1. GENERALS

1.1 COMPOSITION AND USE

All the wall panels from Metecno are composite panels, formed by two metal sheets linked by a layer of insulating material,which can be manufactured upon request:

with polyurethane foam with mineralwool

The shape of the panels longitudinal joint is such as to hide the fastening screw, making thepanel more pleasant and elegant looking. In addition to the economic benefits for the structure costs, this solution is an

innovative architectural alternative.

1.2 STANDARD SIZE

Panels are manufactured in 1000 mm wide modules (except the FRIMET TP-SM is 1130mm) ; their length depends

on the specific design requirements and the feasibility of the manufacturing factory. Please request for that.

4. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

4.1 PRELIMINARIES

a) Check that the storage has been carried out according to the directions in chapter 2.b) Check that the panel support structures are level.

c) Position the packages of panels near the points of use.

d) Prepare a fixed or cradle scaffold, according to the working height, 30/40 cm far from the external edge of the main

columns and comply with the rules on safety in the workplace.

e) Control that all workers are equipped with individual safety equipment according to current regulations.

f) Prepare all the power supply lines for tools according to current regulations.

g) Prepare the panel lifting vehicles.

4.2 PREPARING PANELS

4.2.1 Before the assembly, the polyethylene protecting film must be taken away from the entire panel. Thoroughly check that no

traces of residual glue of the protecting film are left on the surface. In such case, remove them using a detergent in a water-

based solution.

4.2.2 If the panel surface shows clear damages on the sheet, set the panel aside and use it when undersizes are required.

4.3 WALL WITH VERTICAL PANELS IN GENERAL

4.3.1 The base-connection must be perfectly stationed horizontally. Attachment with rivets at the sub-construction before

positioning the panels (s. Fig. 5). After the deposition of the panels, the base -connection will be fastened, thus the

panels connected with the sub-construction.

4.3.6 Remove the pliers to release and check again with the plumpline the vertical position of the panel.

4.3.7 When the panels are protected with a self-sticking transparent film, it is important

to remove this from the panel for assembly.

4.3.8 Before assembling the second panel, control that thejoints are clean and free from eventual resiudes of

foam. For a correct and easy assembly, the second

panel must be approached to that one already fixedand with a light inclination it must be pushed

to contact, in such way its possible to obtain

a perfect joint. (fig. 9)

Verify the perfect realization of the joint, control the

external sheet of the contiguous panel,

so that the external surfaces of the panels next to each

Superwall panels should be mounted against the direction of the wind. The panels can be fixed both, visibly andhidden. The number of screws is dependent on the statical calculation, especially taking into account the wind loads

on the surface and the corners of the building. It is important for the fixing of the panels to use stainless steel screws.You can use self-cutting screws or self-drilling screws. Some cases of higher wind loads can make it necessary to fixwith a additional steel plate.

5. USEFUL CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE VERTICAL ASSEMBLY

For Metecno wall panels posed in vertical position its necessary to follow these suggestions:

The panels must be raised very carefully avoiding

to damage the surface. The raising can beexecuted simply by hand or with

the aid of one rope, like evidenced in

fig.15 and the 16.

Fig. 15

Fig. 16

5-10m.


(A better alternative is using a crane)

2 screws (type M10)

An easy support-solution to lift the panels by crane forthe vertical assembling is to use a U-profile fixed onthe end of the panel.

When the panels must be lifted up to a height where you can not work from the ground, you are adviced to use special

tools to lift the panels up, as shown on the sketch (fig17 and 18), or simply use a mobile or stationary crane.

6. CUTTING PANELS

6.1 If panels need to be cut to make openings or passages, proceed as follows:

Protect the surface to be cut with adhesive tape. Draw the cut to be made on the tape using a felt-tip pen.

for cutting use a hack sawing machine or a hand-held circular saw

Clean the surface from the shavings formed during the cutting, because they can cause corrosion over time.

Remove the adhesive tape.

9. PANEL MAINTENANCE

9.1 For the good panel maintenance, two phases must be distinguished:

First phase: regards the time necessary to assemble the panels. Second phase: regards the use of the building, to which the panels have been assembled.

In the first phase, in order to maintain panels undamaged, you should take care of what follows:

the handling during the unloading operations from vehicles must be carried out with suitable means and appropriate

protections, in order to prevent panels from being indented or scratched.

the handling during the removal of the protective film and the distribution near the works. In this stage, we always

suggest that the panel and sections are controlled to remove any excess of the insulating material for the benefit of the

perfect execution of the panel coupling joint.

the lifting operations near walls, to be carried out with suitable means and safety systems for the staff.

the assembly stages, taking particular care to the fastening operations, immediately removing all the shavings causedby drilling from the panel surface. In order to insert screws and avoid indentations to the panel, use screwdrivers that

are equipped with a depth limiting device.

when, during the distribution of panels, stains or deformations (indentations) that cannot be easily fixed are found,

avoid to assemble such panels and set them aside for use as undersize elements, where possible.

9.2 If the above-mentioned recommendations are truly complied with, they guarantee the product integrity and avoid the

annoying building yard objections that very often translate into unpleasant financial costs. The second stage regards the

panel maintenance, which is the final users task, in order for the panels of his building to maintain their original look and

have the building look pleasant.

9.3 The consequences of a slow degradation of the pre-painted external sides are mostly originated from the contact with

aggressive substances contained in corrosive air and gaseous emissions from surrounding activities. Therefore, periodicalinspections to the panels should be planned in order to find possible corrosion; if it is found, action should be taken

immediately, starting protective cycles to stop the process. In the long run, smog deposits on painted surfaces and may

create a dirt film, and the walls will have to be cleaned with water jets.

9.4 The existing seals will have to be controlled, verifying that they are still airtight and waterproof, which otherwise may

cause deterioration. All the fastenings will have to be controlled to verify that they are still in good conditions. Any

scratches of the paint that may have been caused accidentally will have to be protected by retouching: cleaning and

painting. In case of large size dents caused by impacts, the panel will have to be replaced.

9.5 DISPOSAL

In case of yard working wastes and/or dismissal, the panel disposal shall only be entrusted with authorized

companies and carried out in compliance with the current laws in each country.



36/37

10. SAFETY INFORMATION

Each user and/or worker must be aware of all the problems connected with the assembly of these panels, and should

prepare a SAFETY PLAN in order to prevent dangerous situations.

THEREFORE, WE REMIND YOU TO STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THE REGULATIONS ON SAFETY IN WORKPLACES,

BUILDING YARDS AND EQUIPMENT SAFETY.
