Coating – reverse facing, epoxy primer (µm) 7-12
Top coat colour Any variation allowed except red(1)
(1) No other variation in coating composition besides top coat colour is covered under this Certificate.

1.3 The panel is mechanically fastened to the Vitrafix Carrier Sub-Frame System(1) using stainless steel, plain or
coloured Vitrafix Rivets, forming an open-jointed cladding system. The rivets dimensions are 4.8 x 16 mm with 14 mm
head size and 4.8 mm mandrel. The minimum edge distance is 16 - 50 mm both horizontally and vertically.

(1) Outside the scope of this Certificate.

1.4 Ancillary Items used with the products, but outside the scope of this Certificate, include:

• the Vitrafix Carrier Sub-Frame System (consisting of wall brackets at 500 mm maximum spacing and vertical L and T
rails at 500 mm maximum spacing)
• screws attaching the vertical T-rail to the bracket
• fixings attaching Vitrafix sub-frame to the substrate wall (specification dependent on the strength of the substrate)
• substrate wall
• insulation within the cavity behind the cladding
• breather membrane
• cavity barriers
• protective cavity mesh.

2 Manufacture
2.1 Aluminium alloy coil, in the required dimensions, is cleaned by treating with appropriate chemicals. The coil is then
coated with paint, and 2 ovens curing process follows. The panel can be cut to suit length and width if required.

2.2 As part of the assessment and ongoing surveillance of product quality, the BBA has:

• agreed with the manufacturer the quality control procedures and product testing to be undertaken
• assessed and agreed the quality control operated over batches of incoming materials
• monitored the production process and verified that it is in accordance with the documented process
• evaluated the process for management of nonconformities
• checked that equipment has been properly tested and calibrated
• undertaken to carry out the above measures on a regular basis through a surveillance process, to verify that the
specifications and quality control operated by the manufacturer are being maintained.

3 Delivery and site handling

3.1 The panel is delivered to site in wooden pallets and wrapped in protective sheets. The pallets bear product details
such as type, batch number, barcode, size, quantity, and description of the material, weight and colour.

3.2 The panel should be stored in a cool and dry area where temperature is relatively stable. Pallets of VitraDual
should be stored horizontally with adequate support to prevent sagging. Stacked pallets should be identically sized and
not more than four pallets high. To prevent surface damage when stacking VitraDual, there should be nothing between
the panels.

3.3 Considerable care should be taken in the handling of the panel, it is sensitive to impact, particularly shocks from
small, hard objects, which can dent it. A minimum of two people should be used when sliding large sheets to avoid
scratching. Protective clothing should be worn and all Health and Safety measures observed.

Page 4 of 16
3.4 The protective film on the panel should be removed within 45 days of installation to avoid glue residuals on the
panel surface due to weathering. PVC tapes, polyurethane sealant or silicone sealant should not be applied onto the
protective film. The plasticizer contained in these materials can penetrate the protective film and cause a gloss change
in the coating. Spray paint or permanent marker should not be applied to the film as the colour may penetrate the film
and affect the panel. The panel should be protected from any damage following removal of the protective film.

Assessment and Technical Investigations

The following is a summary of the assessment and technical investigations carried out on VitraDual.

Design Considerations

4 Use
4.1 VitraDual is satisfactory for use in an open-jointed, back-ventilated and drained cladding system on the external
walls of new and existing buildings. VitraDual is for application onto timber- or metal-framed substrate walls.

4.2 The panel is installed with 10 mm horizontal and vertical joints between adjacent panels. The cavity behind the
cladding should be at least 50 mm wide (see section 8).

4.3 It is important for designers, planners, contractors and/or installers to ensure that the installation of the panel is in
accordance with the Certificate holder’s instructions and the information given in this Certificate. All design aspects
should be checked by a suitably qualified and experienced individual in accordance with the requirements of the
relevant national Building Regulations and Standards. For advice on specific construction details, eg flue pipe
penetrations, the Certificate holder should be consulted.

4.4 The substrate wall and the sub-frame to which the panel is fixed should be structurally sound. The substrate wall
must satisfy the requirements of the relevant national Building Regulations and Standards regarding watertightness,
and heat and sound transmission.

4.5 Ventilation and drainage must be provided behind the panel. All ventilation openings around the periphery of the
system should be suitably protected with mesh to prevent the ingress of birds, vermin and insects.

4.6 To allow for longitudinal expansion, a minimum gap of 3 mm per metre length between adjacent sub-frame
support rails should be provided. The panel must not be installed across this gap. To allow for expansion, the panel is
installed on the sub-frame with one fixed fitted point in the middle of the panel and oversized holes for the edge fixings
(see section 13.6).

4.7 Any insulation (outside the scope of this Certificate) installed behind the panel must be suitably fixed to the
supporting wall and protected to resist the forces of wind suction. Insulation should be of a rigid type (eg boards or
batts) and a breather membrane should be provided over its outer face to prevent its performance being diminished by
moisture. The ventilation pathway behind the cladding must not be allowed to become blocked, or the insulation
dislodged, where it may be vulnerable to wetting.

