METAL FACINGS
− Hot dip galvanised steel by SENDZIMIR continuous process (UNI EN 10346) and pre-painted by means of a coil
coating continuous process with different painting cycles based on end use (see: ''Guide to Choosing Pre-
painted'').
− 3000 or 5000 series aluminium alloys with pre-painted finish with the cycles mentioned in the previous point, with
a natural or embossed effect.
− Stainless steel AISI 304, 2B finish, according to EN 10088-1.
− In case of aluminium facings, these must be preferably applied on both sides: in fact, if different materials are used
on the two sides, the panel may distort and bend due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of the sheets.
− For stainless steel facings, one should take into account the possible appearance of flaws that are highlighted by
such reflecting surfaces.
PROTECTION OF THE PRE-PAINTED FACINGS

All pre-painted metal facings are supplied with adhesive polyethylene protective film that prevents damage to the paint
layer. If the material is specifically requested without protective film, Isopan assumes no liability in case of damages to
the paint. The protective film that covers the pre-painted panels must be completely removed during assembly and, in
any case, within sixty days after the material preparation.
It is also recommended not to expose the panels covered by a protective film to direct sunlight.
INSULATION
Made with rigid polyurethane foam, having the following physical and mechanical features:
− Compressive strength ≥ 0.11 MPa (at 10% of deformation)
− Tensile strength ≥ 0.10 MPa according to EN 826
− Shear strength ≥ 0.10 MPa according to EN 826
− Thermal conductivity coefficient λ = 0.022 W/mK
− The 95% closed cells guarantee an anhygroscopic structure
− Operating temperature: minimum - 40 °C
maximum + 80 °C

STATIC FEATURES
Isobox, Isopiano and Isorighe panels are self-supporting according to the UNI EN 14509 definition: ''...panel capable of
supporting, by virtue of its materials and shape, its own weight and in case of panel fixed to spaced structural supports,
all applied loads (snow, wind, air pressure), and transmitting these loads to the supports.'', depending on the type of
metal facings, their thickness and the thickness of the thermal insulating core.
The resistance values refer to a panel assembled horizontally and subject to the action of a distributed load that
simulates the action of wind pressure; the calculation method used by ISOPAN does not consider the thermal effects,
which are verified by the designer. Depending on the weather conditions of the installation location and the colour of
the external face, if the designer feels a detailed verification of the stresses caused by thermal actions and long-term
effects is necessary, he/she should contact the ISOPAN Technical Office. The designer is still responsible for checking
the fastening systems, based on their number and the way they are placed.
Below are some examples of indicative load bearing tables:
The indications included in the following tables doesn’t take into account the thermal load effects. Furthermore, the indicative
values reported may not be used to replace the project calculations drawn up by a qualified technician, who will have to validate
these instructions in accordance with the laws in the country of installation of the panels.

JOINT
The joint is equipped with a sealant gasket, inserted during production. The shape of the joint is specifically designed to
assure product functionality.
TOLERANCES (ANNEX D EN 14509)

− Metal sheet thickness: according to reference standards for the products used
− Panel thickness: nominal, ± 2 mm
− Length: if ≤ 3000 mm ± 5 mm; if > 3000 mm ± 10 mm
REACTION TO FIRE (EN 13501–1)

The reaction to fire indicates the degree to which a material participates in the fire it is subjected to.
The standard of reference for the reaction to fire classification of building materials is EN 13501-1 (Fire classification of
construction products and building elements). This standard specifies:
Euroclasses: the standard distinguishes seven classes, with increasing contribution to fire, from A1 (non-combustible
product) to F (product not tested/not classified).
Smoke: opacity growth speed of the smoke
− s1 no smoke emission
− s2 low smoke emission
− s3 strong smoke emission
Burning droplets: fall of burning particles
− d0 no burning particles
− d1 few burned particles
− d2 many burned drops
The fire classification of the panel depends on the type of polyurethane foam used and the thickness of the insulation;
for further information, please refer to the Isopan catalogue, the website www.isopan.com or contact the Technical
Department.

