PROJECT MANUAL
Version: January 2012
1.07 PROJECT/SITE CONDITIONS
A. Environmental Requirements:
1. Installation shall not begin until building is enclosed, permanent heating and cooling
equipment is in operation and residual moisture from plaster, concrete or terrazzo work has
dissipated.
2. Install panels between 60 degrees F - 75 degrees F (15 - 24 degrees C) and relative humidity
below 65%, ideally at the same conditions as the room’s normal operating temperatures after
building is occupied.
3. Provide ventilation to disperse fumes during application of adhesive as recommended by
adhesive manufacturer.
B. Field Measurements: Verify actual measurements/openings by field measurements before
fabrication; show recorded measurements on shop drawings. Coordinate field measurements and
fabrication schedule with construction progress to avoid construction delays.
C PRECONDITIONING: Prior to installing Varietex, remove the packaging and allow the panels to
acclimate to room temperature and humidity for at least 48 hours. Ideally, the room temperature
and humidity during acclimation and installation should be the same as the final operating
conditions. Panels will provide a clean, aesthetically pleasing finished installation. However, by
nature, fiberglass reinforced plastic paneling may occasionally have small areas that are
aesthetically unacceptable for use. Panels should be inspected on-site prior to installation. If any
portion of material will not provide an acceptable appearance, Kemlite should be notified at once.
Upon verification of unacceptability, that responsibility is for the replacement of defective material
but not for labor or other handling or installation expenses.
1.08 MAINTENANCE
A. Extra Materials: Provide five percent of additional material for use by owner in building
maintenance and repair.
