Visible Fixing

Attachment methods with rivets

Fixing the cladding with rivets enables fast and permanent installation of facade cladding. The
cladding material is attached at flexible and fixed points to absorb thermal expansion and
contraction in the materials used.

Attachment methods with anchoring clips

Fixing facade elements with anchoring clips is especially suited for ceramic and terracotta facade
elements. The anchoring clips are available in aluminium and stainless steel and can be made to
match the colour of the facade elements.

Concealed Fixing

Attaching cladding panels with structural bonding

Using a structural bonding (adhesives) system to attach facade cladding is an economical, concealed
and ‘installer friendly’ method of installing facade cladding. The cladding is attached to the
adequately pre-treated supporting rails by using a permanently elastic adhesive and a double-sided
adhesive installation tape.

Attachment methods for undercut anchors

Facade cladding can also be attached mechanically and can be concealed using undercut anchors.
The backs of the cladding elements are provided with cleats with special bolts that are inserted into
the undercut hole and fixed by tightening the screws. Each cladding element must be fastened with
at least four individual anchors.

Attachment methods for mounting facade cladding elements

Fixing methods involving mounting facade cladding elements have proved to be an excellent choice
for effective installation. Composite boards are especially well suited for this kind of installation. The
edge-milling technique is applied to process composite boards into cassettes. These are then
mounted onto the fixing system and secured.

Laminate Construction

Laminate is hard surface flooring sold in blocks, planks and squares that provide the look of wood,
stone and tile usually at a lower cost and with easier maintenance.

Direct Pressure

A direct-pressure manufacturing process fuses four layers into one extremely hard surface. The four
layers are:

Back layer - The back is reinforced with melamine for structural stability and moisture resistance.

Fiberboard core - Ultra dense core board provides impact resistance and stability. It also features an
edge sealing treatment that provides even further structural stability.

Decorative layer - Providing the floor's beauty, the decorative layer is actually a highly detailed
photograph that gives the laminate the appearance of wood or tile.

Wear layer - The melamine wear layer is a tough, clear finish reinforced with aluminum oxide, one of
the hardest mineral compounds known to man, to resist staining, fading, surface moisture, and
wear.

The resulting floor is a technological breakthrough. There's no staining, no fading, and no wear
through.

High Pressure

High-pressure laminate construction ensures that your flooring maintains its beauty. High-pressure
laminate provides a well balanced & stable floor with chip-resistant edges and superior impact
resistance.

High Pressure Laminate (HPL) is manufactured at 1400 PSI of pressure. In comparison, Direct
Pressure Laminate (DPL) is manufactured at 300-500 PSI. Even though both laminate types are made
of the same basic materials, the pressure used in the manufacturing process helps determine both
hardness and performance. HPL Advantages:

Superior wear resistance – fewer scuffs and scratches

Superior static load capacity – no dimpling

Superior impact resistance – no denting

Superior design clarity – higher sheen levels

High in-carton product integrity – less damage in handling, less damage during installation, no
chipped corners

High Pressure Laminate HPL

HPL - HIGH PRESSURE LAMINATES comprise of top-quality materials with excellent technical
properties. High Pressure Laminates designed for both horizontal and vertical applications where
appearance, durability, resistance to stains and can withstand heat up to 275°F (135°C) for short
periods of time. They consist of cellulose selected papers, impregnated with resin and produced
under heat and high pressure.
Exterior Grade high pressure laminate is made of layers of kraft paper impregnated with phenolic
resin and bonded by heat and pressure. The core and exterior surface is all one piece.

Advantages

1.It is graffiti resistant.

2.It is fire resistant.

3.It is impact resistant.

4.It does not corrode and is not corrosive.

5.It will not delaminate.

6.It is splinter-proof.

7.It is easy to work with and can be cut in the field.

8.It is easy to clean.

9.It is termite-proof.

10. It is anti-static

MEG (MATERIAL EXTERIOR GRADE) – An exterior self-supporting compact grade laminate available
from 2mm thickness upwards. Available in selection of plain colours, woodgrains, metallics and
concrete finishes

It is entirely made up of layers of phenolic resin-impregnated cellulose fibres with one or more
decorative surface layers of cellulose fibres impregnated with thermosetting resins.

The manufacturing process involves the combined application of heat (150 °C) and high pressure

(9 MPa) in multi-daylight presses in which resin polycondensation takes place. One or both sides can

be decorative.
