Storage and installation instructions
KRONOPLAN®/KRONOART® & other HPL boards

Storage

When storing the HPL sheets, also known as Trespa, any contamination between the sheets and in their surroundings should be avoided. HPL panels should always be stacked horizontally on flat, stable supports and a clean surface. Full support must be provided. Stacks must have a clean cover plate. Storage should be in enclosed, dry rooms under normal temperatures and conditions. Improper storage may cause permanent warping and damage to the surface of the HPL sheets.

Rivet and screw length

The following formula is used to determine the correct screw length:

  • Thickness of HPL panel + thickness of substructure + max. 13.4 mm (incl. 6 mm for cap nut) = length of balcony screw.

The following formula is used to determine the proper rivet length:

  • Thickness of HPL panel + thickness of spacer ring + thickness of substructure + 5 mm for rivet head = length of rivet.

Processing of HPL

HPL sheets must be machined like hardwood or coated particleboard. Carbide tools for woodworking are suitable for processing this plastic. These panels can be cut, drilled and milled. Care should be taken to use sharp tools to avoid bleeding of the cut and heat stress on the cutting edges. Threads can be threaded into the panels. HPL panels are also suitable for curved applications. The minimum bending radius r = 2 m for 6 mm sheet thickness and r = 4 m for 8 mm sheet thickness must be observed. A suitable substructure must be provided.

Drilling & HPL

During assembly, it is recommended to form a fixed point and several sliding points. Maintaining the fixed point ensures that the HPL panels are always aligned longitudinally and transversely. The fixed point is placed in the center of the panel in a two-panel installation and in the center of one panel edge in a single-panel installation. For fixed points, the diameter of the hole is equal to the diameter of the fastener, sliding points must be at least 1.5 times the diameter.

Attachment

Ventilated facades are characterized by an air gap between the HPL panel and the insulation layer. This air gap must be at least 20 mm. The absence of the air gap may lead to condensation and deformation of the panel. The natural expansion, which is 2.5 mm in the longitudinal direction and 2.5 mm in the transverse direction, must also be taken into account. Intensive decors are provided with a protective film on both sides. This protective film must be removed immediately after installation. For further technical information, please refer to the manufacturer's specifications.
