Static selection diagram
Static diagram selection is based on the results of the static analysis and the preferred variant for fixed support is mounted to the main supporting vertical profile ( in the upper end, in the middle or in the bottom end). Each main supporting profile is mounted to one fixed and /or several flexible supporting points. As a result of the aluminum thermal expansion, it is recommended that the main supporting profile has a length of about one floor height. The length of the main supporting profile is precisely determined depending on the building location and the respective daily temperature amplitude.
Options for mounting the fixed and flexible supports in the space between floors
A fixed support bears the load of the own weight for the loaded panel and a part of the wind load. There is only one fixed support for every single profile. It is obligatory this support to be fixed in a solid base-reinforced concrete H or metal (steel or aluminum). When installing a wall bracket as a fixed support at the reinforced concrete base the distance from the edge of the concrete floor to the anchorR axis should not be less than 120 mm. G
The flexible support bears the wind pressure. It is not obligatory to assemble the mounting wall brackets to reinforced concrete or metal base. Selection of anchoring element depends on the type and quality of the construction base. Plugs and chemical anchors are most commonly used. The wind suction load is twice as high in the corner zone of the building than in the inner zone, which requires the mounting brackets to be positioned at distances twice shorter at the corner zones.

Mounting of a wall bracket to a metal construction
The circular holes on the fixing bracket are used when mounting it to the metal substructure (grid). The fixing is realized through a bolt connection. If the metal grid is not an aluminum one, then an additional treatment of the contact zone between the profile and the bracket is required so that the effect of bimetal corrosion is eliminated.

The flexible support bears the wind pressure. Wall brackets are mounted on a steady brick or aerated concrete wall. The project designer inspects the construction base and recommends the appropriate anchoring elements. The wind load is twice as high in the corner zone of the building than in the inner zone, which requires the mounting brackets to be positioned at twice shorter distances at the corner zones.

Reference points are marked on the wall by means of a laser level. Their purpose is to help in outlining a coordinate system – horizontal and vertical base lines.
The benchmarks are put onto the wall
The central horizontal and vertical axis of the frame of reference are marked on the façade by means of a coloured thread. The horizontal and vertical lines are passing throughout the entire façade and are used for determining the position of the wall brackets and the distances between the supporting profiles. The positions of the main supporting profiles (depending on the façade grid) are marked using a measuring device (tape-measure).

The final fastening of the elements should be performed by use of a torque wrench while controlling tension. The tightening force is indicated by the manufacturer of the fastening elements. The tension force for anchors of type Sormat M10 x 100 mm is 30 Nm (3 kg). The maximum value of the tension torque for plugs of type Fischer FUR SXR in concrete is 11 Nm. For the different types of masonry it is not recommended to apply tension torque but only â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tightening the screw to open the plugâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
The vertical supporting profiles are mounted in both ends of the façade and are leveled using the horizontal axis of the frame of reference. They are aligned in vertical direction and bracketed by means of vertical level or laser plumb.
The inner supporting profiles are mounted and leveled against the cord.
The spring parts in both ends of the wall bracket allow for easy and simple mounting of the profile. Depending on the brackets, the standard main supporting profiles allow the lev levelling eling of the brackets from 11 to 40 mm.

Mounting of the main suporting profile to a fixed suport:
Fixing of the main supporting profile to a flexible suport:
The main supporting profile is mounted to a fixed support with rivets 4,8 x 12 mm in the circular holes of the mounting wall bracket, thus not allowing movement of the profile.
The main supporting profile is mounted to a fixed support with rivets 4,8 x 12 mm in the centre of the oval shaped holes of the wall bracket. They allow movement of the profile caused by thermal expansion.

The template is intended to help in determining the exact position of the hangers and the spacing between them. A template can be made from a stripe of etalbondÂŽ. The die-cut slots in the template follow exactly the dimensions of the slots, cut on the etalbondÂŽ cassetes. In order to minimize the error accumulation, the length of the template should be chosen as big as possible (one floor height).

* Each cassette should be mounted on two hangers only ( in its upper part ). For this reason the bottom two hangers on which the cassette is mounted have to be fixed 2 mm lower than the upper end of the cassette slot.

Making the template
Installing the first row of hangers
Note: The number of hangers and their spacing depends on the cassette size and the loads exerted on it.
The position of the upmost hanger on the main profile serves as a base point in the process of template making. The first slot is die-cut. The second slot is then cut, displaced from the first slot on a distance, equal to the distance between the cassette slots plus 2 mm.
The next slot on the template (the upper slot of the second cassette) is determined, again taking as a base the position of the upmost hanger on the main profile. The distance between the slots depends on the raster of the sheets and the minimal distance allowed between the slots and the cassette corners.

The hangers have a specially designed shape, which allows direct installation of the hangers on the main vertical profile, instead of stringing them. The hanger is placed perpendicularly to the profile and then is fixed in the channels by means of a slight pressing towards the profile. The shape of the hanger allows movement in vertical direction, in order to make it level.
a3 a4 a5 a6
Note: The distances between the hangers and the distances to the corners are chosen according to the cassette size and the desired faรงade raster. The calculations are done in the initial project stage, before the actual installation.
Initially, the hangers in the upper end of the two end vertical main profiles are installed. Then we measure the distance between them and the established base horizontal level. 30

After we make sure that the upmost hangers are properly positioned on the first and the last profile, we fix them permanently with self-drilling screws М4,8х32mm. The hangers on the intermediate profiles are then vertically aligned by means of coloured thread or a laser level.
After we have the upmost hanger installed, we put the template over it, moving the template downwards until the upper part of its slot reaches the pipe of the hanger. Then we adjust the second hanger, until its pipe touches the upper end of the second slot of the template. After that we fix the hangers with self-drilling screws.
In the cases when the hangers are aligned by means of a coloured thread, the two end hangers must be secured with self-drilling screws. The thread is tied on the screws. The hangers on the intermediate profiles are then aligned on the straight line created by the thread and are secured with screws М4,8х32mm.
Note: Each cassette should be mounted on two hangers only (at the upper part). The bottom two hangers on which the cassette is mounted are to be fixed 2mm lower than the upper end of the cassette slot. 32
33
The steps described above are repeated for the first row of hangers on each subsequent floor. The next hangers on the profiles are installed by means of templates.
Making the cassettes from composite material
Note: Depending on the raster of the façade, there may be different cassettes, which will require different templates to be made.
3200 mm c =25mm d=35mm
a=750mm

The contours of the cassettes (unfolded) are transferred to the composite sheet. The dimensions of the unfolded cassette are determined as follows: h = the height + size of segments (returns) – the number of segments
d c
a
w = the width + segment size (returns) – number of segments

Example: h = а + b + c + d - 3mm h = 750 + 20 + 25 + 35 - 3 h = 827 мм

Reinforced profile
The reinforced profile is fixed by rivets or screws to the segment in the middle of the bottom part of the cassette. The necessity of the reinforced profile (cod. 07support01) depends on the cassette size and the loads exerted on the cassette.
Ventilation grid
A perforated grid is installed in the upper and the bottom end of the ventilated faรงade, allowing free air movement, and in the same time stopping the insects and impurities.
