Instructions / Assembly

BEFORE YOU BEGIN, PLEASE READ
Be sure to read and follow the instructions.
Eucaboard / Eucaplac/ Eucatile paneling is intended for dry interior use only
and requires care in handling.
Eucatex paneling should not be used in environments where an accumulation
of water, grease, smoke, or other surface contaminants will require frequent
cleaning to remove accumulations.
Panels cannot be installed directly to studs in mobile homes.
When using cleaning materials, experiment with scrap paneling or spot clean
in an inconspicuous area. Eucatex is not responsible for any damage caused by
non-recommended cleaning methods.
Always check your building code. Panels are Class III fire rated and most panels
are only allowed to be installed over a solid wall under most building codes.
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) containing potential physical and health
hazard information is available at your retailer.
Care should be taken during installation to allow for space between panels
and heat producing appliances and ignition sources. Consult your local building
code authority for guidelines and requirements.
Improper use and/or installation will void any warranty of the product.
CONDITIONING PANELS
Condition panels by placing them in the room to be paneled at least 72
hours prior to installation.
Stack the panels or lean them against a wall, with spacers between each sheet.
This allows the room air to circulate around each panel for proper acclimation.

WALL PREPARATION
Installing paneling over existing true
walls requires no preliminary
preparation. Sanding high spots on
the wall is generally about all you
have to do.
Exterior Wall
Vapor Barrier
Gypsum
Panel
Panels of 1/8 thickness must
be applied to solid walls only, and
above the grade.
Panels of 3/16 thickness or
greater may be installed directly to
the stud frame, above or below
grade.
To install Panels directly to studs, it
is necessary to have a solid
insulated exterior wall and 4-mil
or greater polyethylene vapor
barrier behind the studs.
