A ROBUST A DURABLE MATERIAL
The HIMACS facade colour range withstands humidity, UV radiation or variations in temperature thanks to homogeneous, non-porous material and other advantageous properties.
EASY-TO-MAINTAIN
Easy to clean and maintain, the perfect function and visual effect will last for many years (even damage caused by graffiti can be removed without any trace).
EXTRA FIRE RESISTANT FORMULATION HIMACS FR
HIMACS FR- version sheets in S728 Alpine White comply with IMO Standard Modules B+D and M1. FR sheets are especially suitable for use in public-buildings, external facades and in the marine industry.
SUITABLE FOR FACADE
Fixed with Keil inserts and a BWM structure, HIMACS facade in S728 – Alpine White successfully passed the ETA tests (European Technical Agreement).
A LIVING MATERIAL FOR SHIMMERING FACADES
HIMACS has natural contraction and expansion properties related to temperature changes. When HIMACS is applied outdoors, thermal expansion is 30 x10-6 m/°C. A suitable fixing system must therefore be selected.
To build the HIMACS façades, LX Hausys suggests using a structure made from aluminium sheeting and a ventilated façade system using BWM fixings.
HIMACS panels are mounted — invisibly from the outside — to the aluminium substructure. We recommend using an invisible undercut anchor which is offered by Keil attachment technology.
WHAT ABOUT SEALS?
HIMACS does not recommend using glue on the outer facade because of expansion. We suggest leaving gaps of 8 to 10 mm between each panel.
