🧩 Installation of sandwich panels: Technology for walls and roofs

sandwich panels mounting technology includes certain stages, the exact observance of which is the construction guarantees a reliable structure. We offer to meet with the right course of action, so that you can perform a quality installation work at the construction of prefabricated buildings.

What should be done prior to installation of sandwich panels

Performance Specifications elevated structure depend not only on the quality of installation, but also the preparatory work. If the original base was prepared correctly, markup applied inaccurately, to form a strong and reliable connection is difficult. Check out the nuances of the preparatory phase, in order to avoid typical mistakes, not to waste time and not to increase the cost of construction.

Substrate preparation

Some modern sandwich panels allow the installation without the use of frames. Such products are themselves carriers, which greatly simplifies the installation work as simply pour the foundation properly. If you decide to give preference to sandwich panels, which are not self-supporting, it is necessary to prepare the base properly:

• at foundation horizontal deflection should not exceed 3 mm;
• vertical and horizontal profiles must be located so that the distance between them was less than 10 cm dimensions mounted elements. This will allow the unhindered install and even secure wide panels and decorative screens;
• wooden rails must be treated with antiseptic and fire retardant compositions for longer life.

Cutting and drilling of mounting panels

Before proceeding to the marking of sandwich panels, make sure that all supplied products have similar characteristics. Noteworthy color and size of the individual elements. After that, the material surface is cleaned from the existing contamination and mark out, focusing on the design documentation. To do this, use a special marker or felt-tip pen.

Cut the sandwich panels in size, be sure to PPE due to the risk of injury. As a tool you can use a jigsaw with a fine tooth comb, or an ordinary hacksaw. The use of plasma cutting or polishers should be abandoned because of the risk of fire heater and the loss of metallic elements corrosion properties. Work performed at an air temperature of + 5 ° C and above. This eliminates chipping plastic parts.

If the supporting surface protrudes concrete or wood, in sandwich panels pre-drilled mounting holes. For their formation using a conventional drill. The entire dust from machining should be promptly removed from the surface of the mounting elements.

The marking of places to install

After checking the correctness of the spatial arrangement of the frame elements and their dimensional accuracy, with the base surface of the accumulated dirt is removed. If necessary, repeat the treatment for longer life. Thereafter markup applied according to the design documentation.

Installation of wall sandwich panels: Technology of work with his own hands

Mounting wall sandwich panels has a lot of nuances. Starting the implementation of the work, you should carefully read the sequence of actions to ensure a firm connection with the base element.

The rise of the panels and installation in the design position

mount technology depends on the installation method. Perhaps the formation of longitudinal and transverse joint. The choice of a particular variant determines the starting point from which the installation begins.

longitudinal seam

Mount Technology includes the following stages:

Illustration	Description of the action
	Unloading panels must comply with a crane or forklift with careful observance of safety regulations. Necessarily be a visual inspection to ensure the required characteristics according to the material, no damage. The bundles must be distributed around buildings erected on a horizontal surface without dumping the each other, protecting from sun, rain and dirt
	To the prepared and leveled base is laid wide butyl tape. Its inner edge to be in contact with the colonies. In areas of contact should provide overlaps 50 mm
	On top of the butyl sealing tape is placed, ensuring contact with the colony. The edges should be joined end to end. In the corners of the sealing tape must be trimmed so that the edge of the wall to remain at 50 mm to provide sufficient bias the guide plinth
	Install the plinth guide at a distance of 7 - 9 mm from the columns. The openings for the condensate must be on the outer side of the guide. The elements in the corners connect butt. The inside of the cut. Fasten element.
	Set butyl tape in the guide plinth that it is adjacent to the inner edge. The field overlaps compound provides 50 mm
	Install mineral wool insulation. Elements laid end to end
	Fasten the plinth bar along the outside edge overlaps with the escutcheon guide 100 mm. At the corners, making folds at an angle of 90º
	In columns fasten gasket, departing from the outer edge 20 mm
	Before installing sandwich panels remove from it the protective film entirely or partially. Complete removal must be performed immediately after the installation work. Using grippers lift the first sandwich panel and install it in the right place, focusing on the design documentation. Edge of the panel should be located in the middle of columns
	Install the next panel vertically, pre inflicting on the previous lock sealant

butt joint

The technology of vertical installation of sandwich panels is substantially similar to the horizontal installation instructions. When performing installation work should be to achieve a snug fit mating components, which in some cases causes serious difficulties due to the large weight and dimensions of the panels.

Attention! To achieve a snug fit by specific clamping device, however, the impact of the shock method is strictly prohibited.

We offer watch the video demonstrates the order of execution of works:

mount

To fix the sandwich panels are most commonly used self-tapping screws. They are fixed at 400 mm. Size of fastening elements selected according to the type and transverse dimensions tacked sandwich panels and carcass characteristics. To compound turned sufficiently strong, one should choose a place for fastening at a distance of more than 50 mm from the edge.

Attention! For the formation of a firm and reliable connection screws should be placed at right angles to the latched sandwich panel.

Spun tapping screws should be using the sealing rubber washers. It is necessary to achieve full contact with the work surface. It is necessary to avoid severe strain washers.

Installation of shaped elements

After completing installation work, secure the additional elements. Thanks to their presence, one can increase the life of the building structure, further improving the appearance of the building.

work performance technology involves the installation from the bottom up. When installing plinth components and flow to ensure sufficient watertight sealant is used with suitable characteristics. For their self-tapping fixing screws used with caps of the same color as the main surface.

Fitting roof sandwich panels: a sequence of actions

To the roof of the sandwich panels have gained a strong and reliable, it is worth a responsible approach to its installation. Attention should be paid every stage, and therefore must adhere to a strict sequence of actions, so as not to disrupt the work performance technology.

Lifting panels and styling in the design position

The process of lifting sandwich panels to a considerable height quite difficult. Such products weigh more wall and have large cross-sectional dimensions. Moreover, for their insulation filler is used with a higher density.

Attention! When lifting the panel can not be damaged locks and compromising the integrity of the polymer coating.

Preferably, the use of special tools. Assume lifting slings on pallets in the absence of mechanical or vacuum gripper

butt joint

Installation begins with the installation of the first panel. If the ramp is longer than 12 meters, work is being done by the eaves to the ridge. The first element is placed on the run down the slope and fixed with screws, after first checking the spatial position. The next element trimmed from the bottom (end) portion to remove excess heat insulation. Rises to the top. Performing bridles, form transverse joint. Similarly, the other elements are mounted.

longitudinal seam

Formation of the longitudinal connection is carried out in a similar manner. The technology is identical. The main difference lies in the trim heater along the long side of the element and using a silicone sealant to produce a durable and reliable connection. The sealing composition is applied to the joint compound just prior panels.

Mounting roof sandwich panels produced in the lower basin. The joints most commonly used special rivets. Fasteners located every 30 cm. When fixing is required to provide a clearance of 2 - 3 mm to compensate for thermal deformation.

Installation of shaped elements

Use of shaped elements can be given a roof finished appearance. They are mounted in the joints of panels. Provide overlaps of 10 cm. To ensure a sufficient level of tightness, use of silicone compositions.

installation of increased fire resistance panels Features

To ensure the required performance of the forming surface, the gaps in the field of panels and structures compound filled with mineral wool. Interlocks nashchelnikami closed on both sides. The density of the insulation must be used more than 125 kg / m³. The thickness of shaped elements - of more than 0.5 mm. Fasteners should be positioned after a maximum of 30 cm.
