Both materials have been tested according to applicable European legislation, thereby complying the legislative requirements for their classification.
The speed depends on the type of model used.
- Panellised Models: The square-meter speed by installers is around 14 square metres per day.
Individual models with joints: The square metres applied by installers is between 7 and 8 square metres per day.
