Design
Unique architectural TRIZIP flat-lcok tile is characterized by a horizontal
arrangement of the longitudinal seam, which canbe flexibly positioned.
The vertical lines carry the eye in an upward yet lateral slant,
while the dominant horizontal seams impact a sense of balance and calm-similar
to the vertical and horizontal joints in masonry.
Flat-lock tiles offer an imaginative solution to almost any geometrically complex
building construction(i.e. Round,m bent, curved). With smaller surfaces ut is even
possible to achieve a conical line. Furthermore the technical means are available
to realize creative eave or corner arrangements and edges(i.e. Round, angular, proud).
Application
TRIZIP can provide the complete flat-lock tile system- which is typically manufactured on
receipt of the order. However, qualified sheet metal workers can also make these
tiles themselves, using dies and a break. First the blanks are lateral folds are made,
as well as any additional seams.As the tiles are prefabricated, it is imperative that
the designer provide precise sizes and details.
Particular attention must be paid to symmetry and design intent when dealing with openings
, windows and protruding corners. All surfaces will need to be measured and marked by hand
or by laser, and the area will need to be lined out prior to fitting.keeping in mind that
the TRIZIP flat-lock tile system is a semi-open construction; a membrane may be required on sloped facades, depending on the type of
construction and required protection. One option is separating layer of vent matting.
Additionally, the entire area should be provided with a substructure of wooden sheathing
to minimize damage from external impact. Care should be taken to ensure that there are
no irregular surfaces on the substructure as these will telegraph to the facade tiles.
