STEP 1 – PLANNING AND CUTTING
 Fit each panel in advance before fastening and/or adhering in place.
 Perform all cutting and drilling prior to adhesive application.
o If not using trim strips, it is recommended that the edges be
properly trimmed with a router. This will mitigate showing
“white lines” from the factory edges of the panel. A commercial
high speed router using a Bosch 3/8” Laminate Trim Bit with
ball bearing, carbide tip, and roller tip (when appropriate) is
recommended.
 Verify that substrate surface has no bumps or uneven areas.
 Pre-drill rivet holes using a bit that is 1/8”-1/4” larger than rivet allowing
for panel expansion according to the sizes in the chart on the previous
page.
 Plan ahead for cove or base molding. Base molding should be
installed in such a manner as not to restrict the LuxCore panel’s
normal movement. Cut panels 1/4” short of where the base molding
will extend; poured molding should be in place prior to installation.
 Mark a plumb line 48-1/8” from the corner. In areas where several
courses of panels are used, such as on a high wall, use vertical and
horizontal lines to assure alignment.
STEP 2 – INSTALLING ON WALL
 Install one piece of corner molding and apply silicone sealant in
molding groove.
 If using rivets, drill holes into substrate through the pre-drilled holes in
panel.
 If using Titebond® Advanced Polymer Panel Adhesive, apply adhesive
to panel using adhesive manufacturer’s recommended notched trowel
to ensure good adhesion.
 If using Weldwood® non-flammable, water-based contact cement,
apply to both surfaces according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
 Set first panel true to plumb line.
 If using adhesive, firmly roll over the panel using a laminate roller,
starting at the top corner nearest the molding rolling down and away
toward the opposite edge, eliminating air pockets.
