Attachment of AMROC-PANELEN

In principle the fasteners used on common wood fiber boards are suitable.

For nailing and stapling, the boards should rest tightly on the underlying structure. When applied outdoors or in moist rooms, corrosion-resistant fasteners should be used. The ends of the boards should never be located between supporting beams.

Nailing

For nailed industrial connections the boards should be pre-drilled with 0,8 x the nail diameter. The board thickness should be at least 4 x the nail diameter. For nails, round wire nails Type B according to DIN 1151 with a diameter of > 2.2 mm x the nail diameter as well as special nails according to DIN 1052-2 may be used.

Stapling

The very economical fixed method of stapling is not just used for simple fastening. Stapling is frequently applied in factory assembly. For durable fastening, the staples should be driven in at 30° angles and leveled to the surface of the board, using electrical or pneumatic tools. Thickness limits are 10 - 20 mm (3/8 > ± -7/8 > ± ). Particularly suitable are resin-coated staples. Staples according to DIN 1052-2 with a wire diameter of > 1.8 mm may be used.

Screwing

Screws according to DIN 1052-2 with pre-drilled holes of 1,2 x screw diameter may be used. For screwing with electrical power-tools, no pre-drilling is necessary, if the self-tapping screws are permitted for use in construction work. Recommendation: Particle board screws of 4 x 35, 4 x 45 and 4 x 55.

The use of screws with countersunk heads (and similarly nail and staple fixing) depending on the underlying construction, allows the boards only a very limited movement due to moisture changes. Fastening with flat-head façade screws combined with pre-drilling (holes larger than the screw shaft) enables a pressure-free assembly and enables the boards to absorb the movements of swelling and shrinking. Recommendation: 5.5 x 35 and 5.5 x 45.

For façades higher than 8 m (26 ’ 0 ” ) the stability of the connections must be individually proven.

According to the General Manufacturing Permit Z-9.1-285 and Z-9.1-490 by the German Institute for Building Tech-nology AMROC-PANELS may be used as supporting and stiffening cladding of wooden walls in accordance with DIN 1051-1 to – 3: 1988-04 – for wooden constructions. The application of supporting and consolidating cladding always requires engineered calculations.
