ExteriorLuxalon® Exterior Ceilings by Hunter Douglasin special aluminium alloy attached to rigidlysuspended carriers ensure durability andwithstand severe conditions. Allowing awide range of design possibilities exteriorceilings are specially developed with thesame aesthetic appearance as the Luxalon® Interior Ceilings.

ExteriorFlexible durability

A PROVEN SYSTEMHunter Douglas’ Luxalon® Exterior Ceiling system isspecially developed to withstand the strongest weatherinfluences. Tested by TNO, an independent testing andresearch institute in the Netherlands, these ceilings areguaranteed to impress with their durability and designfor many years after installation. The ceiling panels are roll formed from pre-painted, stove-enamelledaluminium strip made from an alloy that is excellent for exterior applications.

The Luxalon® Exterior Ceiling system appears in manydifferent applications including overhanging ceilings inoffice buildings and hotels, canopies in gas stations,and underpass applications in metro and railwaystations.

DESIGN FLEXIBILITYThe Luxalon® Exterior Ceiling system creates newopportunities for expressive architecture and addsbeauty and durability to any building’s exterior. Concave,convex, and undulating sections can be easily formed todesign the perfect curved ceiling. The standardLuxalon® exterior colour range features a variety ofcolours and finishes, with RAL or NCS colours deliveredon request. Some Luxalon® Exterior Ceiling systems arealso available for interior applications, allowingarchitects to visually connect the interior and exterior ofa building for an impressive, unified look.

WEATHER RESISTANCELuxalon® Exterior Ceilings are developed to withstand allweather influences including intensive sunshine,dramatic temperature changes, moisture, pollution andstrong wind loads. Their durability comes from the

patented Luxacote® system, a tough coating thatguarantees colour stability and high resistance againstcorrosion and scratches. The ceilings are made with anideal corrosion-resistant aluminium and featureLuxalon® Profix, Hunter Douglas’ exterior windproofsuspension system.

EASY PLENUM ACCESSThe Luxalon® system allows for easy (de)mounting ofceiling panels. Installed on a concealed suspensionsystem, each panel and infill can be removed andreplaced by hand, allowing easy and full access toservices and installations in the plenum.

CONSTRUCTION DETAILSCurved ceilings can be achieved by curvingthe 84R panels. See separate brochure forcurved ceilings. The system is alsoavailable for interior applications.The Luxalon® standard range of edgeprofiles can be used as perimeters.

PANELSThe Luxalon® 84R Ceiling system consistsof round edged panels (1) which can beeasily clipped on an 84R carrier (2). Panelscan be joined by using the panel splice (8).Between the panels there is an open jointof 16 mm, which can be filled with a 16 mm wide flush join profile (9a) to form aflush closed ceiling appearance or arecessed joint (9b). Join profiles can besimply inserted by hand, without using anytools.

SUSPENSIONThe panel carrier (2) is black and isprovided with prongs to accommodate thepanels in a standard module of 100 mm. Carriers have a standard length of 5000 mm. 84 16

CONSTRUCTION DETAILSThe neat closed joints present smoothuninterrupted appearance. By combining the narrow and wide panels (75,150 and225 mm) on one universal carrier, variousdimensional effects are possible, providingthe designer unlimited possibilities.The Luxalon® standard range of edgeprofiles can be used as perimeters.

PANELSThe Luxalon® Closed Ceiling system has achoice of three widths of panels (1). Allthree widths can be combined and easilyclipped on a universal carrier (2). Panelscan be joined by using the panel splice (8).Locking clips (9) for 75C, 150C and 225Care fitted crosswise on to the carrier, on topof the prongue in order to fully secure thepanels and to create a ceiling able towithstand windloads.

SUSPENSIONThe panel carrier (2) is black, made of 0.95 mm thick stove enamelled aluminiumand is provided with prongs to accommo -date the panels in a width of 75, 150 or 225 mm. Carriers have a standard lengthof 5000 mm.

SpecificationsLUXALON® PROFIXLuxalon® Profix is a suspension systemmade by Hunter Douglas expressly forexterior applications. A cost- and time-saving tool, the system simplifiesinstallation and provides safety andreliability, even when faced with strongwind loads.

Luxalon® Profix consists of:• A strengthening profile; reinforcing ourcarriers, creating a bigger span andtherefore saves on suspension materialand labour (less holes to drill)

• a top fixing; allowing easy mounting ofthe hanger

• a hanger; adaptable in length andresisting high wind forces

MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM PLENUMHEIGHT WITH LUXALON® PROFIXUsing the Luxalon® Profix suspensionsystem provides the benefit of a widevariety in the preferring plenum height.Minimum plenum height is 250 mm,maximum is 1.250 mm (including carrierand reinforcement).

The hangers are available in 10 differentlengths which vary between 200 and 1.100 mm, in steps of 100 mm (200, 300,400 mm etc.). An individual Profix hangerprovides the possibility to vary in length.Each hanger can be adjusted in length + or- 50 mm.

SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS IN GENERALLuxalon® Exterior Ceiling panels are made to measure with a standard maximum length of6.000 mm. The recyclable, lightweight, and strong aluminium panels can be joined byusing the panel splice. The black aluminium panel carrier is provided with prongs toaccommodate the panels, has a standard length of 5.000 mm, and is connected by usingthe carrier splice.

Locking clips are fitted crosswise onto every panel, adjacent to the carriers, in order to fullysecure the panels and create a ceiling able to withstand the strongest wind loads. Thecarrier can be suspended at centers determined by the wind loading graphs, using a rigidlevelled suspension system and the screw washer to isolate dissimilar metals.

Hanger length

- Profile span (x)The profile span, in relation to the wind load (pressure or suction), can be calculated from the graph above. At 1.000 N/m1 the profile spanshould be 1.200 mm (4 or more hangers).

- Buckling load on the hangersBefore establishing the buckling load on the hangers, the load per hanger is to be determined by applying one of the following formulas:

Number of hangers Calculation of ‘pressure load per hanger’

4 per full profile length (1500 mm c.t.c.) 1.1 q x profile span (x) in m

5 per full profile length (1150 mm c.t.c.) 1.143 q x profile span (x) in m

6 per full profile length (900 mm c.t.c.) 1.132 q x profile span (x) in mq = pressureload in N/m1 (uniformly distributed loads on the Luxalon® Profix profile)

The maximum allowed hanger length in relation to the determined pressure load on the hanger can be read from the graph above in thesame way as the profile span. At 1.000 N pressure load the maximum hanger length should be 900 mm.

Note: For corners, roof edges, special designs etc. wind pressure/suction shall be determined with due consideration to the relevant local country’sStandard Codes of Building Practice.
