Ventilated façade/ Frame 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 and sizes.

- Sub-structure of aluminium or steel profiles, of suitable shape and section, with mechanical attachments for anchoring to the cell. The profiles are fixed to the support using L-shaped brackets in aluminium or steel, natural or painted on request. These brackets retain the profiles, allowing 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.

- Exterior cladding in panels obtained by assembling slabs onto frames in the workshop. The structural bonding between the slab and the frame is achieved using structural adhesive (silicone, polyurethane or MS polymer) and, if necessary, supplemented by double-sided tape. Thickness of the silicone bead and adhesive application protocol are specified by the manufacturer. Each frame consists of box-section or general-section aluminium profiles, assembled together by means of square brackets, angle irons or dedicated systems. Any reinforcement profiles may be applied to the back of the slab for bracing purposes. Fixing to the vertical profiles by means of fixed mechanical hangers, screws, rivets or another designed and checked system. The horizontal centre distance of the sub-structure must be determined in accordance with the installation site, the height of the building and the wind pressure. A profile of the sub-structure must be envisaged for every vertical profile of the cell. 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.
