Kalzip FC rainscreen system Technical information Installation and fixing The Kalzip FC rainscreen system has been designed for horizontal installation and for use with all common substructures. The panels are fixed into either proprietary individual clips or continuous modular rails which feature integrated plastic inlays that lock the panels securely into place. The individual mono-click brackets can also be used for creating special details. The modular click rail is typically supplied in three to four metre lengths. This is not only for practical handling reasons but also where a break in the façade sub-construction is required to allow expansion between floors. A specially designed setting out tool is available to ensure the correct spacing and alignment between adjacent rails. The same tool can be adjusted to accommodate all standard profile cover widths. The system components have been optimised to enable the system to be adjusted and aligned solely via the substructure. Fully integrated corner panels add a subtle yet harmonious detail to the building geometry and enhance the overall aesthetics of the façade. Installation from the bottom upwards Installation from the top downwards Profile options and dimensions Replacing a damaged panel Panel suffers accidental or deliberate damage 04 Damaged panel is cut along its length Lower part of damaged panel is pulled down and removed Upper panel is unclicked. Top part of the damaged panel is unhooked Materials and finishes: FC rainscreen panels are available in stucco embossed aluminium EN AW 6025 (AIMg2.5SiMnCu) and painted aluminium EN AW 3004 (AIMn1Mg1) or EN AW 3005 (AIMn1Mg0.5) The profiles are available as standard in a range of RAL / PVDF colours. Other surface finishes are available on request including stucco-embossed, AluPlusPatina, micro-ribbed, perforated and with integrated recessed seams. Protective foil: All material is provided with protective film. Please check with our Technical Services Department for further information. Replacement panel is hooked on Panels are clicked into place to finish repair
Flexible for all sub-structures in new build or refurbishment The Kalzip FC rainscreen system is suitable for all common sub-constructions. Adjustment of the panels takes place solely via the sub-construction. The Kalzip FC rainscreen panels can therefore be installed quickly and easily without the need for additional alignment. The following systems are recommended: 1. Structurally effective modular click rail SEL-40 on L-section (figure 1a) or SE on U-section wall bracket (figure 1b) The advantage of these sub-constructions are that they require very few compo nents. Quick and economical installation is there fore possible. Installation experi en ce is an essential requirement here as the components need to be aligned in several directions at the same time. figure 4 figure 1a 2. Adjustable aluminium sub-construction pre-punched mono-click brackets (figure 2) The advantage of this sub-construction is that it uses conventional systems, onto which mono-click brackets can be fixed in modular positions. This sub-construction is recom mended e.g. when there is a change in panel cover width within the façade. figure 1b figure 2 figure 3 3. Adjustable aluminium sub-construction installed hori zon tally with structurally effective modular click rail (figures 4 and 5) In this case, there is a standard sub-construction (figure 4) which is installed horizontally. The wall brackets may require additional reinforcement (figure 5). This sub-construction can be used in projects where horizontal members are more economical for structural reasons, e.g. in the case of ribbon windows. The structurally effective modular click rail enables the arrangement of the sub-construction to take place independently from panel alignment and is therefore the simplest installation solution. figure 5 figure 6 Kalzip FC rainscreen system Adjustable aluminium subconstruction with modular click rail (figure 3) This option uses commercially available systems without additional modifications. The advantage is economical and simple installation (alignment takes place in two steps) The structurally non-effective modular click rail must be fixed to the vertical L-section and at every panel support. 4. Structurally effective modular click rail on steel cassettes (figures 6 and 7) This design is often used in industrial buildings. The structurally effective modular click rail should be used to accommodate different cover widths of the panels and cassettes (figure 6). Alternatively for higher thermal performance requirements a continuously insulated steel cassette system can be used as the backing wall (figure 7). When installing the modular click rail on this system, please observe the steel cassette manu facturer’s installation recommendations to achieve a thermal break. figure 7 05
