Fitting isotop when cold...

antonio buffa · Feb 9, 2019

Morning
Just bought the Isotop a couple of days ago but just realised reading fitting instructions that one of the steps ( gluing process) requires ambient temperature above 18 deg Celsius...! Something we are not going to get for a while here in UK
Is there any other way to fit it ?
Not the cleverest design for fitting given the climate in most northern countries
Thanks

turn on your heater

Mmmm.....
Not sure that equates to an ambient temperature of 18C, I doubt the ali profile will heat to that degree...
Thanks anyways

Minor update on Isotop install: done part 1 of it, i.e. glued velcrotape and now waiting the suggested 48 hours.
Just to share with others that latest instructions from Brandrup seem to omit the two black Velcro tabs in the corner ( as detailed in Motacyclist very useful re-hashed pics ) instructing instead to tuck the fabric under ( over...? ) the ceiling lining
Thanks again to everybody
