Installation Steps

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be worn at all times when handling material and operating the power tools mentioned throughout this process. Review the PPE Matrix for further guidance.

  1. Locate all materials.  Wrap panels can be single pieces or multiple pieces in a stack. 

If you are completing a multi-stack, pay close attention to the elevation to understand the orientation. If it is not clear, speak with the design consultant or your install manager for clarification.

  1. Dry fit the pieces to ensure all dimensions are correct and review where the attachment points are.  Note where all shelves are located on the partition.

  2. Beginning from the bottom, place the partition on top of the first wrap panel.

  • Ensure there is no debris or anything between the panel and partition, and the partition is resting against the panel with no gaps.

  • A clamp will help to hold the panel in place.

  1. Attach the panel to the partition.

  • Place a screw in the front and back of the partition at each fixed shelf location. All screws should be concealed by the shelf after it is installed. All screws must be countersunk.

  • Place nails in all corners of the partition aligning with the wrap panel, and every 18” along the front and back, continuing up the height of the partition.

  • Hide nails behind shelves or other elements of the component.

  • Refer to the table below to understand nail and screw sizes depending on the thickness of the material you are installing.
