DETAIL DRAWINGS

The detail drawings presented here are suggestions to be used for information only. Their correctness and
applicability must be reviewed based on the particular situation.
FACADE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION

Wall elements are usually mounted vertically, but horizontal installation does not present any problems. For hori-
zontal installations, mount the elements from bottom to top. Make sure to arrange the element joints such that the
elements form a water-repellent, downward facing ‚drip nose‘. On the vertical joints, the support bearings are sealed
with extra pilaster strips or moulded components to seal off the joint insulation. This also protects the cut edges and
keeps the foam core out of sight. Do not forget the sealing strip on the outer edges between the element and the
substructure. This applies to all of the edge zones and to sealing the existing butt joint for the element joints on the
support bearings.
Exactly like the roof elements, the panels are placed either by hand or with a crane jib. To avoid damaging the coa-
ting, lift the elements carefully from the stack. To prevent the elements from bending or sagging, transport them in an
upright, vertical position.

SEALING THE ELEMENT JOINT

Pay special attention when sealing the individual element joints at the ends or the connecting edges at the facade and
roof. Because the contact sealing strip between panel and support only seals their contact surfaces, the ends of the
element longitudinal joint must be sealed on the exterior side.
Depending on the application and its particulars, various materials can be used for this seal, e.g. PU foam or sealing
tape. This seal is especially important on the ridge or the eaves to prevent the effects of ice, water and wind and on
the facade as a moisture and vapour barrier.

BUTT JOINTS IN THE ROOF

Where possible, avoid butt joints on the roof by using the full length of the roof
elements.
If a butt joint cannot be avoided, the ridge side elements must overlap the eave side
elements (depending on the weathering direction) by at least 200 mm. To make this
easier, make a notch in the underside of the element (can be ordered or cut it at on
site). Remove the foam core above the butt joint overlap to ensure a clean fit.

MOUNTING SEQUENCE FOR

BUTT JOINTS

To prevent installation problems, stick to this bottom to top

mounting sequence. Do not begin with the bottom row parallel
to the eaves.

Starting the butt joint overlapping sequence from the bottom

will inevitably lead to problems. To guarantee that the roof is
watertight, proper mounting procedure must be followed. If not,
larger tolerances and leakage will result.

SEALING BUTT JOINTS

A butt joint requires at least 40 mm on both sides (a total contact surface of 80 mm).
To guarantee that the butt joint is watertight, sealing tape must be placed on both sides between the element and the support. In
addition, place more sealing tape between the abutting elements near the foam core. This is necessary so that the insulation is not
affected and thermal bridges are avoided. Lay two additional sealing tapes under the overlap to seal it.
Finally, secure the butt joint with the proper screws and caps, clamp it and seal it.

EAVES CONSTRUCTION

Carry out the gutter construction according to drawing so that the elements are always placed on a flat, even sur-
face.
Exactly as in the ridge area, the elements here must be sealed off from the interior space. In this case, the roof and
the facade elements must be sealed off, especially the element joints, the eaves flashing, the gutter bracket or drainage
bracket and the substructure.
To ensure that water drains properly even in strong wind and that the element cut surfaces are covered with foam
core, mount flashing at the eaves edge.
NOTE: If using mineral fibre wool, make sure that the material is cut back where necessary.

NOTE REGARDING MOULDED COMPONENTS

Depending on the design standard, the longitudinal overlaps of the moulded components are sealed and come with
splice plates. In addition, allow for elongation depending on the type and length of the material.

ROOFS

During installation, in horizontal areas, always use foam to create the seal between ridge and wall, and sometimes eaves and wall. If
you use mineral fibre wool, you must also use element joint overlapping for additional wind proofing.

WALLS

For horizontal and vertical installations, the element abutment joints at the walls must be sealed as for the roof. Because foaming
is difficult in vertical situations, use silicone or sealing tape inlays. To avoid heat loss, the resulting joints on the supports must be
insulated. Finally, mount moulded sheets or facing to protect the insulation and to cover the foam core or cut edges.

ROOF LIGHTS

To avoid extra installation work later, plan carefully for ducts for ventilation, lighting and smoke exhaust. The easiest
way is to use roof lights that are commercially available and to mount these such that they either penetrate the ridge
or are positioned at a right angle (from the ridge to the eaves). These lights have been used for years in hall construc-
tion installation poses no problems. Complete all connections and attachments as described in the sections on ridge
and verge construction.
These roof lights require an interior bearing purlin or sash with enough bearing surface to attach the lights and the
insulation provided by the customer. The roof lights must be sealed on the interior and exterior sides with sealing
tape, joint insulation or PU foam and custom-fitted moulded sheets.

INSTALLING ROOF LIGHTS (SEE DP ROOF LIGHTS)

The roof lights that match the roof panels have a double skin design. The maximum purlin spacing of 1.5 m must be
taken into consideration in the planning stage. Due to element panel tolerances and fitting accuracy, the panels must
be installed individually in the roof surface or between the composite elements. As with the butt joints, install the ele-
ments continuously. Affix them to the purlins through the foam core and seal them as in the section on butt joints. For
longitudinal joints, place sealing tape on both sides and secure the overlapping at least every 500 mm. Avoid installing
several light elements next to each other.

ROOF PENETRATIONS

Position roof penetrations right next to the ridge or eaves to ensure that
they can be sealed properly. Follow proper mounting procedure and seal
them with the most up-to-date sealing technology. Depending on their
size, larger roof penetrations must have individual support, and depending
on specifications, an individual, two-part interior or exterior crown with
the necessary insulation and covering may be required. To avoid leakage,
additional moulded sheets should conduct water from behind the flashing
to the high, lateral trapezoidal ribs that run across the length.

PIPE PENETRATIONS

Small pipe penetrations can be sealed with collars fit to the profile. Use a
stainless steel collar to improve this seal.
The opening should be sealed and insulated on both the interior and exterior
sides. Install an additional collar as well.