5 Practicability of installation
The product is suitable for installation by cladding contractors provided they have undergone suitable training. The
Certificate holder can provide advice on installation if required.

6 Strength and stability

Wind loading

6.1 Wind actions should be calculated in accordance with BS EN 1991-1-4 : 2005 and its UK National
Annex. Special consideration should be given to locations with high wind-load pressure coefficients, as
additional fixings may be necessary. In accordance with BS EN 1990 : 2002 and its UK National Annex, it
is recommended that a partial load factor of 1.5 is used to determine the design wind load to be resisted
by a cladding system incorporating VitraDual.
Page 5 of 16
 6.2 The supporting substrate wall must have sufficient strength to resist independently the loads imparted directly
by the cladding system and wind actions normally experienced in the UK, as well as any in plane force effects. The
supporting sub-frame must have sufficient stiffness, such that its deformation does not affect the performance of
the panel. The panel does not enhance the structural performance of the substrate wall.

6.3 The designer must ensure that:

• the design of the sub-frame and its fixings is in accordance with the relevant codes and Standards, such as to
limit mid-span deflections to: span/200 and cantilever deflections to: span/150
• the panel is fixed to the sub-frame using the specified fixings. (see section 1.3)
• the number and arrangements of fixings provided adequate resistance to the design tensile and shear forces

6.4 For system arrangements other those stated in section 6.5, the wind load resistance should be taken as the lesser
value between that obtained by considering the panels flexural rigidity and the resistance to pull-through of the panels
in conjunction with specified fixings, also taking into consideration the aspects specified in section 6.3. These other
arrangements are outside the scope of this Certificate.

• fixings of the support brackets to the supporting wall have adequate tensile pull-out strength and corrosion
resistance (outside the scope of this Certificate). An appropriate number of site-specific pull-out tests must be
conducted on the substrate wall to determine the minimum pull-out resistance to failure of the fixings. The
characteristic pull-out resistance should be determined in accordance with the guidance given in EOTA TR055,
using 50% of the mean value of the five smallest measured values at the ultimate load.

6.5 Wind load tests were carried out on a wall comprising VitraDual, fixed to the Vitrafix Sub-Frame System using
Vitrafix Rivets (4.8 x 16 mm), with vertical and horizontal spacing of 500 mm, and horizontal and vertical joints of
10 mm between panels. The Vitrafix Sub-Frame System consisted of L (50 x 50 x 2 mm) and T (100 x 45 x 2 mm)
vertical rails supports spaced at 500 mm centres horizontally, attached to wall brackets vertically spaced at 500 mm
max centres. The tested system achieved a design resistance(1) of 1.8 kN∙m-2.

(1) Derived by dividing the wind load test result by a partial factor of 2.0.

6.6 For system arrangements other those stated in section 6.5, the wind load resistance should be taken as the
lesser value between that obtained by considering the panels flexural rigidity and the resistance to pull-through of
the panels in conjunction with specified fixings, also taking into consideration the aspects specified in section 6.3.
These other arrangements are outside the scope of this Certificate.

Impact

6.7 Hard and soft body impact tests were carried out on the same build up as detailed in section 6.5, and
in accordance with CWCT Technical Note 76. Panels are suitable for use in all Use Categories as defined in
EAD 090062-00-0404, an extract of which is reproduced in Table 2 of this Certificate.

Page 6 of 16
 Table 2 Definition of Use Categories (reproduced from EAD 090062-00-0404, Table G.2)
Use Description
Category
I A zone readily accessible at ground level to the public and vulnerable to hard body impacts but not
subjected to abnormally rough use
II A zone liable to impacts from thrown or kicked objects, but in public locations where the height of the
kit will limit the size of the impact; or at lower levels where access to the building is primarily to those
with some incentive to exercise care
III A zone not likely to be damaged by normal impacts caused by people or by thrown or kicked objects
IV A zone out of reach from ground level

7 Behaviour in relation to fire

7.1 The panel has a reaction to fire classification of A1(1) in accordance with
BS EN 13501-1 : 2018. This relates to the full thickness, colour range and mounting methods referred to
in section 1 of this Certificate.

(1) See report WF 431748 available from the Certificate holder. This classification is valid only for construction applications applied over any
combustible wooden based substrate with a minimum density of 450 kg·m3, a minimum thickness of 9 mm and a fire performance of D-s2,
d0 or better, or construction applications over a rock-fibre mineral wool substrate with minimum thickness of 20 mm, minimum density of
30 kg·m-3 and an A1 reaction to fire classification or any appropriate A1 or A2-s1, d0 rated substrate listed in EN 13238 : 2010.

7.2 Cavity barriers should be provided in accordance with the requirements of the national building Regulations
taking this into account.

