$\"Prodema$ <\/a><\/p>\n
For the successful installation of PRODEX panels, all instructions contained in this technical catalog must be followed without exception.<\/p>\n

INTRODUCTION Catalog Prodema<\/a> Prodex<\/h2>\n
PRODEX HPL EXTERNAL facade cladding<\/h4>\n
PRODEX HPL facade panels<\/strong> 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.
\nPRODEX veneered panels<\/strong> 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.
\n $\"prodema$ <\/a>At Prodema<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
PRODEMA HPL board dimensions<\/h3>\n
PRODEX panels<\/strong> are extremely versatile and can be cut to various shapes and sizes to adapt them to the needs of all projects. Always follow the cutting instructions provided in this technical catalogue (see section 2.4).

PRODEX SYSTEM CERTIFICATES
\nDue to the high quality of the PRODEX system, it meets the most demanding certifications in various countries.<\/h3>\n
$\"Prodema$ Prodema carries out a comprehensive quality control process for PRODEX and offers a 10-year warranty<\/strong>. If the panel is installed at an angle greater than 30\u00ba, the warranty will be reduced to 5 years due to
\nincreased solar radiation and the possibility of water settling on the surface of the panels.<\/p>\n

BEFORE INSTALLING THE PRODUCT Prodema Prodex HPL wood-like<\/h2>\n
RECEIVING THE PROdema MATERIAL.<\/strong>
\nCheck the condition of the shipment:
\n\u2022 In case of visible damage, leave details on the carrier’s waybill.
\n\u2022 In case of hidden damage, report it within 72 hours.<\/p>\n
No claims for shipping damage will be accepted if any of these instructions are not followed.<\/p>\n
HANDLING AND STORAGE of Prodema boards<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
$\"It$ <\/a>\u2022 PRODEX panels must be stored in a closed and air-conditioned room, at an ambient temperature of 10\u201325\u00ba C and air humidity of 30\u201370%.
\n\u2022 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.
\n $\"sk\u0142adowanie$ <\/a>\u2022 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.
\n\u2022 PRODEX panels cannot be stored vertically, only horizontally on a pallet with supports
\n< 800 mm distance. Improper storage can cause deformation of the panels.
\n\u2022 The floor under the pallet must be free of materials and contaminants that can affect the stability of the pallet.<\/p>\n
$\"Transport$ <\/a> $\"Prodema$ <\/a>\u2022 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. \u2022 $\"weather$ <\/a>It is recommended to avoid exposing both sides of the PRODEX panel to different humidity and temperature conditions. When
\nPRODEX 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.
\n\u2022 These instructions also apply to cut panels.<\/p>\n
RANDOM PLACEMENT OF PRODEMA HPL FACADE PANELS<\/h3>\n
PRODEX facade panels<\/strong> 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:
\n1. Number all pallets 1, 2, 3 etc. – The pallets must be stored throughout the production\/installation process
\nin accordance with the requirements described in section 2.2.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
3. Turn over the third panel from pallet no. 1 without removing it from the pallet.<\/p>\n
4. Close pallet no. 1 and store it in accordance with the packaging conditions given in section 2.2.
\n5. 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
\n20 or in another random order.<\/p>\n
6. Mix the 10 to 20 removed panels and install them within 2 to 3 hours of removing the first panel.<\/p>\n
7. Repeat the first six steps until all panels have been installed.<\/p>\n
PRODEMA PRODEX Wood-like PANEL MODULE SIZE<\/h3>\n
Depending on the module size chosen for the fa\u00e7ade, the aesthetic effect in most cases
\nis summarized as the following two options:
\nA. Installation of battens.<\/p>\n
B. Installation of full-size panels or large modules.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Natural wood will always show differences in shade between panels. This difference in colour between
\npanels is more visible when installing large-sized panels (photo on the right). However, the difference in
\ncolour will be minimised when smaller-sized panels are used (photo on the left). This is most noticeable
\nonly in the Rustik and Pale colours. If you wish to see smaller colour differences, a control sample
\nshould be sent with your material order. We will then make every effort to produce panels with a more uniform colour,
\nalthough there will always be variations.<\/p>\n
PRODUCTION of Prodema Prodex facades<\/h2>\n
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CUTTING PRODEMA PRODEX facade panels<\/h4>\n
The panels must be cut to square before cutting. Cuts on external panels must be made using tools with a material hardness of K – 05 and K – 01 (tungsten carbide \/ Widia), must be well sharpened and overheating must be avoided in any case.<\/p>\n
A. SAW
\nTypes of saws and blades:<\/p>\n
Circular saws for wood made of hard material (Widia tip) or saw blades designed for HPL boards
\n(high pressure laminate).
\nBlade parameters depending on the type of tool:<\/p>\n
DIAMETER TEETH SPEED BLADE THICKNESS TYPES OF TEETH<\/p>\n
$\"and$ <\/a>
1 ______ 2<\/p><\/div>\n
(mm) (z) (rpm) (mm)<\/p>\n