RESTRICTIONS OF USE
− A thermohygrometric check should be performed during the design stage. In certain conditions (e.g. high indoor
humidity level) condensation can appear on the internal face of the panel with consequent dripping inside the
building. If these conditions persist long enough, they can accelerate the natural degradation of the organic facing
and the support itself.
− Due to solar radiation, the external face of the panel can reach relatively high temperatures. In some cases,
it can reach a temperature of 80÷90°C. A high temperature gradient should cause the panel deflection the panel
and wrinkle the metal sheet. Isopan recommends a minimum thickness of 0.6 mm for the external side support.
The occurrence of the problem may be limited with appropriate design, taking into account environmental
conditions, length, colour of the panels and thickness of the sheet metal. (See the ''Thermal expansion''
section).
− If an aluminium sheet is used as external face, it is necessary to consider the possible distortions of the panel
(bending) due to the different thermal expansion coefficients.
GENERAL DESIGN INSTRUCTIONS

The wall panels generally require, during the design phase, a structure able to absorb the external loading stress that
will not submit the panels to excessive and permanent distortions to the detriment of their basic characteristics. When
choosing the panel types during the design phase, you should consider some parameters related to environmental
actions like:
− Wind action: depends on the climatic area where the building is installed; the values fluctuate based on wind
speed, with subsequent greater or lesser load pressure on the exposed surfaces (affects the type and number of
panel fastening elements).
− Thermal stress: largely depends on the colour of the external surface of the panel and the building exposure, and
can induce significant system deformations.
− Atmospheric corrosion: depends on the environment where the panels are installed (marine, industrial, urban,
rural); mainly affects the degree of corrosivity on the panel surfaces. In this regard, suitable metallic or organic
facings should be chosen (refer to the available documentation or contact the Isopan Technical Department).
In order to make up for possible lack of material due to damages during handling and assembly, Isopan recommends
procuring spare panels (quantity equal to approximately 5% of the total).

THERMAL EXPANSIONS
All the materials used for the construction of walls, especially metals, are subject to thermal expansion and
contraction phenomena, resulting from the effect of temperature changes. The stresses due to thermal expansions of
the metal sheet act on the siding and can cause functional and structural product anomalies, particularly in case of:
− Significant length of the panel (L > 5000 mm);
− Solar radiation;
− Medium and dark colours;
− High panel thickness;
− Inadequate thickness of the metal support.

Where ''insulated'' means that an insulating core is inserted between the external sheet and the structure; ''light
or dark'' means the surface colour of the sheet.
-Temperature range-
For high surface temperatures, the linear extension of the metal face must be absorbed by the system; cyclic
temperature changes related to the day-night or freeze-thaw fluctuations create uncontrollable cyclic stresses that
fatigue the support elements. These stresses may cause flaws and undulations in wall panels and, in more severe cases,
even wrinkling phenomena. These issues may be overcome by complying with the requirements:
− Calculate in advance the deformation induced on the panel by the thermal expansion
− Do not use dark colours on long panels
− Use suitable thickness of the metallic supports (minimum 0.6 mm to be assessed based on specific design issues)
− Segment the panels
− Use a panel fastening system able to offset the shift caused by the excessive thermal expansions; this solution is
particularly important when using panels with aluminium support (see for example figure below).

Therefore, the assembly stage is critical for the following reasons:
− the very nature of the mechanical joint: the profiles of the tongue-and-groove joints are accurate and, therefore,
due to the effect of linear elongation and bowing caused by solar irradiation, the assembly phase can be difficult
or compromised;
− the bending stiffness of the panel: panels with high thicknesses have a higher stiffness than those with average-
low thicknesses; any abnormalities during assembly due to thermal effects cannot be resolved with "adjustments"
during installation, causing jointing difficulties.
Sandwich panels with dark external faces that reach external surface temperatures of around +80°C (as described in UNI
EN 14509) are submitted to a deflection perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the panel. This deflection, which
depends on the temperature difference between the external and internal metal sheet, is particularly noticeable for long
simple span panels.

