Main advantages
n
Long time proven supe-
rior products quality
n
Most advanced know how
and system competence
n
10 year guarantee, very
long life expectancy
n
Unique textures and
surface aspects
n
Almost maintenance free
n
No efforescence

The rear ventilated faade system I Rain screen cladding
Advantages
n The most reliable system from
the viewpoint of building physics with
high energy effciency.
n System specially designed and
tested for rain screen cladding appli-
cation.
n Rear ventilation system reduces
humidity.
n Air circulation optimizes the
effciency of insulation.
n Suitable for new buildings and re-
furbishment of every type and size.
n Increased life expectancy of
building substance.
n Improved sound proofng.
n Nearly no maintenance.
n Never any plaster, paint and seal-
ant problem.
n Building tolerances can be
readily accommodated.
No thermal bridges
Heat of rooms is kept in wall
structure
Condensation is carried away
In summer, part of the heat is
evacuated by circulating air
Moisture evacuated by
thermal action
Small and medium size modules
are fabricated at the factory, ready
to be installed on to the specifed
sub-frame.
All modules and systems are spe-
cially designed for the rain screen
principle associated with the perma-
nent ventilation.
The modules defect most of the
rain and the ventilated cavity carries
away any moisture.
The effectiveness of the system
depends on a clear minimum cavity
of 25 mm (depending on height of
building) and on ventilation open-
ings provided at the base and top of
the cladding area, windows, etc.
The long-time proven superior qua-
lity of the ventilated faade systems
rests on the Swiss most advanced
faade know-how and system
competence for cement composite
modules.

General information
Engineering responsibility
for each project
All fgures and values contained
herein are indicative only.
For each project, the local engineer
/ contractor bears sole responsibility
for all fnal engineering details inclu-
ding dimensions and specifcations
to sub framing members and all
pertaining fasteners.
Wi nd l oadi ng
The claddings can be exposed to a
design wind load of 1.5 kN/m
2
(verti-
cal supports at 300 mm ctrs.) and
to 1.3 kN/m
2
(vertical supports at
450 mm ctrs.).
For further information and details
contact manufacturer.
Design load: effective load x 1.5
Seismic loads
Local standards / regulations to be
considered.
Rear ventilation
Thermal insulation
Wind proofng/loading
Requirements and execution in ac-
cordance with European standards
(EN) and Eurocode (EC) or other ap-
plicable local standards and codes.
External wall design
Architect / consultant / contractor
are to assume responsibility for the
correct design and execution of the
external wall and its cladding - inclu-
ding all thermal, water, vapour and
wind insulation layers all in accor-
dance with good building practice.
Sub-framing
Modules have been designed for
installation on various sub framing
systems. Refer to specifc design +
installation manual (DIM) for each
sub frame system.
Architect, consultant, contractor
to choose appropriate system in
accordance with local building stan-
dards / regulations.
One plane surface
All faces of module support profles
to be in one and the same plane.
Profles to be adjusted / shimmed
as required. Shims must always be
underneath profle, shim may not be
located between module and profle.
Installation
As described herein the cladding
material is fastened by rivets onto
vertical panel support profles provi-
ding thus a so called rear ventilated
facade.
Use rivets supplied by manufacturer.
For structural values refer to rivet
data sheet.
Stretch / contract strip height
dimensions
To make up for tolerances and inac-
curacies of the building dimensions,
the exposed strip heights may be
stretched / contracted as shown
herein.
Vertical module support profles
Profles to be made out of alumini-
um, minimum thickness 2 mm.
Distances between vertical profles
as per drawings in this manual.
EKOSAL can be installed on steel
sub-framing minimum thickness
1.5 mm.
For other formats, development for
steel sub-framing in progress.
Module support profles
Avoid strain / stress between mo-
dule and support profle. Material
thickness of metal parts in between
such as vent profles to be max. 0.8
mm thick.
Execution details
Detail drawings with module dimen-
sions, overlap, ventilation openings
at top, bottom and windows, building
corners, etc. shall be submitted for
checking prior to ordering material.
Project specifc ordering
The characteristics of the raw ma-
terials determine properties and
appearance of the modules. Subtle
visual differences may occur bet-
ween production batches. Individual
facades must be made from identi-
cal production batches.
Characteristics
The small and medium size cement
composite modules are manufactu-
red ready for installation.
Product guarantee
Modules are covered by a 10 year
functional guarantee, provided the
project was coached by the local
distributor or the manufacturer and
installed by trained contractor.
Remarks
This Design +Installation Manual
contains basic details and informa-
tion regarding planning and execu-
tion.
Further information such as
general sales conditions
color range
availability
pricing
etc.
to be obtained from local distributor.
Validity
At the date of project execution the
latest edition of the design +installa-
tion manual is valid as available on
web site: www.swisspearl.com.
Material compatibility
Raw aluminium is not compatible
with cement composite material.
Thus visible aluminium parts should
be anodised or powder coated. Ce-
ment composite material e. g. drill
dust together with humidity may lead
to permanent stains.
Sealant
Where the use of sealant is unavoi-
dable, material compatibility should
be verifed frst. Best suitable would
be hybrid polymer, polyurethane or
acrylic sealant.

