Important tips for installing Fibo wall panels
- Use a rocking motion when clicking the panels together to ensure a good join in the Aqualock. Do not force, as this can damage the lock and result in delamination of the core.
- Using the Fibo Grip will provide increased control when joining plates.
- Gently strike against the nail lip on the right side of the panel with the Fibo Tapping Tool to ensure the panel is fully locked.
- If using screws, make sure that the screws are not excessively tightened to avoid pulling through the nail lip.