300 48 4000-6000 3.2 Alternate bevel teeth (1)<\/p>\n
250 40 \/ 48 4000-6000 3.2 and trapezoidal (2).<\/p>\n
190 30 3000-3500 2.2<\/p>\n
Positioning the Prodema panel<\/h4>\n
The saw blade must always start cutting from the front (face) side of the panel.
\n\u2022 Table saw: the front side of the panel must face up.
\n\u2022 Hand saw: the front side of the panel must face down.<\/p>\n
Cutting blade height:<\/h4>\n
$\"Prodema$ <\/a>
1-2cm<\/p><\/div>\n
To obtain a clean cut, we recommend that the blade height is 1-2 cm above the surface of the panel.<\/p>\n
After cutting the Prodex Prodema HPL board:<\/h4>\n
After cutting (cutting, drilling, edge grinding, if required), no other finishing or protective processing is required. Uneven edges can be smoothed with sandpaper.<\/p>\n
B. CNC Prodex panel<\/h4>\n
The PRODEX panel can be made using numerically controlled (CNC) machines. Make sure that the bits are always well sharpened.<\/p>\n
Recommended speeds when cutting Prodema Prodex facade panels:<\/h4>\n
\u2022 Cutting speed: 16,000 rpm.
\n\u2022 Feed speed: 4 m\/min.
\nIt is very important to avoid overheating the machine. The speeds recommended above must be monitored throughout the production process to ensure optimal results.<\/p>\n
C. ALTERNATIVE SYSTEMS<\/h4>\n
In addition to the systems already mentioned, there are other processing options. Not all of them are compatible with the material.
\n\u2022 Water jet cutting: this system is compatible with PRODEX panels, however it is advisable to carry out a test beforehand to adjust the parameters.
\n\u2022 Laser cutting: this system is not recommended for use on PRODEX panels, as it will blacken and burn the wood veneer<\/p>\n
DRILLING RECOMMENDATIONS Prodema Prodex<\/h3>\n
PRODEX panels are drilled using hard metal drills or steel drills with tungsten carbide tips (Widia) with a cutting angle greater than 100\u00ba. Drills for perforating metal can also be used.
\nTo avoid chipping the material to be drilled, it is best to use a support plate under the panel to obtain a clean hole (see figure 1). If a support plate is not used, the finished surface of the panel will face upwards (see Figure 2)<\/p>\n
$\"wiertenie$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n
Drilling speed recommendations:<\/h4>\n
\u2022 Cutting speed: 16,000 rpm. \/min.
\n\u2022 Feed speed: 4 m\/min.<\/p>\n
NOTE: Should only be used as a reference point as these will vary from tool to tool.<\/p>\n
INSTALLATION<\/h3>\n
PRODEX PRODEMA PRODUCT<\/p>\n
GENERAL<\/p>\n
PRODEMA VENTILATED FACADES<\/p>\n
Did you know that<\/strong>… the use of a ventilated fa\u00e7ade is essential for the installation of PRODEX panels?<\/p>\n**
To ensure good performance of this type of panel, it is very important that the humidity and temperature differences between the two surfaces are minimal. A ventilated facade has several advantages over a conventional facade:<\/p>\n
Waterproofness to rain of ventilated facades.<\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a><\/strong>
\nA ventilated facade provides better water resistance to rain and prevents water from entering
\nthe air chamber.
\n\u2022 Ensures good diffusion of water vapor from the interior of the building to the outside.
\n\u2022 A ventilated facade generates constant air ventilation and prevents
\nstagnant moisture or damp insulation.
\n\u2022 Reduces thermal bridges to a minimum<\/p>\n
Improved acoustic insulation <\/strong>
\n\u2022 Thermal insulation
\nGenerates energy savings of up to 50%* by absorbing less heat in the summer and dissipating less heat in the winter.
\n\u2022 Easy assembly and disassembly and a good solution for renovations<\/p>\n
$\"Prodema$ In summer or during hot weather, the sun shines on PRODEX panels instead of the building. This solar radiation heats the air in the air chamber, generating a “chimney” effect due to the change in its density. The ventilation created in this way prevents heat from accumulating on the facade, which, together with thermal insulation, is an ideal combination protecting the building from atmospheric factors.<\/p>\n
In winter or during frosts, the ventilated fa\u00e7ade acts as a heat accumulator, because the air chamber supports the thermal stability of the system. This ventilated fa\u00e7ade construction system, together with thermal insulation, prevents heat loss from the building.<\/p>\n
* Depending on the direction in which the building faces, the insulation used and the number of doors, windows, etc.
\nDid you know that…<\/strong> a ventilated fa\u00e7ade requires unobstructed, continuous airflow to ensure proper performance?
\n\u2022 The airflow space behind the panel must be at least 20 mm. Please note that national or local regulations must be observed.
\n\u2022 Leave a 20 mm opening at the top and bottom of the fa\u00e7ade, as well as at door and window openings. This is critical to ensure the required airflow.
\n\u2022 The substructure used to create the airflow space must be installed in a vertical direction. If conditions require horizontal strips, they will require drainage holes allowing 20 cm2\/m on facades up to a height of 1 m and 50 cm2\/m on facades above 1 m. _elewacje_wentylowane-27.jpg”> $\"prodema$ SUPPORT

