Installation notes
- 1Cut boards with a fine-tooth saw; wear respiratory protection for dust
- 2Install as a back-up layer behind the dense/fibre hot-face lining, never on the hot face
- 3Keep panels dry; encapsulated/foil-faced grades resist handling damage
- 4Use to cut shell temperature or save lining thickness where space is limited
