Ventilated façade/ Rivet fixing system

- Laminam porcelain stoneware slab

Exterior cladding made with laminate porcelain obtained by wet grinding of clayish raw materials, granite and metamorphic, feldspar-containing rocks and ceramic pigments. Compacted by a special shaping in a compactor and sintering at 1200°C, with hybrid (gas/electric) firing. With single gauge square edge and with a structural reinforcement made of fibreglass applied using a controlled industrial process (fibreglass mat applied to the back). Nominal thickness …/….

Size: 1000x3000mm/ 1620x3240mm or sub-formats.

Laminam SpA will provide the designer and the Works Supervision with the graphics and the resistance design values of the slab related to the system adopted.

- Supply and installation of the sub-structure

- Measurements, sizing, executive design with processing of the parts list of quantities, sizes and drilling layouts.

- Sub-structure made of aluminium or steel profiles, of suitable shape and section, suitably sized following a structural calculation. The profiles must be drilled in correspondence with the holes in the slabs and fixed to the support using L-shaped brackets in aluminium or steel, natural or painted on request. These brackets retain the profiles, taking into consideration the compensation for the thermal expansions by means of fixed and sliding anchor points. Wall fixing anchors suitably sized and suitable for the type of support itself.

- Mechanical fixing using rivets with a round convex head in stainless steel, copper or aluminium with an AISI 304 stainless steel or aluminium nail. An EPDM rubber or equivalent material washer is placed between the slab and the rivet head in order to avoid tensions between the slab and the rivet. Black compressible neoprene or equivalent material adhesive tape is applied onto the vertical sub-structure in correspondence with the holes for anti-vibration purposes. The horizontal centre distance between the holes, and consequently of the sub-structure, must be determined in accordance with the installation site, the height of the building and the wind pressure. Minimum joint between the slabs 5 mm.

- Supply of intrados in Laminam slabs.

- Installation of the sub-structure and Laminam slabs, including labour, equipment, fixing elements (anchors, screws, etc.), cutting of the slabs.
