WHAT IS A PORCELAIN PANEL RAINSCREEN SYSTEM?

Porcelain Panel Rainscreen Systems have been widely used throughout Europe for more than 20 years, combining

aesthetic appeal and continuous insulation features.

This highly engineered curtain wall system consists of an aluminum sub frame that is attached to the building using

aluminum profiles, separating the porcelain façade from the building structure. This creates an air cavity that removes

heat from solar radiation and promotes continuous drying of any moisture that may enter in the cavity through the tile joints.

This process, also referred to as chimney effect, ultimately provides top protection from thermal bridging of the building.

The tile will be adhered to one of four anchoring systems, which can be installed on any of these

building structures:

– Metal studs and traditional wood framing

– Masonry walls

– Brick walls

– Tilt up wall constructions

– CMU block walls

layer FUNCTIONS

A Porcelain Panel Rainscreen System is an articulated covering system requiring knowledge of the

characteristics of each single functional layer it is made up of:

– Covering or External Facing

– Metal Load-Bearing Structure and Anchoring Elements

– Air Gap

– Insulating Layer

– Perimeter or Curtain Wall (this will determine the kind of anchors to be used)

GHS — CONCEALED UNDERCUT ANCHOR SYSTEM– The GHS undercut anchor system uses horizontal rails, which are attached to the vertical T-Profiles and L-Brackets.

– C-Brackets fastened to the tile with the Keil concealed undercut tile transfers the load of the tile onto the curtain wall sub-frame.

– GHS System is used with 8mm and 10mm thick porcelain slabs.

GHV — EXPOSED ANCHOR SYSTEM– The GHV exposed anchors attach the porcelain tiles directly to the vertical T-Profiles.

– The exposed anchors are painted to match with the porcelain slabs color being installed. The horizontal rails are eliminated with the GHV exposed system.

– GHS System is used with 8mm and 10mm thick porcelain slabs.

anchoring SYSTEMS

GHL — STRUCTURAL SILICON ADHESION SYSTEM– Structural silicon is used in lieu of traditional mechanical anchors to adhere the 5’x10’x6mm thick porcelain slabs.

– The cut-to-size slabs are fabricated at the factory and shipped to the jobsite with the structural support frame already adhered.

– C-Brackets are screwed to the aluminum structural beams, which attach the slabs to the sub-frame horizontal rails located on the aluminum sub-frame.

GHS2 — CONCEALED ANCHOR SYSTEM– The GHS2 concealed anchor attaches the porcelain tiles directly to the vertical T-Profiles.

– The concealed anchor’s shape and size are system specific and support the proper weight.

– GHS2 system is used with 20mm thick porcelain slabs.
