Page 6: Key Points About Metaline Splashback Systems
Splashbacks are not suitable for installations where benchtop is less than 600mm. The Laminex Metaline Splashback system has a proprietary coating that allows it to be cleaned easily. Cleaning of Metaline Splashbacks should follow the “Care and Maintenance” section, which is contained later in this manual and also on the consumer warranty card. -

Important Design Considerations – Expansion and Orientation Thermal Expansion Laminex Metaline Splashbacks is an aluminium based composite material and will therefore exhibit minor expansion and contraction behaviours during heating and cooling. Thermal expansion must be considered when calculating dimensions and allowances for joins between sheets and around edges. -
Page 18: Direction Of Coil Coating
This orientation must be taken into account when making panel optimisation calculations. Always use Laminex Metaline Splashbacks panels from the same batch code for a job, rather than mix panels. This will avoid any minor colour variations caused by the coil coating process. -

Page 21: Sheet Inspection
Laminex Metaline Splashback sheets must be cut with a downward cutting stroke on the decorated surface. Always ensure that the workplace is kept free of swarf and other hard objects that may damage the Laminex Metaline Splashback surface. -
Page 22: Hand Held Router
splashbacks METALINE ® Hand Held Router A hand held router cuts with a sideways action, however because of the high level of dragging during operation, the decorated side should be downwards. Always use a vacuum extraction on a router to prevent swarf build-up around the collet. -

Important Note: Minimum installation distance for gas and electric cooktops For all inbuilt gas and electric cooktops – Laminex Metaline Splashbacks must be installed with a minimum of 30mm set back from the rear of the cooktop. This applies to all gas, electric and induction cooktops. The minimum benchtop width suitable for Laminex Metaline Splashback installation is 600mm. -
Page 25: All Cooktop Installations
® All Cooktop Installations Gas and Electric Cook tops require the installation of Laminex Metaline Calcium Silicate mineral board directly behind the cooktop to provide additional heat protection for the wall structure and ensure compliance with the relevant BCA/ BCNZ requirements, as well as CodeMark certification. The Laminex Metaline Calcium Silicate mineral board must be installed to a minimum height of 150mm above the benchtop level across the full width of the cooktop. -
Page 26: Surface Preparation
Laminex supplies 9mm calcium silicate board with all Laminex Metaline Splashback panels. Substitute mineral boards must not be used. Installation of 9mm calcium silicate board not required where Laminex Metaline Splashbacks are installed directly onto rendered brick and/or cement brick walls. -

1mm, with allowance for diagonal variations. Check all measurements before transferring to the Laminex Metaline Splashbacks surface. (Refer to Fabrication section for the most suitable method of cutting to size). Dimensions will depend on the selected method of installation (viz. folded vs butt joined method). -
Page 28: Dry Fit
Dry Fit Laminex Metaline Splashbacks should be dry fitted to the wall to check dimensional accuracy. The use of glazier’s suction cups will assist in the handling of the Metaline panels. Once a satisfactory fit is achieved, the panel should be removed to allow for silicone application. -
