GOLDEN POWER panels are secured to the supporting frame in a number of ways.These can be simply categorized as visible and invisible. Visible fixing consists of fixing the panels to a metal support frame with UNI-rivets and to a timber support frame with UNI-screws. Invisible options are either adhesive glue or the mechanical fixing solution.
Visible UNI-rivet Fasteners
The UNI-rivets have colour matched heads to blend in with the panel. Aluminium UNI-rivets can only be used with an aluminium supporting frame. Stainless steel UNI-rivets can be used with, aluminium, galvanized or stainless steel supporting frames.The procedure for fixing all GOLDEN POWER panels is very similar.The panel must be pr-drilled with the same size hole to allow for rivet fixing. Each panel has two fixed points. The two fixed points are formed by using the UNI-rivet sleeves to fill the oversized hole.
A centralizing tool is used to drill the rivet hole in the supporting frame.
The centers for the rest of the fixings are determined based on the engineers wind load calculations.
Important note: Aluminium UNI-rivets must not be used with galvanized profiles due to the risk of bi-metallic corrosion. This all ensures that the panel is accurately fixed into position while making certain that the panel is stressfree.
Visible Screw Fasteners
GOLDEN POWER panels can be easily screw fixed to a timber batten supporting frame. Ensure that all timber battens are covered with either an EPDM or aluminium cover strip. The batten must be adequately sized so that the screw is a minimum of 15mm in from the edge.
GOLDEN POWER Stainless Steel T 20 torx screws are available with the heads coloured to match the panels. The minimum screw depth of 25mm into the timber is recommended.
Preparation of GOLDEN POWER Panels Carefully mark the position of the holes on the face of the panel. Drill all holes with an GOLDEN POWER drill bit. Panels are to be drilled prior to lifting into place on the facade. A corner metal template can be employed to speed up drilling. This can be made-up on site. All drilling is best done on a solid workbench. Do not drill multiple panels together. Drill one at a time to ensure accurate positioning of the holes.
Immediately clean all dust and pencil marks from the panel.
All fasteners must be inserted perpendicular to the panel surface, and must not be over tightened to impede the free movement of the panel.
