Ideal Applications

• All panels are approved for use in interior, non-structural applications

USAGE NOTES:
Some laminates applied to VESTA FR particleboard may change the flame spread rating. Standard available woodworking glues have been successfully used in lamination. However, some adhesives may have compatibility problems with the chemical system used to manufacture VESTA FR particleboard. Any adhesive should be tested for compatibility with the chemical system in VESTA FR particleboard prior to full-scale gluing. Questions should be directed to the glue supplier. When using VESTA FR particleboard in wall systems, an integral vapor barrier must be a properly installed component of the wall in any of the following conditions: the wall has an exterior side and the wall separates spaces conditioned unequally. Joints between panels to be designed to accommodate movement of up to .40 percent. Splined or articulated joints for reveals per AWI Section 500, 500A-G-4 “Joints and Transitions” or similar is suggested.
