Bond self-adhesive decorative panels
Our self-adhesive design panels, marked with the abbreviation “SA”, are equipped with a strong adhesive layer on the back of the decorative panel – made of high-quality acrylates or synthetic rubber – and can therefore be attached quickly and easily to non-absorbent surfaces. The self-adhesive design panels are glued directly to the substrate without additional glue, allowing for an expansion joint.

Suitable substrates for self-adhesive decorative panels
The self-adhesive panels are suitable for non-absorbent surfaces such as coated MDF/chipboard, glass, metal, plastic, etc.
Tip: Identify non-absorbent surfaces
You can recognize non-absorbent substrates by dripping a drop of water onto the surface – if this does not sink in but remains on the surface, it is a non-absorbent substrate.
The self-adhesive equipment is not suitable for ceiling applications. Alternative processing options are available upon request.
Left: absorbent substrates & right: non-absorbent substrates
Prepare the substrate:
The substrate must be dry, smooth, free of loose parts, dust, dirt, grease, wax and silicone. Never mount SIBU DESIGN panels on uneven surfaces, as this may result in a loss of visual quality.
To achieve maximum adhesion, non-absorbent surfaces must always be cleaned with alcohol (ethanol, isopropyl alcohol).
Retain an expansion joint:
When bonding self-adhesive design panels (SA), an expansion gap of approx. 2 – 3 mm must always be maintained at the panel edges!
If the ambient temperature is high or the temperature fluctuates sharply, the expansion joint should be enlarged or a smaller panel format should be selected.

Assembly
- In the case of self-adhesive design panels (SA), remove the adhesive cover step by step, avoiding contact with the adhesive surface and press as firmly as possible onto the subsurface.
- Absolutely avoid the formation of bubbles (air pockets).
- For large areas, it is best to use a medium-hard rubber hand roller with a width of approx. 170 mm.
The final adhesion is reached after 24 hours at room temperature.
Good to know:
Avoid the formation of bubbles
The formation of bubbles and air pockets must be avoided at all costs. Use a medium-hard rubber hand roller!
Retain an expansion joint!
In general, an expansion joint of approx. 2-3 mm must be maintained at the board edges.
Storage
Self-adhesive design panels should be processed within 12 months.
Adhesive force
The final adhesion is reached after 24 hours at room temperature.
