During installation, the resulting covering widths must be considered

The max. sheet lengths and panel widths to be installed depend on the material. They are subject to the corresponding manufacturer’s specifications and installation instructions.

Material

Stepped tile panel profiles are predominantly manufactured from cold rolled thin sheets and strips of stainless steel, steel, titanium zinc, aluminium and copper. Material thicknesses may range from about 0.6 to 1.2 mm. These dependent on the material itself, the panel width, the restrictions with regard to the manufacturing facility and the wind suction loads on the facade. In addition to the manufacturer’s instructions local standards and guidelines must be observed!

In addition, special requirements must be met regarding predominantly quiet and smooth surfaces of the façade. These require consideration of the specifications of the planner and the material manufacturer.
