SHORT SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The Luxalon® exterior 80B ceilingsystem consists of box shaped, 80 mmwide aluminium panels (1) which canbe easily clipped on the 80B carrier (3).The stove enamelled aluminium panelsare recycable, lightweight and strong.The panels are made to measure andcan be supplied in any length up to6000 mm. Panels can be joined byusing the panel splice (6).

Between the panels there is an openjoint of 20 mm, which can be filledwith a recessed U-shaped infill profile(2). Fixing clips (7) must be insertedbetween panels when no infill profilesare used in order to retain the panels.

The carrier (3) is black, made of0.95 mm thick stove enamelledaluminium and is provided with prongsto accommodate the panels in a moduleof 100 mm. Carriers have a standardlength of 5000 mm and are connectedby using the carrier splice (5).The carriers can be suspended at centresdetermined by the wind loading graphs(see opposite page) using a rigidlevelled suspension system. Utilisingthe washerset to isolate dissimilarmetals.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

• Panel length made to measure up to6000 mm, allowing swift installationand reducing the need for paneljoints.

• The panels combined with joinprofiles provide a visually closedceiling.

• Panels are made from a corrosionresistant aluminium alloy, whichmakes the panels strong and resistantto corrosion.

• The panels can be easily removed andreplaced by hand, providing fullaccess to services and installations inthe plenum.

• The patented Luxacote® coating,guarantees colour stability and highresistance against scratches andcorrosion.

• The system is also available forinterior applications. See separatebrochure.

MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS

- BA S E MAT E R I A L

Luxalon® 80B exterior ceiling panelsare rollformed from 0.6 mm thickprepainted stove enamelled aluminiumstrip, which is corrosion resistant. Allaluminium products can be recycled forthe full 100% requiring very littleenergy.

- CO AT I N G

The tough and durable Luxacote® finishin a nominal thickness of approxi-mately 20 microns, is stove enamelledin a continuous coil-coating processensuring colour stability. Luxacote®

finish guarantees optimum adhesionand excellent resistance to weathering.

- LU X A L O N ® C O L O U R R A N G E

The standard Luxalon® colour range for80B exterior ceilings includes differentcolours and finishes. See Luxalon®

exterior colour chart. Any other (RALor NCS) colour is available on request.

MAXIMUM SPANS

- PA N E L S PA N (C)The panel spans, in relation to the wind load (pressure orsuction), can be calculated from the graph adjacent.At 800 N/m2 the panel span should be 1250 mm (on 4 ormore carriers).

- CA R R I E R S PA N (B)Before establishing the fixing distance of the carriers, the loadper lineal meter carrier is to be determined by applying one ofthe following formulas:

PLENUM ACCESSIBILITY

The Luxalon® exterior 80B systemallows for easy demounting of thepanels and infills. Installed on aconcealed suspension system, eachpanel and infill can be removed andreplaced by hand allowing easy and fullaccess to services and installations inthe plenum.

The carrier span (screw distance) (B) can be read from thegraph in the same way as the panel span.

Note: For corners, roof edges, special designs etc. wind pressure/suction shallbe determined with due consideration to the relevant local country’s StandardCodes of Building Practice.