7.3 Designers should refer to the relevant national Building Regulations and guidance for detailed conditions of use,
particularly in respect of requirements for substrate fire performance, cavity barriers, service penetrations and
combustibility limitations for other materials and components used in the overall wall construction, for example,
thermal insulation.

7.4 The panel is classified as non-combustible and is not subject to any restriction on building height or
proximity to boundaries (see also section 7.1 of this Certificate).

8 Air and water penetration

8.1 The panel is suitable for use in back-ventilated and drained cladding systems.

8.2 The substrate wall to which the cladding is fixed must be weathertight and reasonably airtight satisfying
the requirements of the relevant national Building Regulations and Standards.

8.3 The amount of water entering the cavity by wind-driven rain will be minimal. Water collecting in the cavity owing
to rain or condensation will be removed by drainage and ventilation.

8.4 To satisfy the NHBC requirements (see NHBC Standards 2020, Chapters 6.2, 6.9 and 6.10.18), the minimum clear,
drained and ventilated cavity width between the back of the panel and front of the substrate wall (or insulation if
installed within the cavity) must be 50 mm.

8.5 In addition, a minimum ventilation area of 5000 mm 2 per metre run of cladding at the building base point and at
the roof edge, is required.

9 Maintenance and repair

9.1 To maintain the panel’s appearance, a cleaning regime should be carried out using mineral spirits,
organic cleaners or pH-neutral solvents. Cleaning frequencies are based on each project location. For
more difficult chemical soiling, the Certificate holder’s specialist advice must be sought.

Page 7 of 16
 9.2 Annual maintenance inspections must be carried out to ensure that such features as panels, flashings and seals
are in place, and ancillary fixings are secure.

9.3 Damaged panels should be replaced as soon as practicable. Work carried out should follow the Certificate
holder’s instructions and all necessary Health and Safety regulations should be observed.

10 Durability
10.1 When incorporated in an overall wall cladding system, the panel should have a service life of at least
30 years if designed, installed and maintained in accordance with this Certificate.

10.2 The performance of the coating will depend upon the colour chosen, building location, façade aspect and
immediate environment. Colour change will be generally small and uniform on any one elevation.

10.3 In a non-corrosive atmosphere, the panel can be expected to retain a good appearance for up to 20 years, and
for 15 years in coastal or severe industrial regions.

10.4 In normal circumstances, the panel coating has adequate resistance to abrasion and scratching.

10.5 When tested for cracking in accordance with BS EN ISO 4628-4 : 2003, the panel coating was found to have
adequate resistance.

10.6 When tested for rapid deformation caused by a falling weight (large-area indenter) in accordance with
BS EN ISO 6272-1 : 2011, the panel coating was found to have satisfactory resistance to cracking or peeling.

11 Reuse and recyclability

The product is manufactured from aluminium which can be recycled.

Installation

12 General
12.1 VitraDual must be installed in accordance with the Certificate holder’s recommendations, the requirements of this
Certificate and the specifications laid down by the design engineer.

12.2 Installers must be trained and approved by the Certificate holder who can provide technical assistance at the
design stage and at the start of the installation.

12.3 Installation of the panel should be carried out between temperatures of 5 and 25°C. Extremes of temperature
must be avoided.

12.4 The panel must be mounted to allow for thermal expansion movement. When the panel is secured, allowance for
expansion must also be made by the appropriate use of clearance holes at fixings.

12.5 The panel can be worked by conventional techniques in accordance with the Certificate holder’s instructions.
These include sawing and cutting, drilling and riveting. It is essential that the correct tools, in good condition, are used
to prevent any damage to the coating, and that swarf is removed.

12.6 The panel may be fabricated for installation in either the vertical or horizontal plane. The panel may be predrilled
in the factory or on site.

13 Procedure
13.1 Based on a preliminary survey of the wall and the architectural/structural design, a grid layout for the sub-frame
(wall brackets and vertical rails) is prepared.

Page 8 of 16
13.2 Wall brackets are fixed to the substrate using appropriate fixings. Vertical spacing between wall brackets should
be as specified by the Certificate holder.

13.3 Where required, a rigid or semi-rigid insulation, protected by a suitable breather membrane (both outside the
scope of this Certificate), can be installed on the substrate wall. The thickness of the insulation should be such as to
ensure a minimum ventilation cavity width at the back of the panel is maintained (see section 8.4).

13.4 Vertical support rails are fixed to the brackets with provision for an expansion gap between adjacent vertical rails
(see section 4.6).

13.5 The panel is fixed to vertical rails ensuring minimum vertical and horizontal gaps between panels are maintained
(see section 8.4). To allow for thermal expansion, the correct specified pre-drilled fixing holes are required for both the
panel and support rail. Fixing heads must have sufficient overlap onto the panel and must be concentrically positioned
ensuring that the panel is not fixed too tightly, and therefore prevent the face of panel to move and pull causing
distortion to the surface.

13.6 Typical installation details are shown in Figure 1.
