Technique Exterior

In this brochure we will give you all the technical


information around the Max Exterior panel, which is
made for outdoor applications.

Max Exterior is not only a facade panel for the rear


ventilated facade. The properties of the panel qualify
it for all other outdoor-applications - like balconies
or railing-fillers, outdoor-furniture, sunblinds, por-
ches etc. also.

But there are many other ideas to use Max Exterior.

If you have any questions, which are not answered in


this brochure, please get in contact with our sales
represantatives or the technical support department.
We are pleased to help you.

A lot of examples of use you may find in our brochu-


re „Exterior Projects“.

Have also a look at our website www.fundermax.at,


where are updated projects are presented.

Max Exterior panels are duromer high-pressure laminates (HPL) in accordance


with EN 438-6 Type EDF that are produced in lamination presses under great
pressure and high temperature. Double-hardened acrylic PUR resins provide
extremely effective weather protection that is particularly suitable for long-
lasting balconies and façade claddings.

As a standard, Max Exterior panels
come printed on both sides. The core is
flame-retardant and the surface is light-
fast. Thanks to the double-hardened resin,
it is also extremely weather resistant.

Mounting of Max Exterior panels with Substructure


screws on a wooden substructure The wooden substructure has to be made in accor-
dance with national standards. For applications that
do not require structural analysis, the dimensions
should be at least 60 x 40 mm for the underlying hori-
zontal base or counter slats, at least 50 x 30 mm for
the vertical support slats, and 100 x 30 mm in the joint
areas. The support slats of the substructure are to be
permanently protected from moisture by UV-and
weather-resistant joint tape.Due to the material prop-
erties of Max Exterior, fixed points and sliding points
need to be made to mount the panels (Fig. 13).

Fixed points
Fixed points are used for uniform distribution (halving)
of the expansion and shrinkage movements. The
diameter of the drill hole in Max Exterior has to be
made with 6,0 mm.

Sliding point
The diameter of the drill hole in Max Exterior must be
drilled larger than the diameter of the fastening, de-

Mounting of Max Exterior panels with Substructure


rivets on an aluminium-substructure The aluminum substructure has to observe the
requirements of the national standards and has to be
installed in accordance with the manufacturer specifi-
cations for the substructure. The aluminum substruc-
ture basically consists of vertical support profiles
which are mounted on the wall using angle brackets.
Due to the material properties of Max Exterior panels,
fixed points and sliding points need to be made to fix
the panels (Fig. 18).
Metal subconstructions change their dimensions with
differences in temperature. The dimensions of Max
Exterior, however, alter under the influence of chang-
ing relative humidity. These changes in size of subcon-
struction and cladding material can be opposite to
each other. When installing, attention must be paid to
the expansion clearance. The rule of thumb for the
required expansion clearance is:

element in the drill hole (Fig. 22). The centre point of
the drill hole in the subconstruction must coincide with
the centre point of the drill hole in the Max Exterior

Secret glued fastening Gluing


with gluing systems An alternative to secret mechanical fixing with plugs is
gluing the Max Exterior facade panels with gluing sys-
tems which were specially developed for this. It works
on normal planed wood or aluminium subconstructi-
ons. Gluing is a clean and simple solution for rear-ven-
tilated facades, attics, visible roof underfaces, reveals
and much more.
It is important that the responsible building officials of
the region or the country give permission.
These gluing systems in connection with Max Exterior
panels are permitted generally by building authorities
in Germany.

Mounting instructions
1. Preparing the substructure
Max Exterior lap siding elements are installed using mounting clips fixed to a sub-
structure of vertical wooden slats. Each slat must be at least 50 mm wide for a
single mounting clip, or 75 mm wide where two panels join to allow enough space
for two mounting clips side-by-side. The gap between each slat should not ex-
ceed 500 mm*. The panels are installed starting from the bottom. First of all, fit a
horizontal base bar. Now fit the first row of mounting clips so they rest on the bar.
Make sure you fit 2 mounting clips at each vertical joint between panels.
Fig. 47
* The spacing specified applies to low buildings, i.e. up to 8 m in height.

