GOLDEN POWER may be face fixed to metal supporting frame using the GOLDEN POWER UNI-rivet. The UNI-rivets have colour matched heads to blend in with the panel. Aluminium UNI-rivets can only be used with aluminium supporting frame. Stainless steel UNI-rivets can be used with, aluminium, galvanized or stainless steel supporting frames.
Procedure
The procedure for fixing all GOLDEN POWER panels is the same. The panel must be pre drilled with an 11mm diameter size hole to allow for rivet fixing.Each panel has two fixed/stop points. The two fixed/stop points are formed by using the red UNI-rivet sleeves to fill the oversized hole. No red sleeve is used for the sliding/go holes. A centralizing tool is used to drive the rivet hole in the supporting frame. A UNI-rivet setting tool which fits to the end of the rivet gun can be used to prevent scratching the rivet head and ensure the correct placement of the UNI-rivet.
Hole position
The position of the holes is as follows.
• From the horizontal edges of the panel the dimension is 70mm -> 100mm.
• From the side edges of the panel the dimension is 30mm -> 100mm.
Placing the corner UNI-rivets 80mm from the horizontal edge 30mm from the vertical edges visually is the preferred
location.
The centres 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 ensures that the panel is accurately fixed into position while making certain that the panel is stress-free.
