Planning and Engineering

What Should Be Considered for Large Architectural Projects?

Large components require early coordination between architecture, structural engineering, façade planning, fabrication and installation. Material selection, sheet thickness, substructure, fixing and movement allowance must be considered as one system.

  • Determine installation position, spans and design loads for the specific project.
  • Consider wind, snow, impact and, where applicable, overhead loads.
  • Allow for thermal expansion and sufficient movement.
  • Select suitable substructures, profiles and fixing systems.
  • Plan drainage, ventilation, connections and sealing carefully.
  • Check fire safety, approvals and local building regulations.
Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ zu LEXAN™ Film & Sheet for Large-Scale Architectural Projects

Which LEXAN™ Film & Sheet product is suitable for permanently weather-exposed architectural components?

For suitable exterior applications kommt insbesondere eine UV-protected product grade wie LEXAN™ EXELL™-D infrage. Die konkrete Eignung ist anhand des technischen Datenblatts und der Einbausituation zu prüfen.

When is LEXAN™ MARGARD™ Sheet appropriate?

LEXAN™ MARGARD™ Sheet is suitable where a durable coated surface is required in addition to high impact strength for visible or frequently used areas.

Can LEXAN™ Film & Sheet be used for large façade elements?

Use may be possible depending on the product grade and construction. Sheet thickness, support spacing, loads, fixing and thermal expansion must be engineered for the specific project.

Which approvals and verifications are required for architectural projects?

Required evidence depends on the application, building, installation position and local regulations. Structural design, fire safety, approvals and technical product documentation must be checked by the responsible specialists.
