Clean with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and a mild soap solution. Remove fingerprints and spills promptly, then dry the surface with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Avoid abrasive pads, alcohol, acetone and strong solvents unless the manufacturer specifically approves them. Use protective pads beneath objects that could scratch the surface.
Confirm fire and building-code requirements before specification.
Allow for thermal expansion and contraction.
Use compatible adhesives, fixings and sealants.
Provide suitable support for large panels.
Protect finished faces during fabrication and installation.
