1.07 DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING

A. Storage and Protection: Store plastic laminate materials protected from exposure to harmful weather conditions, at temperature and humidity conditions recommended by manufacturer. Store sheet materials flat on pallets or similar rack-type storage to preclude damage.

1.08 PROJECT CONDITIONS

A. Environmental Requirements: Ensure appropriate acclimatization between plastic laminate and substrate prior to fabrication. Condition plastic laminate and substrate surfaces in the same environment for 48 hours prior to fabrication.
