g2tg™
Wetwall panels have been developed to include the second generation tongue and groove system g2tg™ that provides enhanced jointing compared to the standard jointing systems offered by many other panel manufacturers.
We recommend that timber framing is used in areas where tongue and grooved panels are required. For details of this, please refer to the full installation guidelines.
- Commence the installation of your panels in a corner or at an end by fixing the appropriate profile in position.
- Remove the protruding part of the tongue from the edge of the first panel.
- Pilot bore the back lip of the panel with a No.3 high speed drill where screws are to be located to fix the panel to the framing. (failure to pilot bore may result in the panels splitting).
- Apply a bead of Wetwall Sealant into the channel of the profile.
- Apply a generous amount of Wetwall Adhesive to the face of the framing where the panel is to be fitted.
- Insert the cut edge of the panel into the profile then press back onto the framing. Fix the panel in place using M2.5 x 16mm non-corrosive countersunk screws. Ensuring that the screws are turned until they are just under the flush to prevent any obstruction to the tongue of the next panel to be fitted.
- Pilot bore the back lip of the next panel then apply a small bead of sealant to the front edge of the tongue.
- With adhesive applied to the framing, locate the tongue of the panel into the groove of the fitted panel at an angle, then swing the panel back and fix to the framing.
- Repeat steps 7 – 8 for all remaining panels.
Careful planning on full walls is advised prior to fixing the panels to avoid having a narrow strip at the end of a run and where possible, equalise the panels from a central point with the last panel always positioned above the entrance door.