EXPANSION JOINTS Prodex Prodema boards<\/h3>\n $\"\"$ DIMENSIONAL STABILITY<\/h3>\n
PRODEX<\/strong> is finished with natural wood veneer and will be subject to dimensional changes due to temperature and humidity fluctuations. The maximum dimensional change in the longitudinal direction is 0.30%, and in the transverse direction 0.60%.<\/p>\n
$\"Veneer$ <\/a>
Veneer Grain Directions<\/p><\/div>\n
These minor dimensional changes do not affect either the aesthetics or the performance of the panels. It is therefore very important to take into account the expansion joints indicated by Prodema.<\/strong><\/p>\n
PRODEX is resistant to steam, water, snow and ice. However, we do not recommend permanently or for long periods of time immersing the panels in any of these conditions, as a darker colour may appear along the edges of the panel surface.<\/p>\n
SUBSTRUCTURE OPTIONS Ventilated facades<\/h3>\n
Since PRODEX panels require a ventilated facade for installation, the battens used as a substructure
\nmust be installed vertically. The attachment of the battens to the substrate must be done using fasteners suitable for the material used.<\/p>\n
The substructure system must comply with local wind load requirements and building regulations.
\nThe installation method, thickness and dimensions of the panel will also be taken into account. Finally, the substructure system components must be protected against corrosion, regardless of the material or type of installation.<\/p>\n

