Storage - transport - handling

Storage and Transport

  • Suitable forklifts or construction cranes should be used for loading and unloading (with a lifting strap where necessary).
  • The packaging must be protected against mechanical damage and against the harmful influences of moisture and poor weather conditions.
  • Siding, siding.X and perforated siding must be stored under dry conditions.
  • If you are storing the siding, siding.X and perforated siding outside, please ensure that they are covered and sufficiently ventilated.
  • In order to avoid warping, the siding, siding.X and perforated siding should be supported at several points along the entire length (e.g. using wooden slats) so that they are lying flat.
  • Do not place heavy objects on the siding, siding.X or perforated siding.

Handling

  • Immediately after receiving your delivery: Check the pallets for visible damage.
  • When unpacking the pallets: Check the siding, siding.X and perforated siding for damage.
  • The siding & siding.X must be packed and unpacked in a clean area.
  • Lift the siding, siding.X and perforated siding and do not pull or push them over edges in order to avoid damaging them.
  • Depending on the colour, siding, siding.X and perforated siding are delivered with a protective film. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the protective film must be removed before installation, but after 4 weeks at the latest in the case of storage.
  • Should the protective film partially come off during processing or installation, dirty marks can develop over time which may be difficult or impossible to remove.
