Conclusion
FunderMax offers a high-quality, versatile product for exterior applications, supported by comprehensive technical information and environmental responsibility.
Transport and Handling
Careful handling is required to prevent damage. Panels must be secured against slippage during transport and lifted rather than pushed or pulled.
Storage and Air Conditioning
Panels should be stored horizontally on flat, stable supports in closed rooms under normal climatic conditions to avoid permanent deformation.
Processing of FunderMax Compact Panels
Processing requires hard metal cutting tools, with diamond-tipped tools recommended for longer tool life. Personal protective equipment is necessary due to sharp edges, dust creation, and noise levels.
General Processing Guidelines
Observing the ratio between the number of teeth, cutting speed, and feed rate is crucial. Regular chip removal is necessary to prevent tool damage.
Cutting and Drilling
Sliding table saws and panel splitting machines with scoring units are recommended for cutting. Drilling requires solid hard metal twist or dowel drills.
Façades
Max Exterior panels are classified under various fire safety standards and have specific permits for use. The non-bearing, rear-ventilated facade system offers insulation benefits and protection against condensation.
Rear-Ventilated Facade (VHF) Overview
Enhances vapor diffusion from the interior to the exterior, ensuring moisture removal and maintaining insulation effectiveness.
Protection Features
VHF systems provide rainproof capabilities and noise reduction, contributing to a healthier indoor climate.
Ecological and Economic Benefits
VHF systems reduce CO2 emissions and offer long service life, low maintenance, and resource cycle integration.
Construction Basics
Ensure materials are not exposed to standing water. Panels must dry out, and connections should be stable and flat.
Wooden Substructures
Offer low heat conductivity and expansion rates. Effective moisture protection is crucial.
Constructional Wood Protection
Includes using EPDM strips, roof overhangs, and ensuring proper ventilation to prevent condensation.
Error Avoidance
Attention to detail in wooden substructure construction is vital.
Standards and Guidelines
Adherence to standards such as DIN and ÖNORM is essential for durability and safety.
Design and Installation
Specific installation techniques are required, including fixed and sliding points to accommodate material expansion and contraction.
Installation Specifications for Max Exterior Panels
Fastenings must be non-corrosive, with specific drill hole diameters for sliding and fixed points.
Edge and Fastening Spacings
Edge spacings must be maintained for stability, with joints at least 8 mm wide.
Load Tables
Provide maximum load capacities for single and double span panels under various wind loads.
Construction Details
Include the use of EPDM protective tape and ventilation requirements.
Lap Siding System ME 03
Prefabricated panels for robust facades, with accessories like mounting clips and EPDM bands.
Modulo ME 05 System
A modern façade fastening system with invisible mechanical fasteners, suitable for wooden or aluminum substructures.
Overview
Technical details for the installation of FunderMax exterior panels, focusing on construction details for horizontal and vertical sections.
Corner Construction
Suggests using corner profiles for building corners, with EPDM protective tape for open joints.
Substructure Requirements
The aluminum substructure must comply with national standards and manufacturer specifications.
Fastening Methods
Involves fixed and sliding points to accommodate expansion and shrinkage.
Load and Spacing Tables
Provide load and spacing data for single and double span panels under various wind loads.
Installation Techniques
Panels can be installed using concealed mechanical fastening brackets or gluing systems.
Gluing Systems
An alternative to mechanical fastening, suitable for various applications.
Compliance and Quality Assurance
Installation must be performed by trained specialists, with checks on drill holes and plugs.
Overview
Technical details and installation guidelines for FunderMax exterior panels, focusing on two systems: ME 01 and ME 02.
Specifications
  • ME 01 System: Designed for concealed mechanical fastening using undercut anchors or blind fasteners.
  • ME 02 System: Features a factory-milled fastening groove for 6 mm and 8 mm panels.
Procedures
  • Undercut Anchors: Panels are cut to size and drilled with special tools.
  • Blind Fasteners: Do not require special drill holes and are installed using standard tools.
  • Gluing System: Panels can be glued to aluminum substructures.
Standards and Recommendations
  • Fastenings must be non-corrosive and comply with local building regulations.
  • Drill holes for fixed and sliding points must accommodate panel expansion and contraction.
Key Data from Figures and Tables
  • Table 8: Specifies maximum fastening spacing for different panel thicknesses.
  • Figures: Illustrate details of undercut anchors, blind fasteners, and joint configurations.
Critical Information
  • Ensure all surfaces for gluing are clean, dry, and grease-free.
  • Follow manufacturer guidelines for glue application and curing.
Specifications and Procedures
Max Exterior panels require a stable and flat subconstruction. Connections must be firm, and elastic intermediate spacers allowing tolerance greater than ±0.5 mm should be avoided.
Technical Notes
The substructure must be corrosion-resistant and anchoring elements should withstand local wind loads.
Fastening Details
Rivets should have flexible mouthpieces to allow movement. Screws should not be over-tightened.
Panel Joints and Balcony Design
Joints should be at least 8 mm wide. Fastenings must be non-corrosive.
Balcony and Railing Fastening
Fastening methods vary based on panel thickness and railing height, complying with local building regulations.
Regulatory Compliance
Openings in protective elements must adhere to local regulations to prevent climbing.
Material Description
Max Exterior panels are high-pressure laminates with weather protection, suitable for balconies and similar structures.

Waste disposal Sustainable Production Chips and shavings produced by processing (cutting and milling) are not hazardous to human health. This also means that waste can even be disposed of thermally without the emission of environmental toxins such as hydrochloric acid, organic chlorine compounds or dioxins, assuming modern heating systems. At appropriately high temperatures, and assuming both sufciently long retention of the combustion gas in the combustion space and a sufcient oxygen supply, Max Exterior decomposes into carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water and ash.