2. Installing the first row of panels


Place the groove along the lower edge of the Max Exterior lap siding elements
onto the mounting clips. Secure the panels in place by fixing mounting clips along
the top edge of each panel. The panel above overlaps the first row of panels by
approximately 25 mm. Fit a screw next to the top middle mounting clip on each
panel. This is designed to stop the panel shifting sideways.

Fig. 48

3. Vertical joints
A slat for fixing the mounting clips must be located at each vertical joint. Two
mounting clips, one either side of the joint, are needed to provide the necessary
hold. Please use Max Exterior backing strips to seal the vertical joint between
cladding panels.

Fig. 49

If the siding elements are arranged so the vertical joints are offset then it is suffi-
cient to install the panel plus backing strip using a single mounting clip.
If the vertical joints are in a line then two mounting clips need to be used. There
must be a gap of at least 8 mm between the panels at the joint.

Fig. 50

4. Outside corners/inside corners with mitre

Max Exterior lap siding elements can be mitred for both outside and inside corners.
Height of panel

Outside corners: The top edge of the panel must be 12 mm shorter than the lower
edge of the panel (regardless of the panel width).
Inside corners: The lower edge of the panel must be 12 mm shorter than the top
12 mm

edge of the panel (regardless of the panel width).


The mitred edges must have a chamfer. The substructure needs to be protected
with a plastic sheet to prevent water entering.
Fig. 51 Elements can be installed on both outside and inside corners using a variety of sha-
pes of corner profile. In this case the panels are cut to size without a mitre. Make
sure there is a gap of at least 5 mm between each panel and the corner profile.

5. Installing the top row of panels

Secure the top row of panels by fitting screws along the top edge of each panel.
Use screws with painted heads to match the colour of the panels, as used for the
installation of full-sized Max Exterior cladding boards.

or epoxy resin adhesives such as:
ICEMA R 145/44 or
ICEMA R 145/12 from the company
H.B. Fuller Austria Gmbh

Attention:
Not every glue can be removed from the panels after-
wards.
Individual experimentation with the glues should in any
case be carried out before beginning with the gluing
work. Please be sure to observe the manufacturer
guidelines for the glue.
In order to protect the panel surface, be sure to leave
the protective film in place.
When performing the gluing with heat, be sure not to
exceed 60° C.

Installation
Sandwich elements with Max Exterior should be
installed with sufficient space for expansion (2mm/m)
and must be inserted into an enclosing frame.
It must be ensured that moisture does not accumulate

Important notes:
Both sides of the Max Exterior panels must be
processed in the same direction (grinding direction).
The expansion and shrinkage behavior in the lateral
direction of the panel is twice that of the longitudinal
direction.
Max Exterior panels must be conditioned before glu-
ing. Based on a normal workshop climate, a period of
7-14 days depending on the thickness of the panel is
required for sufficient conditioning. All surfaces to be
glued must be kept clean, dry and grease-free.
If a glue application machine is not available, the glue
can be applied with a notched trowel. Follow the man-
ufacturer guidelines for the glue in determining how
much to apply.
Foams with a degree of elasticity compensate for any
variations in length.

C) Max Exterior Alucompact panel - screwed.
Balcony screws as described on page 53

Description:
Max Exterior Alucompact panels each have an aluminium
band positioned below the décor layer. These aluminium
bands give an extremely high breaking strength and stif-
fen the panel. Due to this, very large fastening spacings
are possible with low material thicknesses. The working
and machining is to be carried out as for the Max Exterior
panels.

Roof Claddings

General information Ventilation


Ventilation between the subroof and the panel (height
of the counter slats) depends on the rafter length and
roof pitch.
Subroof
The subroof must be designed and constructed as a
seamless water transport layer for all roof pitches and
structural variations. The drainage takes place in the
substructure of the facade.
Substructure
Depending on the design, the construction consists of
horizontal or vertical support profiles and counter slats
sufficiently fixed mechanically to the counter slats.
Counter slats
If wooden counter slats are used, they are to be per-
manently protected against weathering and thus a loss
in their load-bearing abilities. The dimensions of the
counter slats depends on the rear-ventilation cross-
section, however they must be at least 60 x 40 mm.
The slat spacing is to be determined through structural
analysis.
Support slats (-profile)
Vertical or horizontal metal support profiles serve as
support slats; single profiles serve as middle supports,
and in the joint areas double profiles are used which
also serve a drainage function.

