Installation Process
The rainscreen layout must be planned so as to fit with the module of all other elements of the façade. Our in house
engineers will provide assistance and advice upon all aspects of setting out, attachment and detailing for closures.
The location of the support system establishes the accuracy of the façade and must therefore be undertaken
by contractors holding the necessary technical expertise.
Dependant upon the individual requirements of the project, insulation can be fitted within the cavity created between
the wall or panel and the rear face of the tile. The projection of the support system is dictated by the thickness of
insulation and the requirement for a minimum and unimpeded ventilating cavity of 30mm thickness.
The support systems available allow the Tempio to be installed on
blockwork, concrete, timber, steel wall, panelised or within unitised curtain
walling. For retrofit or lightweight block applications, there are
aluminium sections available that span from slab to slab.
The vertical carrier rails are pre-punched to suit the vertical module of tile
selected. The rails are set vertically to suit the length of plate selected. The
rails will generally be 3.0-3.5 metres in length and once one set of
pre-punched holes are accurately aligned horizontally and plumbed
vertically the accuracy of the façade is assured.
The junctions between the tiles have aluminium drainage channels inserted
within them to disperse rainwater from the vertical joints as well as to act in
a compressive function. These prevent tile creep and rattling when
the façade is under load from wind.
The design of the individual support systems and their components ensure
that adequate provision is made for expansion and all normal building
movements.
