The Open Structure Façade system provides architects with an opportunity to design a cladding system that creates a visually crisp, clean and dynamic finish to a building’s facade. Traditionally built with linear panels, Open Structure Façade systems enable light and air to travel through the system whilst maintaining excellent acoustic performance.
Why 84R?
The Hunter Douglas Architectural panel system 84R consists of 84 mm wide roll formed round edge panels, which can be simply clicked to the carrier system to form eye catching horizontal or vertical lines. 84R are roll formed panels made of aluminium, with smooth round edges that provide an elegant and light appearance. Depending on the chosen carrier there is an open joint between the panels, which can be closed using reverse panels or joint profiles to create a visually closed façade.
Characteristics
-Made to measure from 800 mm up to 6000 mm, panels can be joined by using the -panel splice.
-A range of standard carriers to create different appearance.
-Open joint system can be created for profiles requiring open areas for ventilation and acoustics.
-Curved facades can be achieved using 84R curved panels.
-Wide range of Luxacote® finishes.
Application
-Façades and external envelope
-Self-supporting roofs
-Dome shape buildings
-Interior walls, ceilings and balconies
-Canopies
-Renovation of existing building
Panel systems
HunterDouglas® Panel Systems for Sun Control offer excellent design, functionality and comfort with multifunctional louvre systems. Panel Systems can be installed in a projected or parallel orientation to the façade or designed in relation to the angle of the sun.
Installation
The installation process for the HunterDouglas® 84R Panel System is straightforward and efficient, requiring only a minimum of tools. After fitting the steel wall brackets to the façade, the carrier profiles with pre-fixed brackets and spacers or stringers effortlessly slide over the wall brackets and are securely fastened with a bolt-through connection. The C-shaped panels, in full length, are then clipped onto the brackets and further secured with a locking spring at each panel/carrier profile intersection.
A diverse array of carrier profiles, offering fixed or variable modulation, is available to ensure optimal shading angles and openness for each application. Additionally, the 84R Panel Systems can serve as ventilated façades, adding to their versatility and functionality.
Material
The 84R panels are roll formed from 0.6 mm thick pre-painted (Luxacote®
system) stove enameled aluminum strip of corrosion resistant alloy
EN-AW-3005. The stringers are roll formed pre-painted profiles. The SLR-carrier system, brackets and spacers are aluminum extruded profiles.