Construction
Max Exterior can be used for canopies taking the fol-
lowing points into account. During construction and
installation it is important to ensure that the material is
not subjected to accumulating moisture. Max Exterior
panels must always be connected to each other in the
same direction.
Max Exterior panels may exhibit planar deviations.
These should be corrected though a stable, level sub-
structure. All connections to other components or the
sub-base are to be force-fitted.
Panel joints should overlap, or be kept at the same
level through appropriate connections such as tongue
and groove or H-profiles that allow sufficient space for
expansion.

Minimum roof pitch: 6°

Verification of stability:
This must be determined for all applications in the
facade and roof areas as well as for porches for each
project and must be performed under consideration of
the regional building regulations.

Wind load
Snow and wind loads are to be taken into account
when determining the proper fasteners and spacing of
the subconstruction.
For Austria: Eurocode ÖNORM EN 1991-1-4
For Germany: DIN EN 1991-1-4

Soiling
Avoid soiling though:

Recommendations for working

Transport and Handling


Handle MAX EXTERIOR panels with care in order not
to damage the edges and surfaces of the high-quality
material.
In spite of the excellent surface hardness and the
installation protection film, the stack weight of MAX
EXTERIOR is a possible cause of damage. Therefore,
any form of dirt or dust between the panels must defi-
nitely be avoided.

Max Exterior must be secured against slippage during


transport. When loading or unloading, the panels must
be lifted. Do not push or pull them over the edge.
Fig. 137

Transport protection films must always be removed


from both sides at the same time.

The transport protection film must not be exposed to


heat or direct sunshine.

Storage and Air Conditioning


must be stacked horizontally on flat, stable supports
and supporting panels. The goods must lie completely
flat.
Cover plates must always be left on the stack. The top
cover should be weighted down.
After removal of panels, PE films must again be closed
Fig. 138
over the stack.

The same applies, in principle, for cut-panel stacks.


Incorrect storage can lead to permanent deformation
of the panels.

Max Exterior is to be stored in closed rooms under


normal climatic conditions.
Climate differences on the two surfaces of a panel are
to be avoided.
With pre-installed fastening elements, therefore, care
is to be taken that the climatic effect is uniform on all
sides. Use intermediate layers of wood or plastic.

Warranty
FunderMax warrants the quality of Max Exterior within
the framework of the given values and test standards.
However, they are expressly not liable for defects in
the substructure or defective installation as they have
no control over the execution of these. The local build-
ing regulations are to be followed without fail - we
accept no liability with regard to these. All information
corresponds to the current state of the technology.
Suitability for particular applications cannot be con-
firmed in general.

Fig. 144

Production
Max Exterior consists of lengths of natural fibre -
about 65% of the weight - and synthetic resins. The
panels do not contain organic halogen (chlorine, fluo-
rine, bromine etc.) compounds, such as occur in pro-
pellant gases or PVC. They contain neither asbestos
nor wood preservatives (fungicide, pesticide etc.) and
are free from sulphur, mercury and cadmium. The pre-
cisely managed production processes have no nega-
tive effects whatsoever on the environment.

Waste disposal
The shavings which arise when machining (cutting and
milling) are not hazardous to health. Consequently,
even with the thermal disposal of waste - assuming
modern heating plants - no environmental poisons
such as hydrochloric acid, organic chlorine com-
pounds or dioxins can arise.
Max Exterior combust - with appropriately high com-
bustion chamber temperatures and dwell times of the
combustion gases in the combustion chamber, as well
as an adequate supply of oxygen - into carbon diox-
ide, nitrogen, water and ashes. The energy which
results from this can be utilised.
Disposal on well-ordered commercial landfills is not
problematic. Always observe the country-specific rules
and regulations which apply to disposal.