This type subframe requires treated timber. PVC or closed cell polyethylene foam sealant is required between the batten and the back of the panel to act as a moisture barrier.<\/p>\n
A universal bracket can be used if necessary to correct unevenness in the surface alignment.<\/p>\n
MINIMUM NUMBER OF SUPPORT POINTS FOR A PRODEMA HPL PANEL<\/h3>\n
The panel should be supported by the maximum area of \u200b\u200bthe subframe element, regardless of the system. According to the diagram, at least 3 supports are required, vertically and horizontally. $\"parklex\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n
If the width of the panel is within the specified dimensions (as shown in the diagram below), only two support points are required.
\nEXCEPTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n
CONICAL AND TONGUE HEAD SCREWS for ventilated facades<\/h3>\n
Prodema does not allow the installation of tongue-and-groove panels on external facades. This system is
\nfixed with countersunk screws that prevent the panels from moving, and they are also
\nscrewed only around the perimeter of the female connector, not the male connector; which is insufficient for the PRODEX panels to function properly according to our recommendations.<\/p>\n

PRODEX VISIBLE FASTENING WITH SCREWS OR RIVETS<\/h3>\n
$\"This$ <\/a>This type of installation involves securing the PRODEX panels with exposed screws or rivets. The screws and rivets* are made of stainless steel and can be ordered in a colour that matches the panels.<\/p>\n
The distance between screws or rivets, both horizontally and vertically, varies depending on the thickness of the panel.
\n\u2022 Each element must have at least 3 support points in each direction.
\n\u2022 Never use countersunk screws to secure PRODEX.<\/p>\n
Rivets should only be used with metal subframes, not with wooden subframes.<\/p>\n
Distances of screws and rivets from the edges of Prodex Prodema panels<\/h4>\n
$\"distances$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Diameter of screw\/rivet holes<\/h3>\n
The holes for exposed fastening screws must be drilled 3 mm larger than the diameter of the screw shank. This allows the panel to expand and contract freely.
\nException: the geometric center hole is permanently fixed and will be the same size as the screw shank. This fixed point ensures that the movement of the panel is evenly distributed.<\/p>\n
Follow the drilling instructions.<\/p>\n

The guide rail is horizontal and mounted above <\/a>main vertical aluminum subframe. Two diagonally installed self-tapping screws are used to attach the guide rail to the subframe.<\/p>\n
Mounting the hanging hooks
\nThe hanging hooks are attached to the back of the panel. Since the PRODEX material is very hard, a blind perforation must be made before screwing in the panel screws. It is very important to clean the holes
\nbefore screwing in the screws. Here are the different methods for attaching the hanging hooks:<\/p>\n

$\"FIXED$ <\/a>FIXED BLINDS SYSTEM HPL elevation Prodex Prodema<\/h3>\n
This system allows the installation of PRODEX panels as fixed blinds. The system is versatile enough to allow for horizontal or vertical blinds with angles of 0\u00b0, 30\u00b0 or 60\u00b0.<\/p>\n
$\"The$ <\/a>
The blinds are supplied in 10 mm thickness and 3 different widths. The blinds can be finished
on one or both sides<\/p><\/div>\n
The blind system is assembled in three simple steps:<\/p>\n
1. Preparing the substructure
\n2. Installing the hardware for the blind slats
\n3. Installing the blind system<\/p>\n

PREPARING THE PRODEX SUBSTRUCTURE<\/h3>\n
Installing the profiles to the building.<\/p>\n
The first step is to assemble the fa\u00e7ade substructure system using L-brackets to secure the aluminium profiles to the substrate. The profiles are attached to the L-brackets using 25 mm long T-M28 screws and tightened using DIN 125 A washers and DIN 943 nuts. The distance between the profile and the ground will vary depending on the selected L-bracket length.<\/p>\n
ngg_shortcode_4_placeholderThe orientation of the blinds determines whether the profiles are installed vertically or horizontally.
\nHorizontal blinds require vertical profiles, while vertical blinds require horizontal profiles.<\/p>\n

