1. AltroFix™ W139 fully bonded system (permanent / hygienic)
   AltroFix™ W157 fully bonded system (permanent / hygienic)
2. Removable hook and loop system such as Velcro (temporary/non-hygienic)
3. Using a 1 part MS polymer adhesive applied in a grid pattern (permanent/non-hygienic)

Jointing

The corners of Altro Whiterock Imagination Wall cannot be thermoformed, in these circumstances the internal corners can be scribed and butted into the corner and sealed with silicone sealant.

Cleaning

Wipe clean with a soft cloth after every use, taking care to remove all pen residue that can accumulate along trim edge. Regular cleaning using a soft cloth and a suitably diluted mild detergent is all that is normally required.
