Visible assembly with rivets
FIX – rivet – MVF
It consists of attaching the cladding board to the substructure using blind rivets painted in the color of the cladding. It can be used for all types of cladding.
Riveting facade panels is a popular solution in the construction of ventilated facades. This process involves attaching panels to the substructure using special rivets. Here are the main stages of this installation:
- Preparation of Panels: The facade panels are properly prepared and holes are drilled on their edges through which the rivets will pass.
- Preparation of the Substructure: Special profiles and strips are placed on the façade substructure, usually made of aluminium or steel, to which the panels will be attached.
- Rivet Panel Installation: The panels are then attached to the substructure by driving rivets through holes in the panels and substructure. The rivets are tightened, permanently securing the panels in place.
Advantages of Rivet Mounting:
- Structural Stability: Riveted installation ensures a solid and durable connection, which makes the facades resistant to weather conditions.
- Quick Installation: The process can be relatively quick, which translates into reduced construction time.
- Easy Maintenance: Should the panels need to be replaced or repaired, dismantling using rivets is relatively simple.
Disadvantages of Rivet Mounting:
- Visibility Rivets: Rivets are visible from the outside, which can affect the aesthetics of the façade, especially if there is a preference for invisible installation.
- Potential Damage: Rivets can corrode which can lead to them becoming damaged and requiring replacement.
- Panel Thickness Limitations: Rivet installation may be more complicated for very thin or thick panels.
- Difficult to Clean: Debris build-up around the rivet can make keeping the façade clean a challenge.
To sum up, installing facade panels with rivets has both advantages and disadvantages that are worth considering in the context of a specific construction project.
