Professional Installation of KMEW Facade Panels

When creating fiber cement facade panels, it was taken into account that these products are intended for use in ventilated facade systems.

The design provides reliable wall protection, timely removal of moisture from gaps, and heat retention. A ventilated facade with KMEW fiber cement panels combines innovative solutions, modern technologies, and compliance with environmental standards in construction.

Key steps for installing fiber cement panels

Installation is possible on almost any type of wall (brick, wooden, reinforced concrete), including walls with a metal or wooden frame.
For panels 14 mm thick, a wooden substructure is used as a more economical option. For greater system reliability, panels 16 mm and thicker are installed on a metal substructure using clips.
Before installation, the strength of the exterior walls is checked to determine the feasibility of fixing the substructures.
For panels 16 mm and thicker, metal substructures certified to Russian Federation standards are used.
For wooden substructures, wooden battens at least 50 mm thick from hardwood species are required.
To ensure heat retention in the building, the following insulators are used:
- Basalt wool with a density of at least 80 kg/m³.
- Fiberglass wool with a density of at least 30 kg/m³.
A vapor-permeable membrane certified to Russian Federation standards is installed over the insulation.
Sealing of panel ends and joints is performed.
Possible panel damage is touched up using matching repair paint.
Installation quality is checked.
