Alupanel Internal Fixing System

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Alupanel is an aluminum composite panel used for decorative purposes in both interior and exterior applications. It is known for its rigidity, color variety, ease of cleaning, and resistance to moisture and chemicals, making it suitable for various environments including industrial facilities, offices, and bathrooms. Alupanel is environmentally safe and can be used in residential settings.

Specifications
The standard Alupanel product is 3mm thick with 0.3mm aluminum layers and a polyester finish. Depending on project needs, 2mm and 4mm thick panels are also available. The composite structure allows for easy fabrication, requiring minimal equipment such as a hand circular saw and router.

Fixing Systems
Several fixing techniques are available for Alupanel, including:

Frame Systems: Wooden bars and aluminum profiles are common materials. Aluminum profiles offer easier installation and durability.
Fixing Methods: Panels can be attached using rivets, screws, glue, or Velcro. Clip-in and push-in systems utilize special profile configurations.

For wet areas, proper hydro-insulation with waterproof membranes and sealants is necessary.

Installation Procedure
The installation process involves:

Inspecting the room and selecting a fixing technique.
Measuring and drawing detailed plans.
Preparing the wall, especially in wet areas, with water repellents and membranes.
Fixing wall profiles with anchor bolts or screws, ensuring even spacing and right angles.
Applying sealant where panels meet the frame.
Cutting and fixing panels, considering temperature deflection and installation direction.
Adding additional frame profiles if needed.
Applying sealant between panels and removing excess.
Removing protective film from panels.

Fixing Systems

Lay-On System: Uses glue, screws, or rivets. Pre-drilling is necessary for rivets and screws.
Velcro System: Allows easy panel removal, suitable for areas requiring frequent access.
Push-In System: Fixes panels without additional elements, using sealant in profile channels.
Clip-In System: Requires precise installation of profiles and allows easy panel removal.
Wooden Frame System: Uses treated wooden bars with water-proof tapes for insulation.

Profiles Specification
Aluminum profiles are made from alloy 6061T6, with a standard length of 2.5m. Custom lengths are available upon request. Various profiles are specified for different fixing systems.

ALUPANEL The clip-in system demands that Alupanel should be routed and bendedmaking shelves of 20mm from each vertical side of the panel. In this system, fixing profiles should be installed very precisely so that panel comes strictly into its place. liin iin ste ne of the advantages of clip-in system is that separate panels can beeasily removed after installation. If easy removal is not necessary it is recommended that sealant should be applied inside of the clip-in profile before inserting the panels. This will give additional moisture insulation to the system and provide tighter fixing. ALUPANE...
