Aluminium
brackets are fixed with approved fasteners along the horizontal
axis of the support wall, spaced as structurally necessary.
In this regard, attention must be paid to the design of
fixed and floating points according to BS 8118:Part 1:
1991
Vertical aluminium ‘T’ section support profiles
are inserted into the brackets (a special receiver jaw
enables exact adjustment). Once the support profile is
aligned it is fixed with blind rivets or screws. The best
results are achieved if the 'T' sections are pre-punched
to the tile grid.
The Argeton tiles are mounted
on the substructure free of tension using self-tapping
stainless steel screws or aluminium hollow rivets, and
held in place at four points with proprietary clips. Tiling
of the façade is undertaken from the bottom of
the panel upwards.
