3 01 System Overview AL13 has changed the game. Our metal panel system is cut to fit and snaps together on site, cutting costs, while reducing installation and lead times. The system does not require any prefabrication and can be installed on any type of structure. The AL13 system differs from other ACM systems in being a tab-over design. The panels are secured by the snap-lock fasteners. s are not welded or formed during construction. This allows for each panel to expand and contract across a broad temperature spectrum without causing buckling or oil-canning. Installation is simple and allows the configuration to be tailored on site. No more waiting for prefabricated panels. AL13 has national distribution, which creates a larger and more competitive installation base while reducing material lead times. The tab-over design is unique to AL13, consisting of five different aluminum extruded profiles. The panel spacers and extrusions work together to create a pressure equalized rain screen, allowing any moisture to exit. version 1.9 IN01

4 02 System Pricing Guide material cost $ Average panel size (sqft) USA Canada AL13 prices start around $15 per square foot depending on the design, layout and color chosen. AL13 can be tailored to suit a wide range of panel sizes and construction types. The fluctuation in pricing is based on panel size, since the panel frame and support pieces increase in lineal feet per panel as size is decreased. This graph depicts the price curve in terms of cost per square foot vs the average panel size - for system only. Allow for an additional $5 - $10 per square foot for approximate installation budget. version 1.9 IN02

6 04 What Goes Where? End Assembly Assembly Alternatively, a Perimeter Assembly may be used in place of the End around windows and doors or other areas where desired. Especially if the distance between the next parallel extrusion or frame is too near to allow the panel to be fitted in place while retaining appropriate tolerances for tab overhang. To avoid notching panel (L-shaped panels) AL13 recommends that the vertical and/or horizontal architectural lines from windows or doors be projected across the wall, using the Assembly. The Perimeter Assembly is used on conjunction with the Assembly to continue the reveal line horizontally or vertically adjacent to a window, door or any other recess or protrusion. version 1.9 IN04

7 04 What Goes Where? Spacer Adhesive Tape The Spacer is what holds the panel away from the wall, quantity and position will vary based on panel size. The Adhesive Tape is only applied to the two centermost Spacers and runs full length. Please refer to the installation guide for more details. version 1.9 IN05

8 04 What Goes Where? End The Assembly is shown here in its vertical usage. The End is used horizontally at the bottom of the system, and when used in this situation is drilled with weep holes. Please refer to the installation guide for more details. version 1.9 IN06

9 04 What Goes Where? End The End is shown here at the top of the system underneath the parapet flashing. Although the flashing detail may vary based on individual projects (please refer to architecture/engineering plans) the extrusion will usually still be at the top to terminate the system (an alternative is to use the Perimeter Assembly at the top of the wall). version 1.9 IN07

10 04 What Goes Where? When doing takeoffs from a set of architectural plans, AL13 recommends color coding the different components - as shown here - and adding the linear footage of each component to determine order quantity. Depending on layout, a wastage buffer of 5% to 10% should be ordered in addition to the total linear footage for each extrusion. can be ordered based on square footage of wall space and depending on panel sizes and layout, a wastage buffer of 10% to 15% should be ordered in addition to the total square footage. AL13 is an extremely flexible system and the component locations shown here are for illustrative purposes and may vary based on individual projects requirements. Furthermore, there is more than one way to install the system, for example; in most situations the Perimeter Assembly can be used in place of the End as desired. version 1.9 IN08

11 04 How to Design for AL13 AL13 Architectural System AL13 standard panel size example of nesting no-waste panel sizes When designing the layout for the AL13 system avoid using L or U shaped notches in individual panels as this will add unnecessary complexity to the install. The most aesthetic layouts utilize the AL13 reveals to echo the architectural lines of the building and glazing. The AL13 system is extremely flexible, and being component based will allow for a 4 4 Not Recommended Recommended Not Recommended Recommended variety of design layouts. AL13 can also be install on curved substrates down to a 16 radius - without any pre-rolling or pre-fabrication required. AL13 is an extremely versatile cladding system. This section will highlight how to best design and prepare for the usage of the AL13 architectural panel system. The standard AL13 panel size is 4 feet by 8 feet. The most efficient design for the AL13 system will maximize the average panel size, since a smaller average panel size will yield more components on the wall - moderately increasing system costs and installation time. If smaller panel sizes are required it s best to use sizes which can come out of the standard AL13 panel in order to produce little, or no wastage. version 1.9 IN09
