During the construction of animal laboratories, the selection and installation of wall materials are of utmost importance. Color steel panels have emerged as the ideal choice for the walls of animal laboratories due to their outstanding fire - resistance, moisture - resistance, antibacterial properties, and ease of cleaning. Guangzhou Cleanroom Construction Co., Ltd., with years of profound accumulation in the purification equipment field, has participated in numerous animal laboratory construction projects and boasts extensive experience in the installation of color steel panels. Today, we're here to share the technical key points of installing color steel panels on the walls of animal laboratories.

Before installation, professional technicians need to accurately measure the dimensions of the laboratory walls. Record in detail the length and height of each wall, as well as the positions of doors and windows. Based on the measurement data, create a scientific and reasonable layout plan for color steel panels. Plan the splicing method and installation sequence of the panels to minimize material waste and improve installation efficiency.

Conduct a strict inspection of the quality of color steel panels. Check whether there are scratches, deformations, or coating peel - offs on the surface of the panels. Meanwhile, verify whether the quality and quantity of supporting connecting parts, sealants, and other materials meet the requirements. Prepare the tools required for installation, such as electric drills, screwdrivers, cutting machines, and spirit levels. Ensure that all tools are in good condition and can be used normally.

The wall sub - base of the animal laboratory must be flat, sturdy, and dry. If the sub - base is uneven, level it with cement mortar. If there are problems such as looseness or hollowing, repair or reconstruct it. Apply a moisture - proof primer to the surface of the treated sub - base to prevent the walls from getting damp, providing a good foundation for the installation of color steel panels.

During installation, start from the corner of the wall. Fix the color steel panels to the wall sub - base using connecting parts. After installing each panel, measure it with a spirit level to ensure that the verticality and horizontality of the panel meet the requirements. Adjacent color steel panels should be spliced tightly. Control the width of the splicing seam to 2 - 3mm and seal it with sealant to prevent dust, microorganisms, and other contaminants from entering the laboratory, ensuring the airtightness and cleanliness of the laboratory. For color steel panels at door and window openings, cut them precisely according to the opening dimensions to ensure that the opening and closing of doors and windows are not affected after installation. Also, seal the edges properly.

At the corners of the animal laboratory, use special inside and outside corner lines for treatment. These corner lines not only enhance the aesthetics of the corners but also improve the strength and airtightness of the corners. During installation, ensure that the corner lines fit tightly with the color steel panels without any gaps, further enhancing the overall effect of the laboratory.

After installation, conduct a comprehensive inspection of the appearance of the color steel panel walls. Check whether the surface of the panels is flat and free of scratches and deformations. Verify whether the splicing seams are uniform and sealed, and whether the inside and outside corner lines are straight. Ensure that the appearance of the walls meets the design requirements and has no obvious defects.

Use methods such as smoke testing or pressure testing to detect the airtightness of the color steel panel walls. Through these tests, ensure that there is no air leakage between the interior of the laboratory and the outside, maintaining a clean environment inside the laboratory and meeting the strict environmental requirements for animal experiments.

Check whether the connection between the color steel panels and the wall sub - base is firm and whether the connecting parts are tightened. Conduct a light - tapping test on the walls to determine whether there is any hollowing, ensuring the firmness and stability of the walls.
