Product catalog summary
General Information
The document discusses CELLON® panels, which are Compact High-Pressure Laminate Panels (HPL) made of 70% cellulose sheets and 30% phenolic resin. These panels are weather-resistant and suitable for external applications like balcony panels. They are pre-cut using laser technology to exact dimensions and coated post-cutting. The panels come in 8 or 10 mm thickness depending on perforation and fixing point distance.

Advantages
CELLON® panels offer unlimited design options with various perforation patterns and colors. They are moisture-resistant, frost-proof, termite-proof, and have excellent lightfastness. The panels are lightweight, have low shrinkage and swelling, and are ready-to-install with drill holes and cut-outs.

Storage Instructions
Panels should not be stored flat or horizontally outside as water can damage the coating. They should be stored upright with dry PU-foam foils between them.

Order Submission
Orders require DWG/DXF files or Cadwork 2D/3D files. Panels must be drawn on a separate layer with a 1:1 scale drawing. Custom patterns must be submitted as CAD drawings with closed contours.

Design Notes
Design dimensions for balustrades are specified, including minimum and maximum distances for edges, drill holes, and gaps. The panels require a structural sub-frame and must comply with regional building regulations.

Fastening and Impact Resistance
Panels are fixed using self-tapping façade screws or rivets. Drill holes must be larger than the screw diameter to allow for expansion. The impact resistance is tested according to ETB guidelines.

Balustrade Details
Details for top-mounted and front-mounted balustrades are provided, including handrail options and corner connections. Drainage must be ensured, and specific configurations are recommended for different setups.

Balustrade Alternatives
Various perforation designs are available for different balustrade setups, with examples provided in the document.

Material: A2 stainless steel Length: 32 mm Nominal Diameter of Screw: 4.8 mm Head Diameter: 16 mm Drive: SW7 The diameter of the drill holes should be designed to be 8 mm on the upper horizontal, on the lower and, if present, be 10 mm on the centre horizontal. The panels are fixed by means of “self-tapping façade screws with hexagonal head and washer”, diameter 4.8 mm, supplied by Bruag. Alternatively, rivets or other screws may be used. In general, it is important that the drill holes are larger in diameter than the screw diameter, so that the panel can expand easily. These must be provided...
