Adhesive Fastening for Nixalite® Strips
Nixalite recommends using the supplied mechanical mounting hardware whenever and wherever possible. If the surface conditions do not allow the use of the supplied mounting hardware, an adhesive installation can be done.
Why? Adhesives can not be considered permanent. All adhesives, for one reason or another, will eventually deteriorate and fail. Mechanical fasteners (especially the hardware supplied
at no charge with the Nixalite) will securely hold the Nixalite strips as long as the installation surface remains in good shape.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: read, understand and follow the adhesive manufacturer’s printed information
regarding surface restrictions (some adhesives can melt or damage
certain materials), surface preparation and application instructions.
Adhesive
Fastening Options
Nixalite offers two methods of fastening the Nixalite strips with adhesive.
 |
Glue Clips and Adhesive
If adhesive must be used, this is the method we recommend. The Glue Clips allow for Nixalite strip removal and re-installation without damaging the adhesive bond, the strip or the installation surface.

document will help you determine how many Glue Clips are needed, how far apart they are spaced and how to install them. If you have any questions, please

Non-removable direct-to-surface adhesion
This is not recommended, but is possible if necessary. This method fastens the Nixalite strips directly to the surface. The Nixalite can not be removed without damaging the strips.Click on the link below to download the illustrated Non-removable
method. Please remember that this IS NOT the recommended method of
application. If you have any questions, please
