CHOICE OF BOARD THICKNESS/WEIGHT

As a general guide the thicker the boards are heavy duty and the thinner boards are lighter duty, as can be seen from the crush resistance chart further below. As a guide we can say that the static load of a solid wheel forklift truck 1000 KN/m2 so use the heavy duty 6mm board whereas the static load of a person is 20 KN/m2 so use the 2mm board. An intermediate board e.g. 3 or 4mm can be used for occasional heavy traffic or extremely high value applications.

WARNINGS AND DISCLAIMERS

Due to the innumerable conditions on the renovation/building site ANTINOX® can not be held responsible for any damage caused by its use and we always recommend you use wisdom when considering which protection to use.
ANTINOX® must never be used where there is any hint of moisture present i.e. New wood floors, new screeded floors, new marble floors etc and underfloor heating has been known to create a sweating which should be avoided at all costs. Any dampness/sweating which gets trapped between the ANTINOX® board and the floor can cause discolouration cracking or cupping (wood floors). Never lay print side down due to the danger of ink transfer on to the finished surface. Swiftec Global Ltd offer a fully breathable/water resistant product which can be used in these situations.