<\/a > INSTALLATION OF PROFILES FOR
VERTICAL BLINDS<\/p><\/div>\n
Accessories are available in mill, black, RAL or FUTURA.<\/p>\n
It is very important that the profiles are perfectly aligned, otherwise the blinds will be uneven.
\nFixed blinds also require vertical and horizontal gaps between joints and air space behind the panels to aid ventilation.<\/p>\n
Installation of base elements for Prodema mounting profiles.<\/h3>\n
$\"After$ <\/a>After installing the profiles, the angle or flat base parts must be installed. These parts are attached to the profiles by inserting DIN 7981 austenitic stainless steel fasteners into the holes on each side (see the image below). note that the profiles are supplied with pre-drilled holes every 20mm. Although this distance is standard, the profiles can be supplied unperforated, on request.<\/p>\n
INSTALLATION OF BLIND SLAT FITTINGS Prodex Prodema<\/h3>\n
$\"The$ <\/a>
\u2022 Each slat must be supported by 3 louver clips. Exception: 2 louver clips may be used , when the length is \u2264 305 mm.<\/p><\/div>\n
The hooks used to attach the blind to the subframe are attached to the rear side of the blind slat. Each PRODEX blind must have four hooks attached to the rear side. The distance between the end hooks and the edges of the panel does not may exceed 40 mm. One of the two middle louver hooks must be the middle louver hook, which has two hooks to prevent the panel from moving. Two TB-A2 TX 30 screws of 9.5 mm length will be used to attach the hooks to the PRODEX louver. Before inserting screws should be made blind perforation with a diameter of 5\u20135.1 mm. A 2 mm area of \u200b\u200bthe full panel must remain between the blind perforation and the surface of the blind.<\/p>\n

HAPPY SYSTEM Prodex Prodema Facades<\/h3>\n
<\/a>This system is designed to be installed as a traditional plank facade and uses 8mm thick PRODEX panels with hidden fixing.<\/p>\n
INSTALLING THE SUBFRAME Prodema Prodex HPL facade panels<\/h3>\n
Start by using the standard wooden or metal subframe required for visible installation.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_6_placeholder\n
$\"For$ <\/a>
For panels 2440 mm long, the battens must be 60 mm wide. The distance between the battens must not exceed 600 mm. Each panel must be supported by at least three vertical battens.<\/p><\/div>\n
$\"mounting$ <\/a>

