SmartSlat® Slat Maintenance Guide

SmartSlat® is the smart alternative to timber or other metal slats; used for construction of screens, fences, sunshades, and the like SmartSlat® is easy to install and has a fixing system in which the fasteners are rendered invisible in the final application.
<h2?Installation PrecautionsSmartSlat® slats should not be installed within 1 kilometre of the ocean or other saltwater or marine influence.

SmartSlat® should be kept dry before installation. In the event that water penetrates the packing materials prior to installation the slats should be unwrapped and separated so that water is not trapped between the individual slats. Prolonged periods of wet storage can create corrosive conditions that do not occur in natural weathering.

SmartSlat® should not be fixed with stainless steel fasteners. We recommend fasteners that conform to Table 2.1, Class 3 of Australian Standard 3566.

Any swarf, steel filings, or metal drillings, whilst unlikely to occur, should be swept out of the inner channel after fixing the inner slat to supports.

In Use

SmartSlat® should not be installed where they can be splashed with chlorinated or salty pool water or with other corrosive substances. Avoid contact with weedicides or pesticides, as these may be acidic or corrosive and avoid contact with salty, acidic, or contaminated soil. SmartSlat® should not be fixed with stainless steel fasteners, nor should they come into contact with dissimilar metals such as copper or lead, or water run-off from these metals.

Maintenance

Periodic washing on a regular basisby hosing is recommended. Do not use bore water to wash down the slats.
