Interlocking Panel

Structuur’s linear characteristic is given a twist in the Interlocking Panel profile. Instead of fins joining each panel, this profile includes deep grooves that present an overall more sleek, flat and flush aesthetic. With the right colour and metal texture, the panels can resemble timber lining, the expressed joints creating a dramatic shadow effect. Interlocking Panel can be installed horizontally as well as vertically, for walls only. There are many ways this product can be customised to suit your unique requirements.

STRUCTUUR INTERLOCKING PANEL BASIC INSTALLATION SUMMARY

Structuur Interlocking Panel can be installed by individuals with the following skills:

  • A basic knowledge of construction principles.
  • The capability to use basic hand tools such as snips and basic roofing tools.
  • Knowledge of waterproofing principles and the ability to install watertight flashings.

Structuur Interlocking Panels are installed by fastening screws through the tab side of each panel using fixings appropriate to the type of substrate.

To install each sheet:

Slide the male side of the panel into the interlocking groove of the previously installed panel ensuring the substrate is straight, ideally within 2mm over the full length of the panel. Maintain panel alignment throughout installation. Provide and install watertight flashings as necessary. Structuur can provide flashing details on request.

Vertical Interlocking Panel Installation:

Install a foot mould flashing at the base of the wall, ensuring it remains level throughout. Use a laser level for accuracy. Plumb the first panel fixing it to the substrate in accordance with Structuur’s recommended span tables. For best results insert packers into the selected express joint size at each fixing location while fixing subsequent panels to the substrate to maintain a consistent express joint. Continue installing panels, ensuring each one remains plumb throughout the installation.

Horizontal Interlocking Panel Installation:

When installing in a horizontal orientation, the installation should commence from the top of the wall with the interlocking groove facing downward. Consider setting the wall out to finish with a panel of the desired width at the bottom of the wall. Level the first panel fixing it to the substrate in accordance with Structuur’s recommended span tables. For best results insert packers into the selected express joint size at each fixing location while fixing subsequent panels to the substrate to maintain a consistent express joint. Continue installing panels, ensuring each one remains level throughout the installation.

Installation requirements may differ based on the material being used.
