KS36 Optimo

T5000

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.
