ACRYLIC SPLASHBACKS

• Datco Acrylic’s are co- extruded (not painted) which produces a beautiful glossy finish that looks just like glass.

• Acrylic splashbacks are much stronger than glass yet are less than half the weight, making installation much easier and safer.

• Datco Industries can supply all panels cut to exact requirements. Laser cut panels can be supplied in any shape with cut outs for light switches and electrical sockets included.

• Datco Industries specialise in supplying panels that are ready to be installed. If required acrylic panels can be modified on site using basic tooling, unlike tempered glass which would have to be returned to factory.

PANEL INSTALLATION

1. Remove the masking film from the coloured reverse side and clean with isopropyl alcohol.

2. Fix 12mm wide double-sided mirror tape using a pressure roll according to instructions.

3. Apply natural crosslinking silicone in strips between the strips of adhesive tape.

4. The silicone beads should be between 3 and 4 mm high.

(Pay attention to the processing guide of the silicone.)

5. Remove paper from the adhesive strips.

6. Hold the sheets at a 45° angle to the flat substrate so as to avoid contact with the wall as yet.

7. Straighten the sheet and press it against the wall using a spirit level.

8. Press the sheet firmly against the wall to ensure that the adhesive tape is in contact with the substrate.

9. Leave the neutrally crosslinking silicone to cure for 24 hours.
