1. Technical Description of the Horizontal Façade System 1.1 General The basic horizontal façade system consists of Trimoterm FTV panels of standard modular widths 1000 and 1200 mm. The range of applications for the horizontal joint façade system is extremely wide. They are suitable for business, commercial, leisure, tradeand industrial buildings. The horizontal façade system has excellent technical properties, a long life span and allows creative freedom in building envelope design. The system of Trimoterm fireproof panels ensures high fire resistance, excellent thermal and sound insulation....

Fig. 1b: Possible forms of Trimoterm FTV 1200 façade panels External Profile Types: S - profile (standard profile) 50 Smooth profile (G) Micro-lined profile (M) 15 Internal Profile Types: S - profile (standard profile) 50 Smooth profile (G) Micro-lined profile (M2) 20 Profile Type Side A is usually the external side of a panel. Steel sheet thickness for profile V2, V6, G-gladio is 0.7 mm. Note: The arrangement of V profile typically starts in the middle (centred) of the FTV panel module. Module end, grove and the distance from the panel edge depends on FTV panel module and may vary. Any other...

1.3 Panels Composition Trimoterm FTV fireproof panels consist of two shallow profiled, coated sheet faces in thickneses of 0.5 mm to 0.7 mm. The steel sheet is bonded to the panel core made of non-combustible mineral wool lamellas of class A1 (EN 13501-1). All three layers make a solid panel in a thickness of 50 - 240 mm. Standard width of the panels are 1000 and 1200 mm. Non standard panel width of 600 -1200 mm can be made by a special request. A protective PVC film is applied to the panel surface to protect it during production handling and transport. Panels can be manufactured up to 14 m lenght....

Design procedure 2.1 Panel Thickness Selection With respect to the client’s or project requirements or in accordance with the legislation appropriate thickness of Trimoterm FTV panel shall be selected. Thickness has a direct influence on the load-bearing capacity of the panel, thermal insulation of the façade and heat stability of the structure. 2.2 Structural Design Data Advised distances between supports are determined in relation to the selected panel thickness, loads and support widths. Panels are structurally weakened where windows, doors and other openings are installled. Exact Structural...

Recommendations for installation When erecting a horizontal façade panels must be correctly orientated, to allow water drainage (Fig. 3). Fig. 3: Correct panel assembly on horizontal façades 3.1 Removing Protective Foil A protective foil, for the protection of colour coated surfaces, against any possible damage caused during transport, handling and assembly, is applied to the external face of Trimoterm FTV panels. The foil must be removed from the internal face before the installation of an individual panel. The foil on the external side is removed directly before the completion of works; it...

Fig. 5: Elements cutting is allowed with sheet metal shears and saws Recommended use 3.3 Lifting Methods It is suggested that special mechanical grippers are used for the assembly of a horizontal façade; these grippers can be placed in the longitudinal joint of Trimoterm FTV panel (Fig. 6). Two grippers are needed for one lift and they are delivered with panels, when specially ordered. Instructions for the use of grippers will be provided.

4.2 Fixing a Horizontal Façade to a Steel Structure A steel structure, to which panels are fixed, should comply with ENV 1090-1 or Trimo internal requirements. 4.2.1 Installation of a Load-bearing Steel Structure Additionally, for classic steel structures, a distance profile (Fig. 10) should be welded to the basic steel structure, for a fast and simple installation of a horizontal façade. If the thickness of the load-bearing structure is b < 12 mm, fitting of distance profiles is not required (Fig. 11) as it is possible to fix the panels directly. Fig. 10: Distance profile WARNING: A box section...
