KS36 Optimo |
 |
APPLICATIONS:
KS36 Optimo panel system represents a dramatic breakthrough; pre-engineered
cladding systems, delivering a flat, clean, smooth aesthetically appealing
and modern result. This architectural panel system allows the architect
freedom and design flexibility. The Optimo systems with their slim
sight lines create a visually striking appearance for the building’s
all important wall envelope.
Optimo panels horizontally or vertically applied use a patented double interlocking seal.
CONSTRUCTION:
Optimo panels are constructed with a non-CFC thermosetting polyurethane
insulation that meets US and Canadian building code requirements. Steel
facings are precisely roll formed and foam insulation is expanded between
the metal sheets in a state-of-the-art continuous line production sequence
that is fully computerized to ensure optimum quality and consistency
in every panel.
INSULATION:
Optimo panels with polyurethane insulation are offered in thicknesses
of 2”, 2-1/2” & 3” providing the highest R-value
of any commonly available insulation product.
FACINGS:
Optimo panels have standard 22 gauge face of flat smooth galvanized steel
to ASTM A653 G-90 or galvalume designation. The base steel is a structural
quality to a minimum Grade “A” 33 ksi, conforming to ASTM
A924. Consult factory for optional panel facings of stainless steel
in various gauges.
COATING SYSTEMS:
Standard Optimo panel coating systems include “Kynar 500” PVF2
finishes with high performance properties and a 20 year manufacturers’ warranty
covering color retention, chalk resistance and film integrity. Silicone
modified polyester (SMP), polyester and plastisol finish coatings also
offer outstanding performance and extended warranties. Metallic and exotic
color coatings are readily available to the designer.
PANEL DESIGN:
Optimo panels utilize a superior joint design with a hidden fastener
anchorage affording connection of both metal skins to the building
structure, and a caulked seal provision that provides excellent air
infiltration and water penetration test results. Panels come in a flat
smooth profile on the exterior face and Shadowline stucco embossed
profile on the interior face.
Panel coverage is available in standard 36" width. 24"& 30" coverage is optional.
