Application and delivery programme.

Unique and special Trespa Meteon is a flat panel, based on thermosetting resins, homogeneously reinforced with wood fibres and manufactured under high pressure and at high temperatures, using a proprietary technology (EBC). The panels have an integrated decorative surface. Trespa Meteon is used for faade cladding, fascias, soffits, balcony panels and balustrades, urban furniture, sandwich panels and a wide range of other exterior applications. Trespa Meteon is highly suited for ventilated facade systems. These breathing or envelope systems offer possibilities for high insulation values, perfect building physics and contribute to a healthy indoor climate. In Summer, excessive solar heat can be vented away through the ventilation between the panels and the insulation materials. Trespa Meteon is more than just a faade-cladding panel. Over 50 standard colours and the option to choose a decorative surface on one or both sides make it possible to create any imaginable modern design. This is complemented by an assortment of themed decorative surfaces, such as Meteon Naturals which have the colours of natural building materials, Meteon Metallics which have a modern metallic gloss effect, Meteon Wood Decors which have warm wood shades and Meteon Originals which have unique designs. Within this comprehensive range of colours and textures, you can also choose from various surface textures in certain product lines with names that speak for themselves: Satin gives a satin gloss, Gloss carries a shiny gloss and Rock has a rock texture. (Different assembly guidelines apply to the Gloss texture). Trespa Meteon is available in the standard (non-FR) version (complies with Euro classification D-s2, d0) and a fire-retardant (FR) version (complies with Euro classification B-s2, d0). Both versions have a black core. The fire-retardant version of Trespa Meteon with a decorative layer on one side is provided with an identification print on the reverse side of the panel, in addition to the sticker on the panel. The identification for Meteon material with decorative layers on both sides remains unchanged. The sticker on the panel enables you to easily distinguish between standard Trespa material (non-FR) and fire-retardant Trespa material. Trespa Meteon is available in the following sizes: I 3650 x 1860 mm I 3050 x 1530 mm I 2550 x 1860 mm Trespa also offers Meteon corner profile elements that meet the same high standards of Trespa Meteon flat panels. They are available with double-sided colour and Satin structure. Standard corner profile element sizes: 3650 x 300 x 300, radius 20 mm. Standard corner profile element thicknesses: 8 and 10 mm.

Fabrication and installation of Trespa Meteon Metallics.

Trespa Meteon Metallics panels feature a directional coloured surface. In order to achieve te same orientation of the panels please take notice of the following points:

Optimizing

When optimizing Trespa Meteon Metallics panels the direction should always be taken into account. Arrows on the back side of the fullsize panels have been applied by Trespa to indicate the direction the sheets have been produced (illustration 1)

Fixing

When cutting the sheets we advise you to temporarily mark the original production direction on the visible side of the individual panels. The fixing of the panels in the same direction wil be easier and this way there will be no undesirable colour distinction (illustration 2). All other instructions for processing and fixing are as standard Trespa Meteon panels.

Service and guarantees.

Warranties D1 6 Thanks to practical experience over many years and the high quality of Trespa Meteon panels, warranties are available both for the product range in general and for specific projects. More information can be obtained from your local Trespa office or representative.

The technological quality.

Environmental considerations Environmental considerations play a significant role in the development and manufacture of Trespa Meteon. Panels consist of approximately 70% softwood fibre and 30% thermosetting resin. The wood fibre comes from fast-growing pine wood from European production forests. Overall some 85% of the used raw materials are rapidly renewable. In addition up to 10% of residual materials from production are recycled to produce new Trespa construction panels. Trespa International was one of the first producers of panel material to be certified according to ISO 14001, awarded by Lloyds Register. The ISO 14001 standard describes the steps required for setting up, implementing, maintaining and improving a completely integrated environmental management system. At end of their life cycle Trespa Meteon panels can be thermally recycled with energy recovery locally in an industrial incinerator as they contain no heavy metals, halogens or biocides. Trespa International is able to provide information about the characteristics of Trespa Meteon, its safety and effect on the environment and has available full product Life Cycle Analyses (LCAs).

Building certificates

All major European certification institutes which form the European Union of Agrment (UEATC) have certified both Trespa Meteon and its recommended fixing systems. Certificates are issued by amongst others: KOMO; DIBt; BUtgb; BBA; CSTB and TORROJA.

CE marking

Trespa International has introduced the new CE marking for its products. Trespa Meteon fully complies with the requirements of the new EU standard. D1 7

The technical quality.