Rivet and panel hole of the same diame-
ter 4 mm.
Elongated holes (SP) at both ends allow
the module to freely expand / retract.
Vertical support profles
made of hat and Z-profles
The verticals are attached to horizontal
Z-profles housing the insulation mat.
The verticals have to be shimmed as
required.
The horizontal Z-profles are important
thermal bridges (loss of energy).
Professional system with T-profles
and angles attached to brackets
Advantages :
The verticals are adjustable in / out.
Thermal bridging occurs only at the spots
where the brackets are.

on clips should be cut back on the
top edge.
2 If the lower edge has to be cut
(for instance at window head) a mi-
nimum height of 300 mm is required
as shown. Use additional clips and
starter strip in this zone.
This is the only exception which
allows the use of more than one
additional clip glued on site.
3 Should the remaining panel
height be less than 300 mm, the
panel has to be shimmed in order
to obtain the correct tilt.

Layout ot the joints
The careful layout of the joints
is signifcant. The modules
along the bottom line should be
in keeping with the appearance
of the cladding as a whole.
When determining the courses,
make sure that the window head
corresponds with the lower
module edge.Where this is not
possible, cut out the modules at
the window head.
The variable visible module
height (526 - 546 mm) allows
to clad foor heights between
2655 mm and 2715 mm.
Overlap of 53 - 65 mm always
to be fully respected
(expansion sub framing).
The sub framing must be accu-
rately lined up.
One fxed bracket and depen-
ding on statics the correspon-
ding quantity of sliding brackets
are to provide for each profle.
Maximum length of profles:
n Aluminium: 3000 mm
(minimum thickness 2 mm
AlMg 0.5 F22);
n Galvanized steel: 6000 mm
(minimum thickness 1.5 mm,
thickness of galvanization 40 )
Align upper edges of all
support profles.
Upper or lower edge of the pro-
fle should be 60 mm away
from the edge of the module.
Each side of the external cor-
ner receives a corner support
fxed at same distance as bra-
ckets.
The L profle is f xed onto the
corner supports either with
countersunk rivets or rivets set
above the spacer profle. For
number of fxing points, etc.,
see instructions of sub-framing
manufacturer.
At internal corners brackets are
to position in such a way that
vertical profles can be fxed
(see drawing).
The internal corner profles
(4545 mm) receiving the bra-
ckets are fxed at a distance of
40 mm from the internal angle.
Sub-framing with horizontal
and vertical proles
The sub framing must be ac-
curately lined up. Dimension X
(spacing of brackets) depends
on statics and instructions of
the manufacturer of the sub-
framing system.

done with f xed points.
All edges of the vertical profles
must be aligned.

(Same applies to the horizontal
profles).
Length of overhang of vertical
profle compared to horizontal
profle depends on manufac-
turer of sub-framing system.
Depending on system connec-
tion can also be done with a
profle connecting part (atten-
tion, joints shall accommodate
for material expansion and
retraction!).
Install the perforated bottom
profle along the base of the
cladding to prevent the intrusi-
on of small animals and ensu-
re the correct inclined position
of the frst module.
Approx. 5 cm of the ends of the
profle ft into each other. The
profles are riveted onto the
vertical sub-framing.
Thanks to the jointing system,
the profles may also be con-
nected between the vertical
sub-framing.
Lay out
The courses of the cladding are
always lined up with the upper
module edges.
First course at the bottom of the
building = 596 mm, next course
= 596 mm minus overlap
(53-65 mm). Mark the upper
edge of the frst course along
the entire extent of the clad-
ding, either with a level or with
a laser. All other courses are
lined up with this base line.
At the bottom line, the spacer
is placed behind the return
of the prof le for bottom.
The prof le for bottom closing
the ventilation opening
at the base of the cavity is
visible at the joints.
The modules are fxed through
the hole cut out in the spacer
element.

