Lightweight Cladding for Curved Walls from Unitex
What is the interlocking panel technique? The interlocking panel system is a wall cladding system installed with a ventilated air space. It involves laying interlocking VM ZINC® panels on a metal framework fixed to the supporting structure (masonry or metal structure). The panels are simply connected by the use of an interlocking groove giving the elegant appearance of a recessed joint. They are fixed onto the framework using the clips provided which are concealed in the inside edge of the groove.
Characteristics of this technique
- The panels can be laid vertically or horizontally. The choice of direction implies different aesthetics and technical solutions for the main flashings.
- This dimension must be determined before establishing the layout and must be indicated when the panels are ordered.
- Panels are fixed directly on wood or metal transverse purlins spaced a maximum of 600 mm apart
- A continuous 20 mm (minimum) ventilated air gap is left clear behind the boarding on the entire facade.