Easy to keep clean The smooth panel surface has a closed non-porous structure, ensuring that practically no dirt accumulates. Neither the surface nor the sawn edges need to be painted or provided with a protective cover. Trespa Meteon is completely unaffected by household cleaning agents or strong organic solvents.

Vandalism

The favourable combination of flexural strength and elasticity make the panel material highly impact resistant. It is therefore highly suitable for application in environments that are exposed to vandalism. Graffiti can easily be removed without altering the properties of Trespa Meteon.

Safe fire behaviour

In a fire, Trespa Meteon does not melt, drip or explode and retains its stability for a long time. Key European testing bodies have awarded Trespa Meteon FR grade the most favourable classifications for organic material fire behaviour.

FAADE APPLICATIONS. Ventilated faade cladding.

The load-bearing structure of a building with an exterior insulation layer can be simply protected from weather influences by Trespa faade cladding. A ventilated cavity between the faade cladding and the insulation layer prevents rainwater from penetrating and diffuses water vapour from the inside to the outside. The presence of ventilation prevents damp from accumulating behind the panels. The subframe will not be affected or rot and the insulation material is prevented from getting wet. Good ventilation demands that there are openings in the upper and lower edges of the faade cladding. These are also necessary at the upper and lower edges of window and door openings. Joint profiles usually have an aesthetic function and are able to limit the amount of moisture that penetrates. However, these profiles are not essential to guarantee the water tightness of the faade. Moisture that penetrates is discharged through the ventilated cavity. A ventilated faade has the following physical and structural advantages: I No moisture problems in the faade structure as a result of internal condensation or rain penetration. I Movement of the main load-bearing structure is kept to a minimum by low temperature fluctuations. I Local cold bridges are kept to a minimum because the loadbearing structure is insulated on the outside.

Ventilation.
Good ventilation of the Trespa faade cladding may be obtained by following the guidelines listed below: I A continuous ventilated cavity of at least 20 mm should be present behind the faade cladding to prevent damage to the faade as a result of condensation in the cavity and/or rain penetration. I Ventilation openings may be reduced locally to 5 mm. I The upper and lower sides of the faade cladding and door and window openings should have ventilation openings that are in direct contact with the outside air. I On the one hand the size of the ventilation opening is determined by the height of the faade cladding, and on the other hand by local circumstances. Every linear metre should have at least: I 20 square cm/m of ventilation for faade cladding heights up to 1 metre; I 50 square cm/m of ventilation for faade cladding heights exceeding 1 metre. I Ventilation openings that are larger than 10 mm should be made in such a way that insects and vermin cannot get behind the faade cladding.

BETWEEN THE HORIZONTAL BATTENS

Fire precautions.
D1 10 Movement of fire within the cavity and/or insulation materials can possibly take place for multi- storey faades. Proven systems are developed to prevent this. These systems are constructed with incombustible insulation materials and continuous horizontal stainless steel fire breaks; Trespa panels contribute to the required resistance of fire breaking through.

Joints.
The following guidelines apply to joints and panel connections: I The panels should be able to move 2.5 mm per metre in the length and the width. Therefore sufficient space should be allowed for around the panels. I Panel, assembly and building tolerances play an important role in the joint details. The panels should also be able to move. Therefore a minimum joint width of 10 mm is required. I The joints should be such that sufficient ventilation and/or drainage is ensured in order to prevent damage as a result of retained moisture. I Insects and vermin may nestle behind the faade cladding. Joints that are larger than 10 mm should therefore be fixed with grilles, wire netting, etc. OPEN JOINTS The panel connections may either be open or sealed. If an open joint system is used for vertical and/or horizontal joints, specific attention should be paid to possible rain or moisture penetration. When the insulation becomes wet the insulation value decreases so no longer complies with standards. Moisture resistant insulation materials and subframes are therefore required. A vapour open foil can be used as a second water barrier. CLOSED JOINTS Tongued-and-grooved and halved joints With a minimum of 8 mm thick panel it is possible to have tongue-and-grooved joints on vertical edges or halved joints on the horizontal edges. This effects a closed joint system. The minimum dimensions for the joints are: I groove: 2.2 x 15 mm for closed aluminium tongues (panel thickness 8 mm) 3.2 x 15 mm for Trespa tongues (panel thickness 10 mm) I tongue: 2 x 30 mm for aluminium tongues 3 x 30 mm for Trespa tongues I height of halved joint: 20 mm Joint profiles Joints may be closed by fixing metal, plastic or rubber profiles. The profiles should not impede the movement of the panels and should be fixed free of tension. Mastic joints Mastic joints impede the movement of the panels and may lead to excessive dirt on the panel edges. This type of joint sealing is therefore specifically not recommended.

