The panels have an integrateddecorative surface.Trespa Meteon is used for faade cladding, fascias, soffits,balcony panels and balustrades, urban furniture, sandwichpanels and a wide range of other exterior applications. Trespa Meteon is highly suited for ventilated facade systems.These breathing or envelope systems offer possibilities forhigh insulation values, perfect building physics and contributeto a healthy indoor climate. In Summer, excessive solar heat can be vented away through theventilation between the panels and the insulation materials.Trespa Meteon is available in more than 50 colours, with one or both decorative surfaces. The panels have a finely structuredsurface (satin). For high quality architectural applicationsTrespa developed an entire new concept: INSPIRATIONS. At the moment Trespa introduces five different kinds of faadecladding panels through Inspirations: Naturals, Metallics,Natural Prints, Gloss and Rock. Please contact Trespa forfurther information. The delivery programme of Trespa Meteonfurthermore offers a standard type with black core and a fireretardant panel with brown core.Trespa also offers Meteon corner profile elements that meet thesame high standards of Trespa Meteon flat panels. They areavailable with double-sided colour and Satin structure. Standardcorner profile element sizes: 3650 x 300 x 300, radius 20 mm.Standard corner profile element thicknesses: 8 and 10 mm.Application and delivery programme.D15D16OptimizingFixingTrespa Meteon Metallicsand Naturals cornerprofilesOrdering Trespa Meteon MetallicsWarranteesTrespa Meteon Metallics and Naturals panels feature a directionalcoloured surface. In order to achieve te same orientation of thepanels please take notice of the following points:When optimizing Trespa Meteon Metallics and Naturals panelsthe direction should always be taken into account. Arrows onthe back side of the fullsize panels have been applied by Trespa toindicate the direction the sheets have been produced (illustration 1)When cutting the sheets we advise you to temporarily mark theoriginal production direction on the visible side of theindividual panels. The fixing of the panels in the same directionwil be easier and this way there will be no undesirable colourdistinction (illustration 2). All other instructions for processingand fixing are as standard Trespa Meteon panels.Corner profile and sheet lenghts have corresponding direction.The quantity of Trespa Meteon Metallics sheets required for aproject should be ordered and supplied as a single instruction.Thanks to practical experience over many years and the highquality of Trespa Meteon panels, warrantees are available bothfor the product range in general and for specific projects. Moreinformation can be obtained from your local Trespa office orrepresentative.Fabrication and installation of Trespa Meteon Metallics and Naturals.Illustration 1Illustration 2Service and guarantees.D17The technological quality.Environmental considerationsBuildingcertificatesEnvironmental considerations play a significant role in thedevelopment and manufacture of Trespa Meteon. Panels consistof approximately 70% softwood fibre and 30% thermosettingresin. The wood fibre comes from fast-growing pine woodfrom European production forests. Overall some 85% of theused raw materials are rapidly renewable. In addition up to10% of residual materials from production are recycled toproduce new Trespa construction panels.Trespa International was one of the first producers of panelmaterial to be certified according to ISO 14001, awarded byLloyds Register. The ISO 14001 standard describes the stepsrequired for setting up, implementing, maintaining and improvinga completely integrated environmental management system. At end of their life cycle Trespa Meteon panels can be thermallyrecycled with energy recovery locally in an industrial incineratoras they contain no heavy metals, halogens or biocides.Trespa International is able to provide information about thecharacteristics of Trespa Meteon, its safety and effect on theenvironment and has available full product Life Cycle Analyses(LCAs).All major European certification institutes which form theEuropean Union of Agrment (UEATC) have certified bothTrespa Meteon and its recommended fixing systems. Certificatesare issued by amongst others: KOMO; DIBt; BUtgb; BBA;CSTB and TORROJA.D18Weather resistantEasy to keep cleanVandalismSafe fire behaviourThe technical quality.Trespa Meteon is extremely weather resistant. Neither sun, rain including acid rain nor moisture have any effect on the panelssurface or core. Both the UV resistance and colour stability arevery high with a 4-5 classification on the International GreyScale (ISO 105 A 02). Large or rapid temperature fluctuationsfrom -20C to +80C do not affect the properties, stability orappearance of the panel. Colours will not change significantly forat least ten years, even under the most severe climatic conditions,or in heavily polluted industrial areas.The smooth panel surface has a closed non-porous structure,ensuring that practically no dirt accumulates. Neither the surfacenor the sawn edges need to be painted or provided with aprotective cover. Trespa Meteon is completely unaffected byhousehold cleaning agents or strong organic solvents.