Installing Filltect and Ceradir V

FILLTECT and CERADIR V are installed following the same logic and the same sequence of work. For the installer the process is practically the same; only certain clips, accessories and series-specific requirements change.

Cutting and preparation

Panels are cut and adjusted on site when the setting out requires it. The general recommendations below apply to installation work; the specific dimensions, spacings and requirements are in the current manual.
  • Tools and cutting method as set out in the current manual
  • Dust extraction and personal protective equipment
  • Storage and handling of the panel on site
  • Edge and trim treatment according to the series, the detail and the current manual

Cutting station on site: panels on trestles, saw and dust extraction
Cut with a suitable disc: clean, even edge with no visible chipping.

Mechanical fixing on site

  • The panels are installed with mechanical fixing, with no setting times for render mortars.
  • More predictable work sequence
  • Installation with mechanical fixing, with no wet coatings applied to the panels.
  • Panel + clip + subframe
  • Less dependence on drying processes

Installation is still subject to safety, wind, heavy rain, ice, access and storage. The real advantage is that the cladding does not need to cure or dry wet layers before work can continue.

Installation procedure

Installation is organised in eight stages, from checking the subframe to final cleaning. Fixings, spacings and construction details must comply with the current manual for the series, subframe and installation orientation used.
01
Checking the subframe
Check the plumb, alignment and position of the subframe profiles. Verify the anchors and fixings in accordance with the project and the installation manual.
02
Defining the panel layout
Define the modulation, joints and make-up pieces before installation. Take openings and corners into account to reduce unnecessary cuts and keep a uniform layout.
03
Installing the starter flashing
Position and level the flashing at the base of the facade. Keep the specified clearances from the finished ground level and from the panels to allow drainage and ventilation.
04
Setting out
Mark the horizontal and vertical reference lines for the starting row and panel placement. Use them to keep panels, joints and trims aligned throughout installation.
05
Installing trim profiles (external and internal corners, vertical joints, etc.)
Install the corner, joint and junction profiles before fitting the panels that depend on them. Select the pieces and their position according to the series and the construction detail.
06
Cutting and fitting the panels
Cut the panels with the tools specified in the manual, using dust extraction and suitable protective equipment. Observe the prescribed fixings and spacings, and treat the edges where the series requires it.
07
Touch-up painting and inspection
Inspect the surfaces and trims. Apply touch-up paint only where needed, using the product that matches the panel and following the manufacturer’s instructions.
08
Cleaning and waste management
Remove offcuts, dust and packaging waste. Clean the panels according to the manufacturer’s instructions and manage waste in line with site conditions.

Plan the work taking into account safety, weather conditions, access and panel storage.
