DELIVERY RECEIVALS & STORAGE Special Requirements For Mineral Wool Panel Handling • Mineral Wool (MW) core material is fibrous as such it is easy to fracture the mineral wool fibres if handled and installed incorrectly. • For successful use of MW panels it’s important to ensure the panel core remains completely dry and securely glued to the steel skins. • Incorrect handling, storage and installation of MW panels can result in delamination and/or creasing of the panel. Receiving Panel Packs • The panels are carefully packed to protect them during transport. • They are a ready-to-install, finished product and special care should be taken when unloading and handling them to avoid permanent damage to the panels. Particularly the underside ceiling. • Ensure that adequate lifting equipment (ie crane or forklift) is available prior to the delivery truck arriving • Ensure that a suitable level location is available to store the off-loaded panels, preferable on a concrete slab. • When unloading the truck, the packs of panels will have attached stickers indicating the correct lifting points. • For packs of panels under 8 meters a forklift may be used. • For longer packs a forklift with spreader lifting lugs is recommended.