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 propertiesof Trespa Meteon.In a fire, Trespa Meteon does not melt, drip or explode andretains its stability for a long time. Key European testing bodies have awarded Trespa Meteon FRgrade the most favourable classifications for organic materialfire behaviour.+50C+40C+30C+20C+10C0C- 10C+70C+60CPsPw+20CRH = 60%-10CRH = 80% 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 ofinternal condensation or rain penetration.I Movement of the main load-bearing structure is kept to aminimum by low temperature fluctuations.I Local cold bridges are kept to a minimum because the load-bearing structure is insulated on the outside.Ventilated faade cladding.FAADE APPLICATIONS.TEMPERATURE DEVELOPMENT IN SUMMER AND WINTERTemperature development in summerTemperature development in winterMOISTURE LOADS ON FAADE STRUCTURERainResidentialmoisturePs = maximum vapour tensionPw = actual vapour tensionPs>Pwno internal condensationVENTILATIONVENTILATIOND19D110Good 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 bepresent behind the faade cladding to prevent damage to thefaade 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 isdetermined by the height of the faade cladding, and on theother hand by local circumstances. Every linear metreshould have at least:I 20 cm2/m of ventilation for faade cladding heights up to 1 metre;I 50 cm2/m of ventilation for faade cladding heights exceeding 1 metre.I Ventilation openings that are larger than 10 mm should bemade in such a way that insects and vermin cannot getbehind the faade cladding.Fire precautions.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.BETWEEN THE VERTICAL BATTENSBETWEEN THE HORIZONTAL BATTENSVentilation.D111a10 mmf 8 mmafaaaa 10 mmb15 mmc 2,9 mmd2,2 mme 2 mmf 8 mmaaabeccd fa2a2a2a2aThe following guidelines apply to joints and panel connections:I The panels should be able to move 2.5 mm per metre in thelength and the width. Therefore sufficient space should beallowed for around the panels.I Panel, assembly and building tolerances play an importantrole in the joint details. The panels should also be able tomove. Therefore a minimum joint width of 10 mm is required.I The joints should be such that sufficient ventilation and/ordrainage is ensured in order to prevent damage as a result ofretained moisture.I Insects and vermin may nestle behind the faade cladding.Joints that are larger than 10 mm should therefore be fixedwith grilles, wire netting, etc.OPEN JOINTSThe panel connections may either be open or sealed. If an openjoint system is used for vertical and/or horizontal joints, specificattention should be paid to possible rain or moisture penetration.When the insulation becomes wet the insulation value decreasesso no longer complies with standards. Moisture resistantinsulation materials and subframes are therefore required. A vapour open foil can be used as a second water barrier.CLOSED JOINTSTongued-and-grooved and halved jointsWith a minimum of 8 mm thick panel it is possible to havetongue-and-grooved joints on vertical edges or halved joints onthe horizontal edges. This effects a closed joint system. Theminimum 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 tongues3 x 30 mm for Trespa tonguesI height of halved joint: 20 mmJoint profilesJoints 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 jointsMastic joints impede the movement of the panels and may leadto excessive dirt on the panel edges.

See page 6 for further information.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 loadingI the maximum fixing centres for the panelsI the required ventilation provisionsI unimpeded movement of the panelsI the available panel dimensionsI thickness of insulation material used, if anyI the anchoring possibilities in the structural (wall)constructionI legal requirementsFixingTrespa panels may be fixed by the means given below.

Fixing the Trespa panels to wood or metal subframes is therefore only possible when: I for reasons of safety two screws or rivets are fixed to thetop edge of every panelI the maximum specified panel dimensions have not beenexceeded so that the panels are able to move freelyI the bonded joint is made verticallyI the guidelines specified by the adhesive manufacturers andadvised by Trespa are adhered toGeneralJoints: minimum 10 mmPanel thickness: from 6 mmPanel dimensions: maximum length 2550 mm, maximum surface 2.5 m2.Fixing and distances from the edgea= horizontal fixing centre (see table)d= edge clearance: minimum 20 mmx= panel widthy= panel heightmaximum fixing centres ( in mm)* panel thickness (in mm)6 8 102 fixings in one direction 450 600 6503 or more fixings in one direction 550 650 650* See also chapters Deflection and Wind loads.Fixing detailAt least two mechanical fixings (screws) in the upper edge of the panelDiameter of the hole for the screws:I 8 mm for fast fixing screw for TrespaI shank diameter of the screw + 3mm for other screwsPlaned timber battens minimum:I end battens: 45 x 28 mmI intermediate battens: 55 x 28 mmI intermediate panel jointing battens: 85 x 28 mmD13014536721 368D131TS400: Invisible fixing withadhesive and screws.HORIZONTAL CROSS-SECTIONFaade details1.
