Guide to Maintaining NEVAMAR® Laminate Panels:

NEVAMAR® decorative laminate provides a durable surface that is easy to maintain using ordinary care. In most cases to maintain the laminate’s lasting beauty, cleaning with a solution of warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent is all that should be required.

Installation:

Install products in strict accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and approved submittals.

1. Clean substrate of dirt, dust, waxes, and other bond breaking substances prior to beginning installation.
2. Follow adhesive manufacturer’s recommendations for set and application times.
3. Apply pressure to entire panel face with laminate type roller, removing trapped air and ensure proper adhesion between surfaces.

Fabrication Guidelines:

1. Proper conditioning of the laminate, substrate, and backing sheet minimizes possible warping, shrinking, or expansion of assembled panels. Ideally, all components should be conditioned at 70˚F to 75˚F (21˚C to 25˚C) and 45 to 50 percent relative humidity for 48-hours prior to assembly.
2. Always bond laminate to a suitable substrate such as medium to high density fiberboard, particleboard, or metals. It should not be glued directly to plaster walls, gypsum wallboard, or concrete.
3. Recommended adhesives include solvent or water-based contact cement, white glue (PVA), epoxy, and hot melt glue. Consult your adhesive supplier for specific application requirements.
4. The use of a backing sheet is recommended to minimize warpage. The thickness of the backing sheet should be relatively equal to the thickness of the decorative laminate on the face of the assembly.
5. All saw blades and router bits used for cutting should be carbide tipped. Feed rate should be slow and tool speed should be high.
