	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Laminators Incorporated offers installation systems for differing application conditions. System I for Omega-Lite panel uses tight fitting moldings. Applications include mansard roofs, fascias, soffits, railing inserts, walls, ceilings, doors and kick plates. Panels are installed at jobsite by carpenters or glaziers with standard carpentry tools and distributor stocked parts. System II for Omega-Lite or Thermolite infill panels is recommended for storefronts, skylight and curtain walls with extrusions by others. Panels are glazed into storefront or curtain wall systems and require glazing skills. System IV for Omega-Lite produces a high tech appearance in curtain walls, fascias and soffits. Moldings can be supplied by Laminators Incorporated or by others. Fabrication can be done in the shop or field. System VI for Omega-Lite mimics System IV at a much lower installed cost. ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete panel support system not required.
		B.	Aluminum Composite Panel Installation System:
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Extrusion system (System I) utilizes extruded aluminum moldings to cover panel joints and provide a more 'finished' or 'contemporary panel' appearance. Aesthetically pleasing, the extrusions use a 'cut-to-fit' approach for easy contractor installation and minimal waste.
			1.	One-Piece Tight-Fit Extrusion Installation System I.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Consult with Laminators Incorporated for below installation system.
			2.	Two-Piece Snap-Fit Installation System I.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** System IV provides a solid, rigid and smooth finish. Traditional rout and return joints with panned edges can also be achieved using standard carpentry tools. This process can be performed in the field to minimize installation costs. Canopy applications benefit from the panels' inherent strength and resistance to oil-canning. Installation instructions walk installer through the process step-by-step. Shop drawings are submitted before fabrication.
			3.	Rout and Return Installation System IV.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** "Clip & Caulk" (System VI) is ideal for on-site installation, because it is the easiest to install. Requires the least amount of shop fabrication, shop drawings, and pre-planning, but it is a cut-to-fit approach that requires few peripheral accessories. Plus, silicone caulk will bond to Laminators CPA panel cores. The 'Clip & Caulk' System VI offers quality comparable to rout and return systems at considerably less expense.
			4.	Clip and Caulk Installation System VI.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete if no Omega-Lite panels. Omega-Lite flex panels can be field rolled to radii of 18" (457mm) and above without costly, offsite fabrication and fittings. Contact manufacturer for more information.
