1. Scope

(1) This standard applies to the installation work involving LG Hausys Marmo product, which is used as interior finishing materials. The company shall not be liable for any problem that may occur due to the characteristics of the marble pattern of the Marmo materials installed based on standards other than this one.

(2) The fabricator/installer shall submit this standard and samples to the customer in advance for discussions with the person in charge and shall seek approval after discussing the characteristics of the marble pattern of the Marmo materials.

2. Features of Marmo Product

HI-MACS® is an acrylic solid surface whose main composition is PMMA (Poly Methyl Methacrylate), MMA (Methyl Methacrylate), and AL (OH). The HI-MACS®Marmo collection uses same raw materials as the main material, same as HI-MACS®, a product having materialized patterns and designs that are almost the same as those of natural stone and displaying unspecified continuous colors.

3. Fabrication Guide for the Marmo Collection

Apron fabrication standard

Main upper sheet

Apron 36mm

* Join the 12mm+12mm thick sheet to the main upper sheet (12mm) as shown in the figure.

(2) Using an end mill, make 6mm grooves on the thick surface of the main upper sheet or the Apron; join the Apron using the grooves according to the specifications of the drawings.

*Make grooves on the boards as shown in the figure; make the Apron through 3mm chamfering or 5R Router finishing.

3.3 Apron fabrication standard(1) Due to the characteristics of pattern materialization on HI-MACS® Marmo

product, the Apron must be fabricated using the standard method designated inthis standard. The company shall not be liable for any difference in patterns of theApron if it is made using the general method rather than based on this standard.

Back splash fabrication standard 1

45˚V-Cut

* Make a back splash through V-cutting as shown in the figure.

(2) Make grooves on the back splash according to the specifications of the drawings using the same method as that for the grooving of the Apron.

3.4 Back splash fabrication standard(1) Make a back splash made of the Marmo materials in the same manner as that for

the Apron using the V-grooving machine or 6mm grooving method.

Back splash fabrication standard 2

* Make a back splash through 12mm or 6mm grooving work as shown in the figure.

3.5 ‘S-shaped’ Joining fabrication

150R, 187.5R fabricationsCut the Marmo material ‘S-shaped’ using a template or NC machine and join the surfaces in the same manner as that shown below.

※ ‘S-shaped’ fabrication is recommended through several fabrication tests in Korea. However, joining line may show from case by case.

(3) Sand the surface and visually check to verify the quality.

3.6 Fabricating countertops and island countertops made of the Marmo materials

Before fabricating the countertop upper sheet and the island countertop upper sheet,cut both ends of the materials by approximately 15mm considering the characteristicsof the pattern materialization of the Marmo materials.

(2) Join the Apron using the standard Apronfabrication methods. (Use 15mm remaining from cutting the original sheet for Apron.)
