VERTICAL INSTALLATION

1       Vertical installation of the KOROK® panels
requires the C-track to be fixed to the supporting
structure, e.g. walls, columns, portals, soffits and
slabs.
Plan your setout.

2        To ensure the C-track is sealed to the
structure, a continuous bead of fire rated sealant
is run around the perimeter before the C-track or
Angle sections are laid and fixed.
Or the sealant can be applied directly to the C-track
before fixing in place.

3       Using a masonry drill bit, pre-drill the
C-track at 400mm centres.

4       Then use the fixings to secure the C-track.

APARTMENT INTERTENANCY SYSTEMS INSTALLATION

5         If the surrounding surface is uneven or
if you’re not sure you have a good seal, add a
continuous bead of fire rated sealant around the
perimeter of the C-track where it contacts the
surrounding surface.

6         KOROK® panels must be cut 20mm shorter
than the structural opening measurement to allow
for fitting.
Pull back a 300mm section of the strippable film on
the ends of the panels before placing the panels in
to the C-track.
Ensure that the first panel is plumbed vertical after
fitting into the C-track. Screw fix the panel into
place to the C-track.
Subsequent panels are placed in a tilt and snap
action.

7         Ensure the tongue and groove are
fully locked to maintain the fire and acoustic
performance. Remove strippable film at the end of
each day’s work.

8       CUTTING OF KOROK® PANELS
KOROK® panels can be cut to length and width
with the use of a reciprocating saw or a radial saw
with dust extraction. Diamond cutting discs are
recommended for radial saws.
Where KOROK® panels are trimmed to width, the
cut edge of the panel is fitted into the C-track
and so is always the last panel abutting the wall
or column. The panel is then sealed and fixed in
position as usual.

LAST PANEL

9        Stop short of the end vertical KOROK®
C-track by approximately 1 metre and cut out a
600mm Angle section from the top and bottom
C-track.
Plan ahead and make an allowance for a 50mm
overlap onto the panels installed prior to the
last remaining two panels.

10        Cut your end panel (the last panel) ensuring
that a distance of 500mm remains between panels
for the last two panels to be squeezed into position.

                                                                                                        m

11      Once the final two panels are in position,
simply replace the Angle and fix to panels. Screw
the C-track and Angle sections to the panels in the
normal fashion.

11a     When using 51mm KOROK panels seal the
3 close-off panel joints with fire rated sealant to
one side.

 FINAL CHECK
 At the completion of the job and at the finish of each day’s work, it is essential that the completed area be
 thoroughly cleaned of all swarf, rivet stems, nails, drillings and screws etc. normally associated with the
 installation of metal KOROK® panels. Remove any remaining strippable film, check all fixings are correctly
 installed, all fire and acoustic rated sealant is applied correctly.

NOTES
1. For C-track running parallel to the panels, 10-16 Tek screw fixings at 400mm centres are used each side.
2. 78mm Panel Properties - These span tables are based on ambient conditions. When used as part of a fire rated system, the maximum unsupported vertical span of the KOROK® panels is 6.0 metres and the
   maximum unsupported horizontal span is 5.0 metres. Greater spans are subject to specific engineering design and/or fire engineering assessment.
3.   51mm Panel Properties - These span tables are based on ambient conditions. When used as part of a fire rated system, the maximum unsupported span of the KOROK panels is 5.0 metres vertical or 4.0
     metres horizontal. Greater unsupported spans will require specific FRR design.
