General information

This installation manual is suitable only for persons who have experience working with aluminium and related tools. The manual describes a general, standard installation, which must then be adapted to local conditions. 

  • Made-to-measure materials may not be returned or exchanged. 
  • Please handle all packages with care when transporting (see Storage and transport). 
  • All profile lengths must be checked before installation so that you can adjust for potential tolerances before installation. 
  • Structural requirements must be taken into account. 
  • Secure sheet metal parts to the scaffolding to prevent them from falling off or being blown away during high winds. 
  • Extruded aluminium profiles must be installed on a back-ventilated sub-structure framework made of timber or metal. 
  • Check the stability, accuracy and suitability (material compatibility) of the sub-structure framework before you begin the installation. 
  • Any unevenness in the sub-structure framework must always be smoothed out before installation. 
  • You must ensure that the joints are able to change in length when exposed to differences in temperature without being subject to stress. 
  • The profiles must be attached to the sub-structure framework using the fittings recommended by the manufacturer.
