Brighter ideas with aluminium NOVELIS Solid aluminium for facades with fantasy

NOVELIS Pre-painted aluminium for facades with fantasy Whether for renovation or for new projects, it is usually economic considerations that prompt the use of prepainted aluminium for ventilated facades. The material provides a variety of design possibilities, longevity and low operating expenses during the use of the building. As well as weather proofing, the material meets the stringent physical property requirements. NOVELIS Pre-painted aluminium -- 2.0 and 3.0 mm thick Novelis has developed solid pre-painted aluminium products in different thicknesses especially for facade cladding:...

Alloy for wider span-widths flat stress-free high strength ff2®, a product developed especially for facades, is made Even in large surface applications under high stress loads, from a special AlMg3 (5754) alloy; with a thickness of only 2.0 mm. This alloy ensures the same strength as for example in high-rise buildings with extreme wind loads, ff2® is convincing. The material has a low weight conventional AlMg1 (5005) alloys with a thickness of 3.0 mm. This means that the weight of material is reduced Nevertheless, effortlessly the solid aluminium material by a third and that the same span...

Surface quality for longevity and economics Fraunhofer Institute, Dresden UV-RESISTANT COATING The decisive factors for a durable colour effect are colour consistency and surface durability. This is why we coat ff2® and ff3® pre-painted aluminium in a continuous coil coating process. Solid and metallic paints are applied in two or four coats and then permanently stove-enamelled. This process ensures a durable, brilliant colour effect. For high-grade outdoor architectural applications, Novelis uses only PVdF (polyvinylidene fluoride) paints of the highest quality (80/20). As a general...

Colours for modern architecture Metallic shimmer or high-gloss to matt: various solid and metallic colours, copper tones, terracotta and stainless steel effects - we are continuously developing new surfaces for individual aspects in architecture. Special colours are available on request. Museum of Modern Art, South Korea Subway Station, St. Petersburg Office Building, Moscow Children Hospital, Moscow

EASY PROCESSING Whether you prefer panels, cassettes or flat sheets and whatever type of substructure you prefer, ff2®and ff3® are equally well-suited for ventilated and non-ventilated cladding structures. The easy forming properties of ff2® make the material ideal for concave or convex shapes, corners, closures, column casing and other details. Coil-coated aluminium can be processed after coating. Cassettes and panels are produced taking the minimum bending radius and the processing temperature into consideration (see technical data). ff2® and ff3® can be easily drilled, stamped, punched,...

DURABLE NOVELIS PVDF PAINT QUALITY During the outdoor weathering tests of different paint qualities, the following parameters are investigated: 1. Colour retention 2. Gloss retention 3. Chalking behaviour Our Novelis test procedures are far more stringent than the normal ECCA test standards.

Sports arena, Omsk CLEANING PVdF coatings provide an easy to clean surface. In contrast to polyster-coated aluminium cladding, ff2® and ff3® Minor dirt can be cleaned by using environmentally facades are dirt-repellent and require very little main- can normally be removed using special cleaning agents. friendly warm water and neutral detergents.

Installation techniques Apart from conventional fastening techniques for facade cladding, bonding and stud welding (ff3®) are possible installation methods for invisible fastening. FLAT SHEET CASSETTE WITH HOOK-IN-SYSTEM CASSETTE WITH NON-VISIBLE FIXING FLAT SHEET STUD WELDED

ADHESIVE BONDING The lacquer on the reverse side of Novelis facade material is specially designed for bonding. For this reason ff2® and ff3® sheets can be adhesivebonded to the sub-structure without any visible fixings. Reinforcements can easily be bonded into the cassettes. KNHC Deagu H.Q., South Korea Tower, Taiwan STUD WELDING FOR ff3® Stud bolts can be welded to prepainted aluminium for the concealed installation of facade panels. For this purpose, the surfaces of the components, bolts and panels, are melted for a short time (less than one second). The alloy used for ff3® features...

Facade installation The most important requirement is a tension-free installation with fixed and sliding points. The substructure should preferably be made from aluminium instead of wood or steel so that it has the same thermal expansion behaviour as the cladding material itself. Fixed points bear the weight of the material, whereas sliding points accommodate wind loads. This type of installation ensures that thermal expansion can take place as necessary. Another important factor is the difference between the installation temperature and the highest or lowest temperature expected on the...

Fire leaves us cold! Novelis pre-painted aluminium has been certified in Novelis ff2® and ff3® facade products received the highest accordance with the latest EN 13501 non-combustibility standards. Under international building regulations, rating of A1 in the combustibility tests. ff2® and ff3® also obtained convincing results in the only non-combustible materials may be used in buildings categories of smoke development and dripping fires. which are exceeding a certain height (approx. 20 m). This means that ff2® and ff3® can be used on any For public facilities such as nurseries, schools,...
