Installation Guide

• Use the pop-out template from the packaging to mark the area, and a drywall saw to form your opening
• Make sure the structural opening is at least 5mm larger than the panel size, back of frame size
• Position the fixing clamps so they are facing the drywall and place the panel into the aperture
• Using a screwdriver or drill, tighten the screws until the clamps are firmly secured
• Apply Lorient Intumescent Sealant on both faces of the frame, nominally 5mm wide sealing to the supporting construction
• Plaster over the panel face and frame for a discreet finish (only the lock will remain visible)
• Once plastered over, you are able to decorate to match the wall/ceiling

NOTE: prior to applying the plaster skim coat, a joint filler and scrim tape should be applied over the junction between the beaded frame and the plasterboard in order to prevent cracking of the skim coat.
