In the field of architectural decoration, Co-extrusion Wall Cladding has gradually gained favor for its outstanding performance and aesthetic appearance. Kosa as a renowned enterprise in the industry, produces Co-extrusion Wall Cladding of superior quality. To fully leverage its advantages, correct installation and meticulous maintenance are crucial.
1. Installation Steps
Preparation Work
Carefully inspect the base of the wall to ensure it is flat, dry, sturdy, without cracks, oil stains, and loose substances.
Prepare the necessary tools, such as electric saws, screwdrivers, electric drills, spirit levels, and tape measures.
Transport the Co-extrusion Wall Cladding panels and related accessories to the construction site as per the design requirements and take protective measures to avoid damage to the panels.
Measurement and Positioning
Use the tape measure and spirit level to precisely measure the size of the wall, determine the starting installation position and the arrangement of the panels.
Mark the positions of the fixed points on the wall to ensure the accuracy and neatness of the installation.
Installation of Joists or Brackets
Install the appropriate joists or brackets based on the wall condition and design requirements to provide a foundation for supporting and fixing the panels.
Ensure that the joists or brackets are firmly installed and precisely level and vertical.
Panel Installation
Start from the starting position and install the Co-extrusion Wall Cladding panels of Kosa one by one on the keels or brackets.
Use dedicated screws, rivets, or fasteners to fix the panels. Pay attention that the spacing and position of the fixings should comply with the installation specifications.
During the installation process, maintain uniform gaps between the panels, generally reserving expansion joints of 3-5 millimeters to accommodate the expansion and contraction of the panels caused by temperature changes.
Splicing and Edge Treatment
For the panels that need splicing, ensure a tight fit at the splicing points without obvious gaps.
Sealants or dedicated splicing strips can be used for splicing treatment to enhance the waterproof and aesthetic effects.
Carry out edge treatment for the edges, corners, and openings of the wall, using suitable edge strips or corner lines to make the overall effect neater.
Inspection and Adjustment
After the installation is completed, comprehensively inspect the installation quality of the panels, including flatness, verticality, and uniformity of the splicing seams.
If there are uneven areas or overly large gaps, promptly make adjustments and repairs.
2. Maintenance Methods
Daily Cleaning
Regularly use soft, non-abrasive cleaning tools, such as soft cloths or sponges. Avoid using wire brushes, hard brushes, and other tools that may scratch the surface.
Carry out cleaning regularly but not too frequently to avoid unnecessary wear on the surface.
Prevention of Collisions and Scratches
Be careful to avoid heavy objects colliding with the wall and prevent sharp objects from scratching the panel surface.
When moving furniture or conducting other construction activities, take protective measures to prevent damage to the Co-extrusion Wall Cladding.
Waterproof and Moisture-proof Treatment
Avoid prolonged contact of the wall with water or being in a humid environment.
If there is rain leakage or the wall is damp, promptly dry it and identify and repair the cause to prevent the panels from getting damp and deformed.
Regular Inspection
Regularly check whether the fixings of the panels are loose. If they are loose, tighten them promptly.
Check whether there is fading, cracking, deformation, or other issues on the panel surface. If any abnormalities are found, deal with them promptly.
Treatment of Special Stains
For stubborn stains, mild dedicated cleaners can be used for treatment. Follow the instructions of the cleaners for operation.
Avoid using strong chemical solvents to prevent irreversible damage to the panels.
Through correct installation and reasonable maintenance, the Co-extrusion Wall Cladding of Kosa can provide long-term aesthetics and good performance for your building, becoming a highlight of architectural decoration.
