Fadeguard should remain stacked on its edge with appropriate edge and corner protection removed only at the point of installation. Fadeguard should not be stacked in wet conditions or in direct sunlight prior to installation.

Glazing

All glazing must be carried out in accordance with our installation provisions.

Typical Weight: 2.56kg/m2/mm thickness
Thickness range: from 6.8mm
Minimum size: 300 x 500mm

Safety Requirements:

Fadeguard is a structural product and is not designed to withstand pedestrian traffic in BS6399. Fadeguard products should only be installed using approved compatible glazing materials (please refer to Glazeguard S.W. Ltd for further information). Where edges are likely to be exposed to moisture then we strongly suggest that a form of edge protection is applied. Mechanical and structural calculations are available at a cost to be agreed. Fadeguard should not be installed in applications where sustained temperatures exceeding 60°C will be experienced.

General Notes:

Manufacturing, appearance and visual tolerances in accordance with EN 12543 pts 1-6, EN12600, EN12150, EN1363, EN1279 and acredited to the European Construction Product Directive.

Bubbles
During the laminating process it is possible that small air bubbles may be entrapped; these may naturally disperse during the curing process. Any latent defects may be treated and will not adversely affect the performance of Fadeguard products. Bubbles under 3mm in diameter and not visible from 3 metres away in normal daylight will be deemed acceptable.

Specifiers
An edge tape may be evident unless otherwise specified. Completion of mechanical and thermal safety checks for any application remains the responsibility of the person(s) placing the order.

Deterioration may be caused by mediums other than UV light, therefore we are unable to comment on the causes, effects or levels of deterioration to specific materials. Advice regarding the causes of deterioration should be requested from either the manufacturer of the product to be protected or an appropriate industry affiliated body.
