1. General Information and Legal Notice

• Trimo Group holds full copyrights; unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.
• Information is accurate as of the issue date but subject to change; users must verify the latest version on Trimo's website.
• Users are responsible for compliance with local laws and project-specific deviations.
• Delivery conditions follow Trimo's General Conditions of Sale.

2. System Description

• QBISS ONE is an insulated facade system designed for architectural applications.
• Key components include facade panels, sealing tapes, EPDM gaskets, decorative aluminum extrusions, fixing screws, and adjustable substructures.
• The patented sealing system integrates corner gaskets within facade elements for enhanced weatherproofing.

3. Installation Details and Tolerances

• Installation direction must always be specified for all details.
• Substructure tolerance is ±2 mm; adjustable substructures are recommended if tolerances exceed this range.
• Facade elements are attached via profiles after adjacent elements are positioned to ensure alignment.

4. Joint Types and Sealing

• Horizontal and vertical joint details are provided with 1:4 scale illustrations.
• Sealing uses EPDM transversal gaskets, sealing tapes, and decorative aluminum extrusions.
• Longitudinal joints employ square or cube EPDM gaskets depending on joint type.
• Brick system joints require butyl tape and EPDM drip flashing to allow facade element shifting while maintaining sealing.

5. Specific Element Details

5.1 Base Detail

• Includes cladding element holder L profile, element bearers, drip flashing, sealing tape, and anchor bolts.
• EPDM drip flashing prevents rainwater ingress and facilitates drainage; minimum drip flashing length is 15 cm.

5.2 Parapet Detail

• Features parapet cap support profile, EPDM membrane with glue, fixing screws, and sealing tape.
• Sealing is performed at transversal joints; parapet wall cap finishes the detail.

5.3 External Corner Details

• Variants include sharp-edged and curved corner flashings with thermal insulation insertion.
• Use of decorative aluminum extrusions and EPDM gaskets ensures sealing.
• Installation direction can be changed; flashings must be manufactured to site measurements with a minimum 50 mm overlap.
• Final facade element attachment occurs after adjacent elements are installed.

5.4 Internal Corner Detail

• Includes load-bearing fixing plates, sealing tape, mineral wool insulation, EPDM transversal gasket, and decorative aluminum extrusion.
• Longitudinal joints sealed with square EPDM gaskets.
• Installation direction must be specified; adjustable substructure recommended for tolerance deviations.

6. Building Application and Joint Types

• Joint types are categorized by building application areas such as external facade, internal wall, internal ceiling, and external soffit.
• Installation instructions vary depending on joint type combinations (e.g., B-B, BF-BF, F-B).

7. Window Installation Details

• Components include support frames, cladding element holders, mineral wool insulation, mastic sealant, insulation foam, sealing tapes (including rounded), fixing screws, aluminum-butyl tape, window frame profiles, outer glass fixing elements, and load-bearing fixing plates.
• Installation direction must be specified; suitable for substructure tolerance ±2 mm.
• Windows longer than 6.5 m require dilatation elements to accommodate thermal expansion.
• Glazing seals and sashes are additional and managed by glass suppliers.

8. Door Installation Details

• Similar components and installation notes as windows.
• Doors longer than 6.5 m require dilatation elements.
• Doors can be delivered assembled or disassembled.
• Seals and sashes are additional and must be sourced separately.

9. Dilatation Joint Details

• Components include fixing screws, dilatation flashings (intermediate, external, internal), sealing tape, EPDM transversal gasket and membrane, decorative aluminum extrusion, Z profile, load-bearing fixing plate, mineral wool insulation, and blind rivets.
• Maximum allowed dilatation is ±25 mm.
• Installation direction must be specified; adjustable substructure recommended if tolerances exceed ±2 mm.
• Purpose is to compensate for expansion and contraction in facades longer than 50 m.

10. Other System Connections

• Details for connecting QBISS ONE to other building systems such as concrete or brickwork facades.
• Uses flashing, blind rivets, mineral wool insulation, fixing screws, EPDM transversal gasket, decorative aluminum extrusion, corner flashing, sealing tape, and load-bearing fixing plates.
• Space between facade systems is sealed and insulated to maintain thermal performance.

11. General Installation and Quality Recommendations

• Always specify installation direction for all details.
• Maintain substructure tolerances within ±2 mm; use adjustable substructures if necessary.
• Sealing is critical and achieved through EPDM tapes, membranes, gaskets, mastic sealants, and patented integrated corner gaskets.
• Facade elements are attached after adjacent elements to ensure alignment and finish quality.
• Long facade elements (>6.5 m) require dilatation joints.
• Windows and doors can be delivered assembled or disassembled; seals and sashes are additional and typically supplied by glass manufacturers.
• Facade edges and corners provide unique design aesthetics through vertically or horizontally laid corner elements.

12. Summary of Critical Parameters

• Substructure tolerance: ±2 mm
• Sealing materials: EPDM transversal gaskets, sealing tapes, butyl tape, EPDM drip flashing
• Installation detail scale: 1:4
• Flashing overlap: minimum 50 mm
• Minimum base drip flashing length: 15 cm
• Maximum dilatation joint movement: ±25 mm