INSTALLING THE PRODEX STRIPS<\/h3>\n
First, fit the anchor clips<\/strong> that will hold the panels. These stainless steel clips are finished in black and supplied by Prodema. The anchor clips are attached to the channels, starting from the bottom of the elevation. As the clips will hold the panels in place, it is essential that they are perfectly aligned. It is recommended to insert a block of wood behind the first clip to act as a stop.<\/p>\n
The anchor clips are not supplied by Prodema.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_7_placeholder\n
THREE PRODEX PRODEMA INSTALLATION PATTERNS<\/h3>\n
Thanks to the versatility of the system, it is possible to obtain different panel patterns without having to change the position of the strips (the offset pattern must be a multiple of 600 mm).<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_8_placeholder\n
UNIQUE PRODEX PRODEMA FACADES. UNIQUE SHAPES.<\/h3>\n
PRODEX material is so versatile that it allows creating unique facades<\/strong> by producing
\npanels in an infinite number of shapes. In this type of production, it is very important to follow the instructions. $\"The$ <\/a><\/p>\n
Production of HPL PRODEX panels<\/h3>\n
There are a number of limitations and requirements that must be taken into account when manufacturing PRODEX panels
\nfor outdoor use.
\nIt is important to remember that each perforation increases the percentage of exposed edges to UV conditions
\nand moisture. This makes the panel more susceptible, so we recommend the following parameters to ensure the stability of the panel.<\/p>\n
1. The fabrication must be carried out by a professional using the appropriate tools.<\/p>\n
2. If the percentage of the perforation pattern is > 20%, contact Prodema for recommendations.<\/p>\n
3. All types of perforation patterns will require a solid 75 mm border along the perimeter
\nof the panel.<\/p>\n
4. The distance between perforations must never be less than 75 mm.<\/p>\n
5. If the fabrication consists of perforations, the maximum diameter of each one must not be greater than 150 mm.<\/p>\n
6. The maximum width of the panel opening must not exceed 30%. If the panel requires a non-standard design as described in this document, approval must be obtained from Prodema’s technical department.<\/p>\n
$\"Perforowana$ <\/a><\/p>\n
Cracks caused by stress – cutting holes in HPL boards Prodex<\/h3>\n
If the panel must be perforated for aesthetic or functional reasons (vents,
\ninstallation of signs, lighting, etc.), it is very important to follow the recommendations below to avoid cracking the panel due to excessive stress.<\/p>\n
HOLES, GROOVES, etc.:<\/strong>
\nIf you have to cut holes, grooves, etc., it is very important to avoid leaving sharp edges.<\/p>\n
The corners of the holes should be softened by cutting the largest possible radius, minimum<\/p>\n
5 mm.<\/p>\n
GROOVES AT THE EDGE:<\/strong>
\nIt is possible that in some cases, always with the consent of the Prodema Technical Department, it will be necessary to perform machining to add a groove to the edge of the PRODEX panels (for example in the case of the installation of Clapboard facades). In these cases, it is also very important to avoid sharp edges and try to maximize their size, with a minimum recommended of 1 mm.<\/p>\n
Prodex SUSPENDED CEILINGS<\/h3>\n
The versatility of the PRODEX system allows the panel to be installed as a suspended ceiling. Choose the installation method that best suits your project and follow the recommendations listed below<\/p>\n
$\"sufity$ <\/a>Prodex EXPOSED FASTENING<\/h4>\n
When installing PRODEX panels as a suspended ceiling, follow the instructions. It is also important to remember that the supporting structure supporting the panels is always installed perpendicular to the wood grain.<\/p>\n
The recommended thickness of the PRODEX panel for an exposed ceiling is 8 mm (min.) and 14 mm (max.). The recommended distance between the fixing points is given in the table below.<\/p>\n
THICKNESS of the Prodex board (mm)<\/strong> 8, 10 12 14
\nDISTANCE BETWEEN STRIPS (mm)<\/strong> \u2264 600 \u2264 800 \u2264 1000<\/p>\n
\u2022 Each panel must have at least 3 support points in each direction.
\n\u2022 Never use countersunk screws to fix PRODEX.<\/p>\n
Perimeter Ventilation and Expansion Joints<\/h3>\n
A minimum of 20mm of open joint is required around the perimeter of the ceiling to allow ventilation and to create similar temperature and humidity conditions on both surfaces of the panels.<\/p>\n
Unobstructed 6-8mm expansion joints between panels are also required for ventilation purposes.<\/p>\n
* Rivets are only used with metal sub-frames, not timber sub-frames.<\/p>\n
HIDDEN FIXING WITH Prodex Prodema NUTS<\/h3>\n
$\"sufit$ <\/a>This system allows the installation of 10-12 mm thick PRODEX panels as a suspended ceiling, using caps to hide the fasteners.<\/p>\n
It should be noted that the subframe supporting the panels is always installed perpendicular to the wood grain.<\/p>\n
In addition, it should also be taken into account that the battens that serve as support respect the recommended distances given in the table below.<\/p>\n

HIDDEN FIXING USING PRODEX HANGING PROFILES<\/h3>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a>Ceilings can also be installed as a hidden system.<\/p>\n
Securing PRODEX panels $\"1.$ <\/a><\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
1. Attach the hanging hooks on the back of the panel to the guide rail, pressing upwards with even and continuous pressure until the hooks and the track anchor together. 2. Slide the hanging hook until it is snug against the guide rail. 3. Once the pieces are anchored, aligned and in their final position, they should be secured in place. We recommend using an austenitic stainless steel self-tapping screw, inserting it into the middle upper suspension hook and securing it to the horizontal guide rail.<\/p>\n
The recommended thickness of PRODEX panels for this application is 10, 12 or 14 mm, and the distance between the hanging hooks is in accordance with the table below:<\/p>\n
THICKNESS (mm) 10 12 14
\nDISTANCE BETWEEN HANGING HOOKS (mm) \u2264 600 \u2264 800 \u2264 1000<\/p>\n