FASTENING INSTRUCTIONS
The purpose of the fastening elements is to efficiently anchor the panel to the load-bearing structure; the type of
fastening unit depends on the type of support. The number and position of the fastening elements must guarantee
resistance to the stresses induced by dynamic load, which can also exist in depression.
Appropriately coated carbon steels or austenitic type stainless steels must be chosen as suitable materials to fasten
panels. You should pay particular attention to the compatibility of the steel and aluminium materials in order to prevent
the formation of galvanic currents.
Wall panel fastening

The panels are usually anchored to metal sheets positioned transversally to the length of the panels, which are, in turn,
appropriately fastened to the load-bearing structure of the building as required by the design for stability. The width of
the support must be at least 50 mm; said width must be checked and, if necessary, increased based on design
requirements. In the event of butt jointing between two panels, said width must be at least 120 mm. Panels must be
fastened to the load-bearing structure using the devices identified and sized in the design. The number of fastening
elements varies depending on the different climatic conditions where the building is situated. Normally, for each panel,
a fastening unit must be used at each support sheet. In case of long spans and/or in particularly windy areas, the density
of the fastening elements must be established by the designer on a case by case basis, appropriately increasing the
number of fastening elements and positioning the second screw as shown:

Fastening methods
Fastening varies depending on the project to be implemented and site application system of the panels. Isopan
recommends using double-threaded screws with washer and sealing gasket with 19 mm minimum diameter.
A
Incorrect tightening due to a high torque applied to the screw with
marked deformations of the sheet metal. In this situation the optimal
closing of the interlocking is no longer guaranteed, therefore, the
aesthetic functionality of the product remains compromised.
B
Incorrect tightening due to the torque applied to the screw being
insufficient to ensure correct fastening of the panel to the structure.
C
Correct tightening obtained by applying sufficient torque to the screw
to ensure fastening of the panel to the structure.

Screw length
The correct length of the screw depends on the panel thickness and on the type of support (steel, wood).
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The correct sequence of assembly operations is the following:
Preliminary operations
− Verify that the supports are properly aligned.
− Pay particular attention to the contact points between the supports and the panel support plates to avoid
phenomena linked to electrochemical corrosion if non-compatible metals are coupled. For this purpose,
elastomer or expanded resin strips may be applied as separators.
− Ensure that the site area has appropriate storage and handling capacity in order to prevent material damage.
− Use suitable tools (toothed circular saw, jigsaw, shears, nibbler) for on-site cutting operations. The use of
equipment that produces metallic sparks (e.g. abrasive discs, disc cutter) is absolutely not recommended.
− Use suitable handling systems, particularly for long or heavy panels, in order to prevent safety risks on site and
damages to the product.
Using acetic silicones is prohibited as they tend to attack the pre-painted galvanised sheet and form incipient oxidation.
It is best to use single component sealant silicones with neutral curing that tend to harden due to the air humidity and,
being free of solvents, do not attack the paint.
Assembly
− Apply the basic flashing (when provided) to the foot of the wall, as well as the flashing that must be installed before
the wall, such as drip edges, roof fittings, etc.
− Remove the protective film from the panels, if any.
− Apply the panels starting from the bottom of the wall, or the side end in case of vertical assembly, taking care to
perform correct joints and to ensure they are plumb.*
− Systematically fasten the elements after ensuring they match correctly. The fastening screw must be inserted
orthogonally to the panel.
− If the wall height involves the need to assemble panels vertically, the junction is made at the frame and requires
appropriate use of shaped fitting flashing (ridge caps, drip edges, etc.).

