Tritherm Spacer System℗ for horizontal external profile.

Guidance for specification option:

P600 + P601 Vertical Zeds at max 1200 mm crs fixed to StrongBak flanges; P546 Isopad with P157 HH Bracket (depth as required for thermal/acoustic performance)as required at max 600 mm crs fixed to vertical P600; Vertical Zed P600 + P601 fixed to P157 HHB..

A1-rated with thickness and performance specification as required to meet performance.

Guidance for specification option:

Contact manufacturer for details and insert details as required.

A1-rated with thickness and performance specification as required to meet performance.

Guidance for specification option:

A1-rated, thickness as required to meet U-value requirement, with minimum lambda of 0.040 for all calculation purposes and min density of 10-12 kg/m²:

• Within StrongBak™ Kassette: 33 kg/m³ density, use P211/ Insulation Pins with P534 Washer at three per m², bonded to liner sheet with P663 Adhesive.
• Outside StrongBak™ Kassette: thickness and specification as required to meet thermal and acoustic performance, allow 10% compression to ensure flutes of external profile are filled; use P211/Insulation Pins with P534 at three per m² mechanically fixed to StrongBak™ flanges.

Refer to the relevant U-value table in the supporting literature.

Required.

Not required.

StrongBak Integrated framing system (IFS).

Guidance for specification option:

 As required for horizontal irregular hole in wall type "openings" up to 3 m wide. With the largest unsupported unreinforced cut opening in a StrongBak (Subject to location(s) from grid) is 300 x 300 mm located central to each StrongBak

APL Spanbreakers.

Guidance for specification option:

As required by loadings to increase span capacity where required.

Steelworker to provide continuous hot rolled steel sections min 80 x 80 (x mm thick as required).

Guidance for specification option:

Steelworker to provide continuous hot rolled steel sections min 80 x 80 (x mm thk as required) to clear span as:

- At head + base of all elevations between columns to line up with column face.

- Around large openings such as loading doors and curtain wall areas

- To vertical continuous strip windows or openings

- To continuous horizontal strip windows in excess of 3M long ea strip

- At each corner column junction(s) – steelworker to include min 80 mm wide continuous angle welded or shot-fired to flange(s) of column(s) for StrongBak corner assembly(ies). The Contractor is to present dent free linings on completion.

DPC/VB membrane.

Guidance for specification option:

Where liner cannot drain to external due to steelwork positioning etc. Include for dpc/VB membrane to be securely fitted under and sealed to the liner in that location(s) to carry and drain any moisture etc, directly to external area(s). 

APL support flashings (minimum 3 mm-thick steel) to column faces and where required for fixing StrongBak™ to.