Cleaning procedures
Remove dust immediately after fab-
ricating modules.
n Dry dust
To be removed with a vacuum clea-
ner or with a clean, dry and soft
cloth or brush
n Wet dust
Results in staining of the module
surface. It must be removed imme-
diately, using plenty of water and a
sponge or soft brush
Cleaning of new claddings
n Non calcium based stains
Use high pressure cold water at
max. 80 bars at a minimum distance
from the module of 30 cm or 1 foot.
Prior do test on inconspicuous part
of the cladding.
n Calcium based stains
1. Apply a mist spray of a solution
of 10 % acetic acid in water
2. Allow to react a few minutes, but
do not let dry out
3. Use high pressure cold water as
described above
4. Repeat steps 1 3 on obstinate
stains
n Do not use glass cleaning deter-
gents
n Do not wash cladding in direct
sun light with alkaline or acid clea-
ners, as the detergent may cause
irreversible stains.
.Safety on site
All national, federal, state, local and
other applicable safety regulations
must always be complied with.
Accessories
Use original Swiss accessories and
components to obtain warranty.
Fabrication of cement composite
products
Fabricate modules with vacuum
equipped power tools.
Avoid the use of tools that produce
fne dust.
Cutting on site
For long straight cuts use circular
hand saw with pertaining guide rail
and dust extractor. Cutting blade
diamond coated or carbide metal.
For small cut outs use pendular jig
saw.
CLINAR and rectangular strips up to
a length of 900 mm can be cut with
guillotine type cutter.

28 I SINGLE LAYER ON METAL SUB-FRAME
Storage and handling
Small and medium modules must be
protected from dampness and wea-
ther under a roof.
Where this is not possible, store
under tarpaulin in a way that allows
run off of rain water and ventilation.
n When lifting pallet up by crane,
attach pallet at suffcient support
points to prevent it from bending.
n Stacked modules

to be stored
under roof. If not possible (e. g. on
building site), use tarpaulin to cover
the pallets (the transport packaging
is not suffcient).
n Pallets / stacks always to be
placed horizontally, and to be kept
off the grade.
n Lift modules individually to avoid
scratching.
n Do not stack the pallets. Protect
stack adequately.
n All manufacturers labels,
instructions, Design +Installation
Manual must be made available
to the entire staff on building site.
Fabrication and handling
n Fabricate modules

with tools
recommended by manufacturer.
n Immediately remove fabricating
dust from module.
n Install modules by contractors
trained and instructed by manufactu-
rer or distributor.
n Make sure that dust is removed
from face and back side of module
prior to its installation.
Cleaning
n Do not clean modules

by dry
methods except by compressed air.
n Immediately remove cement
stains by applying a solution of
10 % acetic acid in water, allow to
react 5 - 20 minutes, but do not al-
low to dry out. Follow up with a cold,
clean water rinse. If required, use
high pressure water blaster at 40-80
bars (580-1160 psi), always test this
method on inconspicuous cladding
area.
n Never clean a faade in the bright
sun light.
Very important: "dos and don'ts"
Generalities
n All national, local, state, federal
and other applicable safety regula-
tions must always be complied with.
n Purchase modules only from
appointed authorised distributors.
n Use modules

only for applications
recommended by manufacturer.
n All manufacturers recommen-
dations regarding design, storage,
fabrication, installation and cleaning
of modules

must be fully complied
with.
Design and Installation
n Before start of installation, verify
that:
correct fasteners and acces-
sories have been delivered to
site.
n Sub-frames are to be designed
by structural engineer/contractor.
Thermal expansion/retraction is to
be accounted for.
n Uninterrupted air circulation, from
bottom to top, must be maintained
behind modules.
n Do not install modules directly
onto wall surfaces of any kind.
n Do not use any sealant in con-
nection with modules.