− Use ''U'' ridge caps and drip edges for doors and window frames.
− Apply the finishing elements (angle bars, perimeter edgings, fittings).
− Check and clean the walls, with particular attention to metal scraps, fastenings and fittings with door and window
frames.
− For horizontal installation, the groove part of the panel must always be facing downward in order to prevent
rainwater from stagnating and to promote normal run-off.
*Note: it is mandatory to adhere to the correct installation direction of the panels during assembly
PACKAGE COMPOSITION
The panels are normally supplied packaged and wrapped with extensible polyethylene film; the standard composition
of the package is as shown below:

No. of panels per package 21 17 21 18 15 12 9 7 6
Package compositions and types of packaging other than standard must be explicitly requested when ordering.
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

Lorry loading
− The packages of panels are loaded on lorries, usually two in width and three in height. The packages include
polystyrene spacers at the base, which are thick enough to allow for the lift straps.
− The goods are arranged on the vehicles so as to ensure safe transportation and integrity of the material, in
accordance with the requirements of the carrier, who is solely responsible for load integrity. Pay special attention
to ensure the weight bearing on the bottom package, as well as the pressure exerted in the tying points, do not
cause damage and the straps do not distort the shape of the product in any way.
− Isopan assumes no liability for loading lorries that are already partially occupied with other materials, or that do
not have a suitable loading floor.
The customer who will pick up the material must instruct drivers for the purpose.
Lorry unloading with crane

− Use any type of crane equipped with lifting beam and equipped straps. Isopan can advise customers on the choice
of lifting beams and straps. By using correct lifting systems, the panels will not be damaged.
− Never use chains or metal cables for lifting under any circumstances. As a general rule, sling the packages leaving
about 1/4 of their length protruding from each end.
Lorry unloading with forklifts

− If the lorries are unloaded using a forklift, the length of the packages and their possible bending should be taken
into account in order to prevent damages to the bottom of the package.
− The forks must be wide and long enough in order not to damage the product. When possible, protective material
against surface abrasion and scratches should be applied between the fork and the package.
Indoor storage (Annex A)

− The materials must be stored in ventilated indoor facilities that are free of dust and humidity and not subject to
temperature changes.
− Moisture that can penetrate (rain) or form (condensation) between two panels can damage the facings since it is
particularly aggressive on metals and facings, with subsequent oxidation.
− Pre-painted facings may be more exposed to the negative consequences of combined heat/humidity conditions.

Outdoor storage (Annex A)
− If the packages and accessories are stored outdoors, the surface must absolutely be inclined longitudinally to
prevent the accumulation of moisture and allow water run-off and natural air circulation.
− If storage is not shortly followed by pick-up for installation, it is advisable to cover the packages with a protective
tarp, assuring impermeability as well as adequate ventilation to prevent condensate from accumulating and
puddles of water from forming.
Storage terms (Annex A)

− Based on experience, in order to maintain original product performance, continuous indoor storage in closed and
ventilated facilities should not exceed six months, while outdoor storage should never exceed sixty days from the
date of production. These terms refer to the properly stored product, as instructed in the ''storage'' chapter in
Annex A. However, the materials must always be protected against direct sunlight, as it may cause alterations.
− In case of transport in containers, the products must be removed from the containers as soon as possible and,
however, no later than 15 days from the loading date, to prevent deterioration of the metal facings and organic
coatings (e.g. blistering). Moisture inside the container must absolutely be avoided. Upon customer request,
Isopan can provide special packages that are more suitable for transport in containers.
PACKAGING
Isopan suggests carefully choosing the type of packaging depending on destination, type of transport, conditions and
length of storage.
To choose the correct type of packaging, please refer to the document "Packaging and Services" on www.isopan.com.
DURABILITY
Product durability depends on the intrinsic features of the panel used in relation with its final use. The panel, including
the features of the metal sheets, must be chosen after a proper design of the wall.
In this regard we recommend, if necessary, using the Isopan documentation, also available on the web
(www.isopan.com), and/or the reference standards.
MAINTENANCE
All types of claddings, including those made with metal sandwich panels, require maintenance.
The type and frequency of maintenance activities depend on the product used for the outer facing (steel, aluminium); in
any case, we recommend periodically inspecting the building (at least once a year), in order to assess its conditions.
In order to maintain the aesthetic and physical properties of the elements and to extend the efficiency of the protective
facing, it is also recommended to regularly clean the wall, paying special attention to the areas that could facilitate rain
water stagnation, where substances that are harmful to the durability of the metal sheet may be concentrated.
If you notice any problems following an on-site inspection, you must react immediately in order to restore the initial
general conditions (e.g. restoring the paint where there are local abrasions or scratches).
At the customer's request, Isopan can provide useful information to solve some problems related to this topic.

