How can I achieve the best-looking DecoShield installation?
As with any project, careful planning is important. That may mean you will want to do a mock-up of the installation to be sure the installation will present the appearance you are looking for, and to familiarize yourself with installation methods. When cutting DecoShield in the field using a 10″ electric miter saw with an abrasive wheel, or a 32-tooth carbide blade, hold another piece of the same size shield over the shield you are cutting to eliminate chatter. This will provide a more professional finished edge. Keep hands clean and wear gloves to keep the shield clean. Anchor shield clips at a minimum of 24″ spacing between the pipe hangers. Use Wall Flanges at the end of the shield where it meets the wall. The wall flanges are a cosmetic component designed to give a more professional appearance.
