Joints

The 20mm reveal joints can be left open or alternatively can be closed from the inside if desired. The outside elZinc® skin wraps around the edges and laps back onto the inside skin, where the two sheets are riveted together, producing a fail-safe fixing method of the panels to the supporting structure.

• Elements number/m2: 9.
• Approx. weight/m2 (in 0,7 mm): 7,3 kg
• Dimensions: 400 x 400mm (parallel edges) / 512mm x 555mm (height x width).
• Piece nº/box: 24

Installation

The panels are installed on a bespoke point fixing system, specially designed to make the most of the extreme rigidity of the panel, eliminating the need for metal rails and reducing costs as a consequence. The fixing system is fully adjustable in three directions, facilitating perfect alignment of the panels. Its design also compensates for the thermal expansion and contraction of the panels. The system also allows for panel replacement without having to disturb adjoining panels, including corners.

Panel Fabrication

Fabrication of the panels is carried out by standard CNC milling machines and a specially modified edging machine. This can be done either to order by elZinc® or by the cladding contractor.

Certification

The entire system (panel + fixing system) is certified under the European Technical Assessment, part of the European Commission. The product has European Assessment Document (EAD) number ETA 16/0415 OF 23/05/2016. EAD’s in the UK are recognized by BBA as being equivalent to BBA certificates
