Aluminium Profiles
Assembling and jointing the Al-SIP panels requires several different aluminium channel and angle profiles. These are readily available from your local aluminium or refrigeration panel supplier. The primary aluminium sections are shown below. For details on how panels are put together, refer to the sectional drawings found here.
Base Channel - Used to fix the panels to the floor. Note that these should only be used for projects where condensation is not a concern as the channel is not thermally broken. For dwellings its advised to use x2 angle sections or alternatively cut the base channel into two to create a thermal break. Click here for section detail of how to install base channel.
External Angle - Typically a 40 x 40mm angled section with a slight over-bend to the corner. This ensures a snug fit of the angle when riveted to an external corner.
Internal Angle - Typically a 40 x 40mm angled section with a slight under-bend to the corner. This ensures a snug fit of the angle when riveted to an internal corner.
90 Angle - Used to fix the panels to the floor when a thermal break is required. Click here for section detail of how to install angle to secure the base of panels.
