Image - Wet Seal
The Image - Wet Seal route and return system provides a 5/8 weather tight caulk joint. This system utilizes a male/female continuous extrusion system accommodating the thermal movement of the panel.
Image Rainscreen
The Image Rainscreen is a pressure equalized panel system that does not require exposed caulking or gaskets. The system provides a 1/2" wide x 1 deep reveal at the panel joints. This reveal contains a reveal strip that can provide an alternate color to the main panel or match the panel color. The substrate used behind the panel system must utilize Tyvek Commercial Wrapฎ or an equal weather barrier to ensure the performance of the Image Rainscreen system.
Image - Gasket
The Image - Gasket System provides a 5/8 weather tight gasket joint. Male/female continuous extrusions at the pael's perimeter accommodate thermal movement of the panel. Black silicone gaskets produce clean, consistent joints.
Image Two Piece Reveal Extrusion
The Image Two Piece Reveal Extrusion offers an economical alternative to the Image Wet Seal and Image Rainscreen systems. This system utilizes either a custom color or matching aluminum extruded reveal. The Image Two Piece Reveal Extrusion must be installed over a minimum of 5/8 plywood and Tyvek Commercial Building Wrapฎ or an equal weather barrier.
Image Building Products currently fabricates the Image-Wet Seal and
Image-Rainscreen Aluminum Composite Panel Systems which have
been tested to meet the following specifications:
Static Air Infiltration (ASTM E 283) at 6.24 PSF (50.0 MPH wind and 1.2" H2O). Air infiltration shall not exceed .06 CFM per square foot of specimen.
Static Water Infiltration (ASTM E 331) at 15.0 PSF (77 MPH wind and 2.88" H2O) with a water spray rate of five (5) gallons per hour per square good minimum for fifteen (15) minutes. No uncontrolled water leakage shall be allowed.
Dynamic Water Infiltration (AAMA 501.1-83) at 100 MPH slip stream velocity creating a pressure on the face of the panel equivalent to 15 PSF and 77 MPH wind. Water shall be applied at a rate of five (5) gallons per hour per square foot minimum for fifteen (15) minutes. No uncontrolled water infiltration to the room side shall be allowed.
Structural Proof Load (ASTM E 330) Held for ten (10) seconds duration for both 75% and 150% loads.
+30.0 PSF (75% Positive Design Load) to remove slack.
+60.0 PSF (150% Positive Design Load)
-30.0 PSF (75% Negative Design Load) to remove slack.
-60.0 PSF (150% Negative Design Load)
Permanent deformation of framing members shall not exceed L/1000 of span or failure of the panel.
