Industrial gate post — horizontal GS MW S/CH panel layout

Side jamb of an industrial gate in a hall with horizontal panel layout — analogous to the vertical layout (p. 25), differing only in panel orientation. OB-21 gate flashing covers and seals the junction, mineral wool fills the installation gap.

Industrial gate post — horizontal GS MW S/CH panel layout

Junction function

Gate post in horizontal layout = analogous construction to the vertical version (p. 23). The differences:

  • Horizontal panels meet the gate column on their shorter edge (typical 1 m module).
  • OB-21 gate flashing identical to the vertical version.
  • Mineral wool installed on site in the gap between panels and gate column.

For key installation aspects — see vertical gate post (p. 23).

Critical installation aspects

  • OB-21 dedicated gate flashing — reinforced for forklift traffic.
  • Mineral wool in the installation gap — eliminates thermal bridging at the gate column.
  • Gate column anchors independent of typical hall columns; verify with structural calculations.
  • EPDM seal between gate and OB-21 — critical for hall airtightness (especially in air-conditioned halls).
