SpinFix—prepping the wall
- Unbox panels and accessories,

- Fix Hang-Right brackets to the wall.
- Use a laser level to align Hang-Right Brackets where you intend the bottom edge of your panel(s) to sit once installed.
- Use a single screw per Hang-Right Bracket. Do not overtighten as brackets will be removed after installation.
- Not required if you have a skirting board to align to.
- Measure and mark fixing points.
- Ideal clip spacing is 100 mm in from panel edges, and 550 – 625 mm apart.
- Approximately 15x fixing points are required per 2400 x 1200 mm panel.
- Adjust fixing points for studs as required.
- Fix the SpinFix button and washer to the substrate.
- It is the building contractor’s responsibility to use appropriate wall fixings.

SpinFix—prepping and fixing the panel
- Press the panel onto SpinFix clips to mark the fixing points.
- Position the panel on your Hang-Right Brackets in the exact position the panel will be installed.
- Firmly press the panel around each clip position to create an impression in the sheet.
- Note: do not hit the panel, as this can discolor the material.
- Once all SpinFix clips have been pressed, remove the panel and lay flat on a working surface. At this point, you should see 15 small impressions in the back of the panel. These are your fixing points.
- Remove SpinFix clips from buttons on the wall.
- SpinFix clips create a 6 mm air gap for added acoustic performance.
- Connect SpinFix clips to the panel.
- Attach the Drill Tool to the power drill.
- Set the spin speed and torque to high.
- Locate SpinFix clip point on the panel impression.
- Push Drill Tool into SpinFix clip. Use the weight of the drill as pressure when fixing clips.
- Hold the power drill straight and pull the trigger. Spin at max speed for approximately 3-5 seconds (until the clip edge is flush with the panel surface).
- Stop spinning, hold the clip with your fingers, and remove the Drill Tool from the clip.
- Repeat the process for adjacent panels.
- Note: a consistent kick trim is ideal for bottom-edge alignment during installation and throughout product life.
