Edge Processing

To mill bevels electric hand planes with bevel or bevel

grooves can be used or hand routers.

Curved Max Exterior Panels

Top and bottom edge profiles (2mm thick) must be

pre-bent. Only sliding line fastenings are allowed (no

point fastenings). The straight ends and joints of the

exterior panels must likewise be edged. (U-profile,

H-profile).

Min. radius 3m(9'-10") and min. length 1.3m(4'-3").

Sealent

The use of sealant compounds must be avoided as they

can cause permanent staining to Max Exterior panels.

Expansion / Contraction

Max Exterior shrinks when it loses moisture and expands

when it absorbs moisture. Calculate: overall length ÷ 500

= change in length

Tolerances +10mm -0mm (EN 438-6,5.3) Panel formats

are production formats. If exact dimensions and angles

are necessary, we recommend an all-sided blank.

Ventilation Cavity Intake/Exhaust

Air cavity ventilation openings provided at the base and

top of the wall area and at any additional interruptions for

example window heads and sills.

Panel Attachment

Installation of Max Exterior panels using concealed,

mechanical fastening brackets on an aluminum rail.

Max Exterior panel thickness: 10 and 12mm

Anchoring depths: 10mm thick panels 4mm

12mm thick panels 6mm

Panel Attachment Layout

Spacing of brackets to be spread equally on panel. See

below for edge distance and spacing requirements.

Panel Joints

To be minimum 8mm wide for vertical and horizontal

joints. The wider any joint, the less noticeable are

inaccuracies in width. Therefore typical joint width used is

13mm.

Single span panel.

Double span panel.

Minimum distance to panel edge:

Site Fabricating Panels

Avoid using tools which produce fine dust. Always work

out of the weather. Always drill/cut perpendicularly to the

panel surface. Use circular saw with straight edge with

dust extraction. For best cut use a Blad hard metal teeth

TF or diamond tipped saw blade. Use jig say for hole cut

outs in panel. Dust from fabrication must be removed

from panel surface immediately following cutting.

Site Storage

Max Exterior panels must be stacked horizontally on flat,

stable supports and supporting panels. The goods must

lie completely flat.

Cover plates must always be left on the stack. The top

cover should be weighted down. After removal of panels,

PE films must again be closed over tyhe stack. The same

applies, in principle, for cut-panel stacks. Incorrect

storage can lead to permanent deformation of the panels.

Max Exterior panels are to be stored in closed rooms

under normal climatic conditions. Climate differences on

the two surfaces of a panel are to be avoided.

With pre-installed fastening elements, therefore, care is to

be taken that the climatic effect is uniform on all sides.

Use intermediate layers of wood or plastic.

Max Exterior Panel Expansion/Contraction

To allow expansion and contraction between the

substructure and panels, all brackets are floating. In

order to hold up the panel, 1 bracket is fixed by

mechanical fastener. In addition to the fixed bracket, a

loose point is placed in the same level. Position of the

fixed and loose points will be determined on shop

drawings.
