (FIG. 3) where the cover(s) are to beinstalled.
Firmly press the molding into the sealant along the joint,making sure the bond is continous. If using a drive-intype cover, ‘tap’ the molding into place using a rubbermallet moving along its length.
If the proper amount of sealant was applied, a continuousbead will squeeze from the cover molding.
STEP 4: CLEANING UP THE EXCESS SEALANTAND COMPLETING THE RUN
Once the cover is in place, the excess sealant can becleaned from the panel surface using a non-marringscraper, clean rag, and mineral spirits (if necessary).
The scraper should be held at a low angle and run alongthe perimeter of the panel (FIG. 4) using the molding asa guide.
Once the excess is removed, complete the run byrepeating the work sequence and move vertically in thegrid. Upon completion of the first column, move again tothe bottom of the elevation and begin at the next column.