SAFETY AND DISPOSAL
Pursuant to Directive 68/548/EEC the sandwich panel does not require labelling. To meet customers' requirements,
Isopan has drawn-up a ''Technical details for safety'' document, to be referenced for any kind of information related to
safety.
Caution: all information contained in the product data sheets must be validated by a qualified technician according to the laws
in force in the country of installation of the panels.
Technical data and features are not binding. Isopan reserves the right to make changes without prior notice; the latest documentation
is available on our website www.Isopan.com. For whatever is not explicitly specified herein, please refer to the ''General conditions of
sale of the corrugated metal sheets, insulated metal panels and accessories''. All the products that fall under the EN 14509 standard
field of application are CE marked.

strap and does not cause distortion. The packages should preferably be stored in dry facilities to
(see Figure 1) prevent stagnation of condensation water on inner, less
ventilated, elements, which is particularly aggressive on
metals, resulting in the formation of oxidation.
The panels must be stored in dry ventilated facilities; should
this not be possible, open the packages and ventilate the
panels (spacing them from one other). If the panels remain
packaged outdoors, the galvanised facing may oxidise (white
rust) even after a few days, due to electrolytic corrosion.
The panels must be stored to facilitate water run-off,
especially when it is necessary to temporarily store them
outside (see Figure 2).
If storage is not shortly followed by pick-up for installation, it
is advisable to cover the packages with protective tarps.
To maintain original product performance, continuous
indoor storage in ventilated facilities should not exceed six
Figure 1 months, while outdoor storage should never exceed 60 days.

contact of the strap with the package.
These spacers must be at least 4 cm longer than the width of the
package and be at least as wide as the strap.
Make sure that the straps and supports cannot move during lifting
and that manoeuvres are performed cautiously.
LORRY UNLOADING WITH FORKLIFTS

If the lorries are unloaded with a forklift, take into account the
length of the packages and their possible bending in order to avoid
damaging the bottom of the package and/or to the extreme failure
limit of the panels.
We recommend using forklifts that are suitable for handling panels
and similar products. Figure 2
PRE-PAINTED FACES
In case of prolonged storage, the pre-painted
products must be stored indoors or under a
canopy. There is the risk that stagnant
humidity may attack the paint layer, causing
it to detach from the galvanised support. It is
not advisable to let more than two weeks
elapse from when the products were stored at the site.
In case of container transport, the products must be removed
from the container within 15 days from the loading date in
order to prevent the metal supports from deteriorating.

PANEL HANDLING PROTECTIVE FILM
The panels must be handled using adequate protection equipment The pre-painted metal facings are supplied upon request

For the panels expressly requested without protective film,
special care is required during handling on site and

Annex B
VACUUM LIFTER
If the panels are handled with vacuum lifters, the operations must be performed avoiding stresses on the panel metal
sheet. The action which performs the suction pad on the metal sheet during lifting must be redistributed properly taking
into account the length and the weight of the panel itself.
To prevent excessive actions of the suction pads that could cause the detachment of the metal sheet from the insulating
layer, Isopan recommends to observe the following restrictions:
Polyurethane Panels:
