Alupanel XT L2 Fixing Systems

Product catalog summary

Introduction to ALUPANEL XT Fixing Systems
ALUPANEL XT is an aluminum composite panel used in various applications, particularly in external wall construction. The document outlines the L2 Light Fixing System, emphasizing the Rainscreen Principle, which offers thermal efficiency and protection against moisture and solar radiation.

Rainscreen Principle
The Rainscreen facade is a ventilated system that protects building structures from moisture and solar radiation. It allows the facade to "breathe," optimizing interior climate conditions and reducing structural decay by eliminating condensation risks. This system enhances insulation performance and facilitates the quick removal of rainwater and moisture.

L2 System Components
The system includes various components such as Carrier T-shaped profiles, Wall Brackets, Bracket Insulators, and Enforcing Washers. These elements are available in different sizes to accommodate various construction needs.

Assembly on Solid Walls
The assembly process involves laying out the wall, defining axes, and placing wall brackets. The document provides a step-by-step guide for drilling holes, setting anchors, and installing carriers and profiles. It emphasizes the importance of allowing for thermal expansion and maintaining gaps between panels.

Fixing of Insulation
Insulation boards, typically mineral wool, are fixed using Mushroom nails, with a minimum of five nails per board. The document specifies board dimensions and installation techniques for corners and other sections.

Detailed Section Views
The document includes detailed views of various sections such as horizontal and vertical sections, base joints, head joints, and corner joints. Each section lists the components involved, such as walls, anchors, insulation, carriers, and rivets.
