OVERVIEW: EnviroGuard™ PLY is a composite panel for interior use made by laminating a fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) or high density polyethylene (HDPE) skin to a substrate of douglas fir plywood. EnviroGuard™ PLY is attached to the substrate (or studs) using construction adhesive in the field of the panel and mechanical fasteners around the perimeter. The system is completed with one piece or two piece plastic (PVC) trim moldings.
BASIC USES & APPLICATIONS: EnviroGuard™ panels are designed to provide an easily maintained surface for interior wall and ceiling applications. Durable fiberglass reinforced plastic or high density polyethlene skins make these panels ideal for use in kitchens, restrooms, locker rooms, food processing plants, animal shelters, temporary educational facilities as well as any other application where a washable, low maintenance surface is desired.
GENERAL LIMITATIONS: EnviroGuard™ panels are intended for interior use as wall or ceiling panels only. Panels may be installed as a structural element of a wall assembly depending upon fastening schedule. Other limitations to the installation of EnviroGuard™ PLY panels are dependent upon the specific application.
SYSTEM FINISHES: EnviroGuard™ PLY panels are offered in either fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) or high density polyethylene (HDPE) skins. Both options are available in textured or smooth finishes and as well as a variety of thicknesses. Standard color for all panels is white. However, other colors are available if desired. Minimums may apply. Standard color for PVC moldings is also white.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
CONCEALED FASTENERS: EnviroGuard™ PLY offers a variety of attachment systems depending on the appearance desired (including one piece and two piece moldings). Typically, panels are fastened to the substrate (or studs) using mechanical fasteners around the perimeter of the panel. Construction adhesive is used at the intermediates and in the field of the panel. The joints are finished with PVC moldings that are either snapped or tapped in place, adhered to the face of the panel, or fastened to the panel using small brads (depending on the type of molding selected).
