  • - The following support preparation requirements shall be strictly observed:
    • a. Moisture of the support: <10%
    • b. Avoid applications under the direct action of the sun, in the presence of traces of dirt, pencil marks, dust, granules and moisture stains.
    • c. Temperature and weather conditions are critical factors (no rain in the 3 days before, during the entire installation period and for 2 days after its completion).
    • d. The grain size of the wall structure must be max. 0.4-0.5 mm (0.016" - 0.020")
    • e. Check that the walls are level and plumb, as well as the corners. If not, please inform us.
    • f. Provide information if the window intradoses will also be covered with the product.
    • g. Check the current wall condition and any tendency to mould formation; any affected areas must be repaired. In case of rising moisture, treat the surface with specific anti-moisture products.
    • h. Check the moisture levels of the walls with a moisture reader (contact hygrometer): the surfaces for the installation of OUT System products must have a moisture reading below 10% or in any case comply with the values and ranges indicated by the tool manufacturer.
    • i. It is mandatory to maintain distance from the floor, at least 10 cm/ 4". In many cases 30 cm/ 12" is the ideal choice, however, the value should be determined according to the wall conditions.
    • j. Do not leave rough edges, raw cuttings.
    • k. A protective profile must be installed on the top of the wall (fix it with silicone for external use).
    • l. It is strongly not recommended to drill/cut the wall covering after the installation.
    • m. Any light points, protrusions/overhangs must be sealed with silicone on the sides and top edges, leaving the bottom edge free.
