The same installation process

FILLTECT and CERADIR V are installed following the same logic and the same sequence of work. For the installer the process is practically the same; only certain clips, accessories and series-specific requirements change.

Cutting and preparation

Panels are cut and adjusted on site when the setting out requires it. The general recommendations below apply to installation work; the specific dimensions, spacings and requirements are in the current manual.
  • Tools and cutting method as set out in the current manual
  • Dust extraction and personal protective equipment
  • Storage and handling of the panel on site
  • Edge and trim treatment according to the series, the detail and the current manual
Cutting disc for KMEW panels
Square for marking and guiding the cut
Cutting station on site: panels on trestles, saw and dust extraction
Cut made with the disc for KMEW panels: clean edge and a tight joint.
Cut made with the disc for KMEW panels: clean edge and a tight joint.
Cut made with an unsuitable disc: chipped edge and the core showing along the joint.

Mechanical fixing on site

KMEW
Mechanical fixing
  • No drying times for the cladding
  • More predictable work sequence
  • Less wet waste on site
  • Panel + clip + subframe
  • Less dependence on drying processes
Fixing clip on the subframe holding the edge of the panel

Installation is still subject to safety, wind, heavy rain, ice, access and storage. The real advantage is that the cladding does not need to cure or dry wet layers before work can continue.

Final quality check

Final check before handover. The acceptance criteria are those of the project and of the current manual.
  • Plumb and alignment of the subframe
  • Ventilation cavity clear and continuous
  • Joints and spacings in accordance with the current manual
  • Junctions and trims correctly executed
  • Fixings complete and panels without visible damage
  • Final cleaning of the facade
Checking the installed facade before handover

Technical installation enquiry

If in doubt about the installation, send the detail before carrying out a solution on site.
Useful documentation for the enquiry:
  • Photographs of the junction or detail
  • Sketch, PDF or drawing
