The imi-beton facade panel is a high-quality board material based on basalt rock. The board consists of a highly compressed 8 mm thick rock wool support board and an approx. 1 mm thick mineral imi-beton coating. The product combines the robust properties of stone and the easy workability of wood. Where other board materials reach their limits, imi-beton facade panels offer an excellent solution. Easy and fast to process, sustainable and appealing in design. imi-beton facade panels can be used in new construction as well as for renovation projects • Around the roof as gable or eave cladding, fascia...

Storage and transport Storage • imi-beton facade panels are a decorative product. Therefore, always handle the boards with care! • Store the board material in flat, dry, frost-free and protected conditions. • Store on flat pallets and place the pallets on a level foundation. • Make sure that the board material does not have direct contact with the floor. • Never stack more than two pallets on top of each other! • During storage the boards are exposed to different conditions than in use due to moisture and night-time cooling. Make sure that the boards are free of moisture and condensation before...

Board processing imi-beton facade panel base material (high pressure stone wool) is a safe product to work with. Produced from basalt, a natural and sustainable volcanic stone. High pressure stone wool is one of the most extensively researched and tested building materials. Standard tools can be used for sawing imi-beton facade panels or making cut-outs in the boards. In general the boards should be sawn with the decorative side facing upwards. With a handheld circular saw whose base is guided along the top of the board, it is usefull to turn the board so that the decorative side faces downwards....

• The surface is impregnated factory-made. • The facade boards do not require any cleaning. • The surface is subject to a natural aging process. • However if cleaning is desired, the surface can be cleaned with water and a soft broom/ brush and/or sponge. Abrasives should be avoided. The imi-beton facade panels can be curved and twisted into almost any desired shape, thus expanding your design scope. The following values only apply to the Durable 9 mm version. For other variants such as Xtreme, please contact our technical department. Board length (Curve, mm) * Specification of mounting distances...

Corner solutions Bonding instructions SURFACE DESIGN Corner profiles A perfect result is achieved with a corner solution using a corner profile. The specialized trade offers corner profiles in many variants. Edge cover paint Treating the sides with the appropriate opaque paint is another option. Mitered A challenge for the specialist is a corner solution where the board edges are mitred. Bonding to aluminium or wooden substructure For a non-visible fixing, the manufacturer of the carrier board has developed a fire-safe, EU-certified adhesive system called Tack-S in cooperation with Bostik. The...

This chapter deals with the fastening guidelines and the maximum distances between fastening points for imi-beton facade panels on wooden or aluminium substructures. The table lists the maximum distances between fastening points for a vertical wooden or aluminium substructure according to the European technical assessment ETA-18/0448 and ETA 18/0449. When used in a specific project, individual calculations may have to be made. When determining the mounting distances, the following must be taken into account in • Wind load - Determination by means of wind zone - Determination by means of building...

Fixing distances SURFACE DESIGN The tables (pages 10 and 11) show examples of the most frequently occurring situations. For the correct interpretation of the tables, the wind zones in Germany according to DIN EN 1991-1-4/NA:2010-12 are shown in the following graphic.

Fixing distancesDrilling / borehole diameter Germany - Ratio building height / width < 1 - Substructure made of aluminium according to ETA Specification of screws and blind rivets according to ETA. For optical reasons, we recommend adjusting the fixing distance of the edge profile to the distance of the intermediate profile. Drilling / borehole diameter A HSS steel drill is recommended for drilling the screw holes. For fixing according to ETA, please note the following table: When using imi-beton facade panels horizontally, e.g. for ceilings or roof overhangs, the dead load of the imi-beton facade...

DetailsFixing The fastening systems are also part of a certification system. The calculated values were determined using the fasteners specified in the European approval. It is therefore important to meet these specifications. Specifications of fasteners indicated in the detailed drawings as "Torx screw according to specification" and "Blind rivets according to specification": The fixings suitable for the imi-beton facade panel correspond to those used for the Rock-panel boards. These fixings are listed in the ETA certificate. 1a. Mechanical fixing and joint tapes Q imi-beton facade panel 9 mm...
