INTRODUCTION Catalog Prodema Prodex

PRODEX HPL EXTERNAL facade cladding

PRODEX HPL facade panels are a construction kit for ventilated facade cladding consisting of natural wood boards and an appropriate substructure. Each panel consists of a high density bakelite core, covered with a natural wood veneer with a surface coated with synthetic resin and an external PVDF film that provides greater durability to the panels, with anti-adhesive properties that protect the panel from solar radiation, atmospheric agents, dirt and attacks by chemical products (anti-graffiti). Due to its high resistance, it does not require the typical maintenance of other types of outdoor wood.
PRODEX veneered panels are unique, no two are the same, each grain is different, which explains the difference in shade between them and gives them a natural and authentic appearance that can be appreciated in the reflection of light on the wood fibers.
At Prodema we have invested a significant part of our resources in continuous improvement of the quality of our products, subsequently obtaining various certificates of tests carried out in independent laboratories.

This is because our philosophy of continuous improvement obliges us to obtain the most demanding quality certificates, such as the ISO 9001 quality management standard.

PRODEX SYSTEM CERTIFICATES
Due to the high quality of the PRODEX system, it meets the most demanding certifications in various countries.

Prodema carries out a comprehensive quality control process for PRODEX and offers a 10-year warranty**. If the panel is installed at an angle greater than 30º, the warranty will be reduced to 5 years due to
increased solar radiation and the possibility of water settling on the surface of the panels.

TECHNICAL DATA SHEETS Prodema Prodex HPL facade boards

BEFORE INSTALLING THE PRODUCT Prodema Prodex HPL wood-like

RECEIVING THE PROdema MATERIAL.
Check the condition of the shipment:
• In case of visible damage, leave details on the carrier’s waybill.
• In case of hidden damage, report it within 72 hours.

No claims for shipping damage will be accepted if any of these instructions are not followed.

HANDLING AND STORAGE of Prodema boards.

• PRODEX panels must be stored in a closed and air-conditioned room, at an ambient temperature of 10–25º C and air humidity of 30–70%.
• It is recommended to store PRODEX panels in their original packaging until installation. In the event that it is necessary to repack any panel, this should be done in the same conditions as in the original packaging.
• After opening the packaging, it is recommended to remove only those PRODEX panels that will be installed immediately. The remaining panels must be stored in the same conditions in their original packaging.
• PRODEX panels cannot be stored vertically, only horizontally on a pallet with supports
< 800 mm distance. Improper storage can cause deformation of the panels.
• The floor under the pallet must be free of materials and contaminants that can affect the stability of the pallet.

• During transport, PRODEX panels must be properly secured as they easily move when stacked, which can damage them. They must always be placed horizontally on a flat surface. • It is recommended to avoid exposing both sides of the PRODEX panel to different humidity and temperature conditions. When
PRODEX panels are fitted with fixings (such as hidden fixing clips), they must be stored face to face; back to back, using wooden or plastic supports placed between the panels at a maximum distance of 600 mm.
• These instructions also apply to cut panels.

RANDOM PLACEMENT OF PRODEMA HPL FACADE PANELS

PRODEX facade panels are manufactured from natural wood, therefore they may show differences in shade. Before production and installation, it is recommended to mix the panels in order to obtain an even distribution of shades throughout the facade. The following steps are described in detail below:
1. Number all pallets 1, 2, 3 etc. – The pallets must be stored throughout the production/installation process
in accordance with the requirements described in section 2.2.

2. Open pallet no. 1 and remove two panels – Place these two panels on a flat pallet, maintaining a maximum distance of 800 mm between the supports.

3. Turn over the third panel from pallet no. 1 without removing it from the pallet.

4. Close pallet no. 1 and store it in accordance with the packaging conditions given in section 2.2.
5. Repeat the same process with the remaining pallets, selecting them in random order until 10 to 20 panels have been removed. For example, if there are 20 pallets, remove panels from numbers 1, 8, 13, 15 and
20 or in another random order.

6. Mix the 10 to 20 removed panels and install them within 2 to 3 hours of removing the first panel.

7. Repeat the first six steps until all panels have been installed.

PRODEMA PRODEX Wood-like PANEL MODULE SIZE

Depending on the module size chosen for the façade, the aesthetic effect in most cases
is summarized as the following two options:
A. Installation of battens.

B. Installation of full-size panels or large modules.
