Multibeam Cladding Rails - Overview Multibeam Cladding Rail Applications - All types of wall cladding - Horizontal or vertically laid cladding - Suitable for use with Multichannel - Bay widths up to 15m Material Specification Hot dip galvanised steel to BS EN 10326:2004 and BS EN 10143:1993 ‘specifications for continuously hot dip zinc/metal coated structural steel strip’. The minimum grade of steel used is S450GD, with Z275 zinc coating, giving an average coating thickness of 0.02mm to each side. Other galvanised coatings may be available. Please contact our Technical Department for...

Spanning Systems Multibeam can be used in all the popular and economic rail cladding systems. The enhanced stiffness of the Multibeam shape makes it ideal for all span dimensions from the very short to the very long with rail bar lengths of 18m or more, making it practical for both handling Sleeves are used to provide continuity at the joints between members and are available in three gauges (see page 82). When joining two sections of different gauges use the heaviest gauge rail to select the sleeve for that joint. Double Span Double span lengths of Multibeam section span across three frame...

Cladding Rail Restraints Multibeam Side rails can be used with all types of modern steel based side wall cladding whether laid vertically or horizontally. - Insulated panels - Twin skin - Firewalls - Rain screens Insulated Panels Two layers of steel bonded to an insulation core, laid vertically when through fixed directly to the side rails, will provide full restraint. The vertical restraint systems shown on page 67 can be used. Where the insulated panel is only through fixed on one edge, trapping an under tongue on the adjacent panel the restraint shown on page 67 should be adopt but...

Restraints - Vertically Laid Cladding Half bay width Restraints for Bays up to 6.1m The single strut system is utilised on buildings with bays up to 6.1m centres with adjustable diagonal tie wire as shown in the diagram. Eaves Beam Maker up Bays up to 3.0m generally do not require vertical support struts. This system is for use with cladding which, when fixed restrains the Multibeam siderail outer flange. * When wall exceeds 10m in height allow one set of diagonal ties for every 9.0m of height. Maximum rail cross centres are 2m (for larger cross centres, contact Kingspan Technical). Max...

Restraints - Horizontally Laid Cladding Cladding Joints at Stanchions Horizontally laid panels require a structure to provide support for the panel self weight and also resist wind pressure and suction loads. The efficient steelwork arrangement shown utilises Multibeam siderails with G140/150 vertical members at intermediate support locations. This typical example also shows vertical restraint provided by standard diagonal tie wires and the connection to the Eaves Beam system.

Cladding Joint Within Span Where cladding is joined within the bay span, a wider flange is required in order to ‘butt’ the panels together. For this detail a G140/150 section is used together with rod diagonals.

Restraints - Firewall Sheeting rails with a minimum thickness of 1.2mm and above may be used for both twin skin cladding and composite panels, providing they are structurally capable of supporting the wall between the column spacings for the normal load case. This assembly of Multibeam side rails is designed to offer lateral support to the cladding assembly which provides the firewall performance of insulation integrity and stability for the periods derived from test or assessment. Periods up to 240mins are possible. To reduce thermally induced stresses caused by expansion of the sheeting...

Case Study Arsenal Football Club Training Store, St. Albans Cladding Rails A new equipment store at Arsenal Football Club’s world class training centre has been completed in style thanks to the specification of over 1,100 metres of Multibeam and nearly 600 metres of Multichannel from Kingspan Structural Products. 71
