          PART 3EXECUTION
 
          3.1EXAMINATION
 
          A.Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.
 
          B.Verify substrate conditions, which have been previously installed under other sections, are acceptable for product installation in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
 
          C.Verify that site conditions are acceptable for installation of wall panels. Examine substrate surfaces to determine that corners are plumb and straight, surfaces are smooth, uniform, clean and free from foreign matter, nails are countersunk and joints and cracks are filled flush and smooth.
 
          D.Do not proceed with installation until unacceptable conditions are corrected.
 
          E.If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
 
          3.2PREPARATION
 
          A.Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
 
          B.Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
          1.Wall substrate shall be dry and free from dirt, dust, grease and other contaminants. Walls shall be flat and even. Remove high spots and fill low spots with material acceptable to panel manufacturer.
          2.Remove wallpaper, soluble or loose paint and other foreign matter that might interfere with proper adhesive bond.
          3.Painted walls shall be prepared to adhesive manufacturer specifications for proper adhesion.
 
          3.3INSTALLATION
 
          A.Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and the following requirements.
 
          B.Prior to installing panels, remove packaging and allow panels to acclimate to room temperature and humidity for at least 48 hours.
          1.Inspect panels for any defects immediately. Do not install panels of unacceptable quality. Field cutting of all wall systems should be accomplished using a circular saw with fine tooth carbide blade.
 
          C.Position panel so that the saw blade enters the finished HPL side first to avoid chipping or damage. Protect decorative laminate face of panel by covering work area, do not remove protective film until after installation.
 
          D.Follow adhesive manufacturer's recommendations for appropriate height of adhesive bead left by trowel and do not allow adhesive to skin over. When interior paneling is on an exterior wall or wet area, provide a barrier sheet and/or follow the adhesive manufacturer's installation recommendations for a secure bond.
 
          E.For installation to studs or furring straps, for non-composite wall system applications use mechanical fasteners spaced 24 inches (610 mm) on center. Furring straps shall be no less than 18 gauge, 3-1/2 inches (89 mm) wide.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete trim installation if not required.
 
          F.Installation Using Aluminum Moldings or PVC Trims: Comply with manufacturer's recommendations.
          1.Apply adhesive directly to entire back of composite wall panel.
          2.Install one-piece division bar and caps or next molding by sliding onto panel.
          3.Immediately remove all adhesive residue.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete caulk installation if not required.
 
          G.Installation Using Caulk:
          1.Plan panel layout so seams are not directly over seams of substrate.
          2.Apply adhesive directly to entire back of composite wall panel.
          3.Fill gap between the panels with caulk.
          4.Install corner moldings as scheduled.
 
          3.4CLEANING
 
          A.Clean panel surfaces in compliance with manufacturer's recommendations.
          1.Use a clean, damp, nonabrasive cotton cloth and a mild liquid detergent or household cleaner.
          2.Rinse with clean water using a clean, nonabrasive cotton cloth.
          3.Dry panels with a soft, clean nonabrasive cotton cloth.
          4.Do not use cleaners containing acid, alkali or sodium hypochlorite.
 
          3.5PROTECTION
 
          A.Protect installed products until completion of project.
 
          B.Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
