\n
\n <\/i>\n What precautions are essential for perfect installation of the sliding counter frame?\n <\/div>\n

It is good practice to follow the instructions attached to the product; in particular, it is advisable to check the alignment, plumb and plane of the counter frame with respect to the supporting surface carefully. In masonry versions, the plastering should be done in two stages: in the first phase, reinforce the side of the case with cement mortar (minimum 20 percent cement) until it covers the wire mesh (about 1 cm); in the second, wait until the plastering has cured (minimum three weeks), even out the plaster to flush with the counter frame. Proceed with the finish rendering. The above steps must be done with the cover trim mounted to the case. All structures should always be architraved. In addition, in the case of the plasterboard versions, it is advisable to anchor the counter frame along the entire perimeter to the load-bearing structure of the wall, and the exclusive use of the screws supplied with the counter frame for attaching the plasterboard slab to it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n <\/i>\n When can the door panel be installed?\n <\/div>\n

In plaster version counter frames, it is advisable to wait for the plaster to cure, about 29- 30 days<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

In the Scrigno Gold Essential counter frame, the doorpost and edging trims have been eliminated by adopting aluminium profiles on which plaster or plasterboard is directly applied, blending with the wall: simply painting the profiles the same as the wall completes the final result.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>
