Installation involves cutting a hole in your plasterboard or wall substrate to match the panel size. Once the frame is inserted, it should be mechanically fixed to the studs or joists and sealed properly to maintain fire integrity. The surface is low-maintenance; it can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the white powder-coated finish. If painting, use a high-quality primer to ensure the paint adheres well to the metal surface.
