5. 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.