Corner solutions.
Panel connections at the corners of buildings may have either open or closed joints. Panels from 8 mm thickness are suitable for a fixed corner connection where a metal corner profile is fixed to the back of the panel with screws or inserts. Special allowances should be made for the differences in length. If one of the panels is then not able to move in one or more directions the width of the section in question may not exceed 300 mm. The delivery programme offers a Trespa corner profile element which can be used for a smooth corner detail.

FIXING SYSTEMS. General guidelines faade cladding.

The following aspects should receive attention when a faade construction consisting of Trespa panels, subframes and fixings are dimensioned: I The panels should be suitable for use as self-supporting, faade cladding. I When combined with the subframe the panel strength and rigidity should be sufficient to withstand normal loads such as wind, dead weight and/or impact, without being damaged. I The faade cladding should not have a structural function. I If heavy objects are to be suspended from the panels, additional facilities are usually required. I The maximum permissible impact loads on the panels and subframes can be determined by means of specific tests (usually the sandbag swing test). I Trespa Meteon Metallic panels feature a directional coloured surface. See page 6 for further information.

General guidelines fixing systems.

Trespa is assembled with corrosion resistant fixings on a suitable subframe in such a way that the panels are not under tension and are able to move freely. When determining the subframe the following should be kept in mind: I wind loading I the maximum fixing centres for the panels I the required ventilation provisions I unimpeded movement of the panels I the available panel dimensions I thickness of insulation material used, if any I the anchoring possibilities in the structural (wall) construction I legal requirements

Fixing Trespa panels may be fixed by the means given below. Variations and combinations of the methods are optional. The details in this brochure give the principles of the fixing systems and do not refer to trade names.

TS300: Blind fixing using profiled edges

8, 10 and 13mm thick panels can be installed by fitting their specially grooved horizontal edges into continuous aluminium TS-300 rails. The horizontal aluminium TS-300 rails can be fixed to a vertical timber or aluminium support construction. The grooved horizontal edges enable the panels to be attached to the aluminium rails, while hiding the rails from sight. The TS-300 fixing method is typically suited to install large uninterrupted faade surfaces with horizontal lines. General Joints: 10 mm Panel thicknesses: 8, 10 and 13mm Panel size The TS-300 fixing method can only be used for single-field spans. As a result, the maximum panel height is limited as indicated in the table below. The maximum panel width is 1500 mm.

PANELS IN FRAMES. Single-skin panels in frames.

Panels with a thickness from 6 mm can be placed into wood, metal and plastic frames. Single-skin panels are suitable for insulated as well as non-insulated walls. Ventilation behind the panel is always required. Therefore, cavities are made in the lower and upper horizontal profile. Water drains are also necessary in the lower horizontal profile. Durable EPDM gaskets close the gap between profile and panel, mastic and tape are not allowed for this.

Sandwich panels in frames.

Trespa sandwich panels are composed of a core of insulating material and Trespa sheets glued on both sides. Panels can be placed into wood, metal and plastic frames. Sandwich panels are very suitable for thermal insulation, fire retardant and acoustical use. Water drains are necessary in the lower horizontal profile always. Durable EPDM gaskets close the gap between profile and panel; mastic and tape are not recommended for this.

Deflection.
The maximum flexure (f) limit, measured at the horizontal surface of a faade panel between two fixing points (L), has been laid down. A minimum (wind) load should be taken into account to prevent the faade structure from not being strong enough. Faade cladding flexure: f L/200 Wind loads may be multiplied with 0.70 for calculating panel deflections, with respect to a minimum (wind) load of p 600 N/m2. Four sided supported panels: The graphs can be used for determining the thickness of a four sided supported panel. Determining the thickness, the shortest panel length (lx) may be multiplied by correction factors below after reading the graph: Relation l_ _y lx 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.8 2.0 2.5 correction factor for lx ADMITTED WIND LOAD (N/M2) 1.4 1.3 1.2 1.15 1.10 1.05 1.0

Load bearing of panels, supports and fixings included, has to take place in such a way that maximum loads do not exceed admitted strengths. The weight of a panel will be spread over several fixings and can be ignored in the calculation when a minimum (wind) load of 600 N/m2 is respected.
