RapidFit vanity units are designed to be asversatile as possible, to allow standardcomponents to be used in all types of roomarrangements.

It is assumed that all timber framing is provided bythe installer and constructed to suit the on sitedimensions. Treated timber should be used for thefirst fix and any cut outs made to the suppliedpanels, that would be exposed to moisture, mustbe suitably sealed. Sanitaryware and plumingitems are not supplied with these units.

Construct timber framing to suit the requiredVanity Unit dimensions A. Please ensure framingis built to a sufficient height to allow for skirting(normally 100mm) and Access Panels plus anadditional 20mm above the Access Panel to allowclearance for the Gravity Fixing Clips. A suggestedoverall framing height of 780mm is recommended.If Vanity Unit is corner sited, the framing needs tobe left 40mm short of Vanity Top - see Optional*Decor End Panel instruction (page 2).

Framing for the Shadow Gap should be set back60mm from the depth of the Vanity Top to ensurethat, when the Access Panels are installed, anyexcess water dripping off the downstand will droponto the floor and not onto the Access Panel F.

Shadow Gap material is supplied as three 150 x2800 x 18mm lengths. This material should be cuton site to the required site dimensions andscrewed on all inner edges to the timber framing,to ensure all fixings are hidden behind AccessPanels (as per diagram B).

Access Panel(s) are fixed by means of Lift-on Lift-off plastic Gravity Clips, the location of these clipson the panels and Shadow Gap will ultimately bedetermined by overall site dimensions. However,the Access Panel is manufactured 100mm shorterin length than the Vanity Top, to leave a suggestedvertical Shadow Gap of 50mm (as per diagram C).

Fix the Vanity Top to the framing by screwingthrough the framing on to the underneath of thetop. Please remember the top is 20mm thick, becareful to avoid screws breaking through the topsurface. (as per diagram E).

OPTIONAL* DECOR END PANEL

An additional pack is available for corner-sitedarrangements. In such a circumstance, theframing should be left 40mm short of the overallvanity length, and the Shadow Gap side edgeshould project 18mm past the frame. This is toallow the Decor End Gable Panel to master (tuckin behind) the Shadow Gap.

Larger Gable Panel is supplied at 560mm deep toallow scribe to wall. The panel should then befixed by screwing from the inside, if accessible,alternatively glue on the panel. If screws need tobe used from the outside, position above 600mmto avoid the screw heads showing (as per diagramG).

The small 580 x 180 x I8mm MDF return panel isthen glued to the underside of the Vanity Top (asper diagram H).

The loose laminate is then glued (contactadhesive) to the exposed blocked end and shouldbe trimmed around the top and downstand toleave an attractive neat finish (as per diagram H).

Panels are all manufactured from I8mm MoistureResistant Melamine Faced Chipboard (MR-MFC)and all visible edges are edged with a 2.0mmcolour matched PVC. The Vanity Top ismanufactured from Moisture Resistant MDF facedwith High Pressure Laminate. It is essential thatwhen site dimensions require panels to be cutdown on site that any edges, which may beexposed to moisture, are sealed with a suitablesealant. Similarly, all basin and plumbing holes andcut outs should be sealed to avoid prolongedcontact of the core to moisture.

IPS INSTALLATION GUIDEPrior to beginning your project, please check all materials are as per order and check drawings to suit required layout. If there are any discrepancies, please contact Rearo’s Commercial Department to discuss (0141-440-0800).

Tools required:

- Screw Gun/ drill- Hand saw- IPS panels- Shadow Gap lengths- Lift on/ o� clips (pack of 4 per panel)- Push on/ o� clips (if required)- S/wood Timber- Spirit Level/ Laser Measure- Tape Measure- Suction Handle- PPE (if required)

STEP 1: FRAMING

• Cut and install perimeter timber frame to the required layout. Additional vertical timbers may be required where multiple runs of IPS are situated side by side. Please refer to Rearo’s project speci�c IPS layouts where applicable.

Fig 1

STEP 2: APPLICATION OF SHADOW GAP

Fig 2

Fig 2.1

• Install two outer shadow gaps [1&2] first, ensuring they are plumb and level. If IPS has a return end remember to extend face shadow gap by 20mm past the framework. This will ensure no visible join to the face of the panel. Refer to figure 2.1

• Install sections 3 and 4 ensuring they are square and level

• Please note, when installing all s/gap strips, fix the strips to the inside edge of the area. This way the fixings will be hidden once the IPS panels are fitted.

• Install further mid s/gaps if required

• We recommend additional timbers where cubicle partitions meet the framing. Refer to figure 2.2

STEP 3: INSTALLATION OF IPS

Fig 3

Fit part A of ke ku clips to inner edges of shadow gaps, align the bottom IPS panels in correct position ensuring it is level and mark the reverse to allow part b of the ke ku clips to be �tted. Screw and �t clips. Clip on the panel and ensure that it is level, adjust if necessary. See �gure 3.1

Repeat above two processes until all IPS panels are installed

When installing compact grade IPS panels, please note the di�erent type of screw �xings within the ke ku clip bags. This is to ensure the screw doesn’t burst the face

STEP 4: COMPLETION

Remove protective �lm from panels and shadow gap and to �nish clean as per standard instruction (O&M)

PREPARATION

Assess area for installation of IPS, noting any gradient on the �oor or walls, allowing this to be considered during installation

Using a spirit level, align and mark the required position of the timber frame.

fumes. Workplace exposure limits of inhalable dust are required to be below 10mg/Nm3 in accordance with COSHH Regulations

2002. Ensure good housekeeping is practiced to prevent accumulations of fugitive emissions and spills of dust which can

contribute to the risk of explosions.

Respirator: Approved respirator under dusty conditions recommended.

Ventilation: Local Exhaust: Due to explosive potential of wood dust when suspended in air, precautions should

be taken to prevent sparks or other ignition sources in ventilation equipment. Use of totally

enclosed motors is recommended.

Gloves: Recommended to reduce skin contact, except where moving machinery parts expose fingers to

hazards.

Eyes: Safety glasses or goggles recommended.
