End support — horizontal layout of GS MW S/CH panels

Fixing of horizontally laid sandwich panels to an end support (terminal column of a hall). Panels terminate at the column with a ~20 mm gap, OB-17 flashing conceals the vertical joint. Typical for end segments of long hall walls.

End support — horizontal layout of GS MW S/CH panels

Junction function

End support (terminal column) = the point where a horizontally laid panel terminates at a structural column. The vertical joint between the panel and the column edge is concealed by the OB-17 cover flashing.

Vs intermediate support (p. 34, where the panel passes across the column continuing further along the hall) — the end support terminates the wall (e.g. at an entrance gate, at the gable wall of the hall).

Critical installation aspects

  • 20 mm gap between the panel edge and the column — required for thermal movement and installation tolerance.
  • OB-17 flashing approx. 60-100 mm wide; fixed with rivets to the panel and to the column.
  • Mineral wool (item 05) in the 20 mm gap — eliminates the thermal bridge at the column.
  • PES gasket (item 04) continued along the entire vertical edge of the panel.
  • Panel fasteners (item 06) densified within the 30 cm edge zone — structurally loaded edge zone.
