46 KerAion Quadro

Fastening KerAion Quadro with invisible fastening(clasps / bearing profile)

The technically sophisticated system Quadro is an ideal solutionfor new buildings and renovation projects if an attractive facade design is in demand. With the system Quadro, facade design panels can be fixed on the substructure very precisely and invisibly. Essential system advantages •Excellent look of the facade thanks to a particularly uniformjoint structure•No visible fastening means •Applicable up to the size of 120 x 120 cm •Great design scope thanks to a wide variety of sizes and colours•All surfaces of the facade panels with Hydrotect coating •Practical substructure systems •Noweakening of the facade panels by undercut anchors •Safety tapes applied in-plant prevent larger pieces fromfalling down after the destruction of panels•General approval of the supervising authority by the“Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik” (German Institute for Structural Engineering), Berlin:No. Z-33.1-21 Fastening with clasps No. Z-33.1-27 Fastening with bearing profiles System description The system Quadro is characterized by special Quadro fasteningpoints sinter-fused on the reverse side of the ceramic facade pan- els. They serve for the invisible connection of the facade panels to the substructure. This Quadro fastening is a ceramic composite element with an integral stainless steel screw, which is sinter- fused on the reverse side of the facade panel in a special firing process. The stainless steel screw with a self-locking stainless steel nut permits the precise connection of the facade panel to the substructure, and its exact subsequent adjustment. The result is a particularly uniform joint structure. The grid sizes of 60 x 60 cm and 60 x 90 cm are fixed on the aluminium substructure by means of clasps. Larger panels up to the size of 120 x 120 cm are safely fixed by means of continuous bearing profiles.
KerAion Important: The use of silicone caoutchoucs must be absolutely avoided, because silicone fluids segregate and effect sticky surfaces on which dirt adheres. Therefore, only use the system components mentioned (foamed piece, EPDM rubber profile, neoprene rub- ber washer) and pointing, bonding and sealing materials recommended by us. We will be pleased to inform you in detail. The usual final cleaning after completion of the construction works is still required.
