Standard fixing methods for GKD-meshes at facade and wall claddings

Product catalog summary

Overview: This document outlines the standard fixing methods for GKD-meshes used in facade and wall claddings. It categorizes different mesh types and their corresponding fixing methods, highlighting the compatibility and limitations of each method.

Mesh Types and Fixing Methods:

Meshclass 1a (Cable Meshes - Cables in Groups): Includes Futura 3110, Futura 240, Lamelle, Lago, Sambesi, and Tigris. These meshes primarily use top-bottom fixing with inserted roundbars and eyebolts, and intermediate fixing with roundbars and moveable brackets.
Meshclass 1b (Omega Type): Includes Omega 1520, Tatami, and other Omega types. These meshes utilize a variety of fixing methods including cables pressed to a loop and Fusiomesh angles.
Meshclass 2 (Cable Meshes - Single Cables): Includes Baltic, Kiwi, Mandarin, and Ocean/Ocean light. These meshes are fixed using intermediate methods like tensioning cables and fixing wires.
Meshclass 3 (Twisted Mesh): Includes Tigris 25x100-twist and Futura 40x120-twist. These meshes are fixed using intermediate methods similar to meshclass 1a.
Meshclass 4 (MM/IM): Includes Mediamesh and Illumesh. These meshes use a combination of top-bottom and intermediate fixing methods.
Meshclass 5a (Spiral Mesh Stainless Steel): Includes Escale and Licorne variations. These meshes primarily use intermediate fixing methods with clevis and tensioning cables.
Meshclass 5b (Spiral Mesh Aluminum): Similar to 5a but made of aluminum, using the same fixing methods.

Key Fixing Methods:

Top-Bottom Fixing: Utilizes inserted roundbars, eyebolts, and cables pressed to loops.
Intermediate Fixing: Employs roundbars, moveable brackets, tubes behind the mesh, and tensioning cables.

Remarks: Some meshes have low resistance against wind loads, and certain fixing methods are only applicable to specific mesh types. Stock-standard meshes are readily available, while non-stock standard meshes require calculation and production based on final dimensions.
