🔨 Installation Methods
1. Fixing System
Panels are directly fastened to the substructure (steel box or profile) using screws or rivets.
Edges are usually bent for better strength and aesthetics.
✅ Suitable for small and low-cost projects
✅ Fast installation
❌ Limited aesthetics and water resistance
---
2. Hanging System
Panels are bent into box shapes and hung on special hooks or profiles.
Panels can be easily replaced.
✅ Modern design implementation
✅ Easy panel replacement
✅ More uniform joints
❌ Higher cost than fixing
---
3. Rail System
Panels are box-shaped and placed on aluminum or steel rails.
Hidden connection ensures a clean and uniform appearance.
✅ High strength and beauty
✅ Suitable for large and modern projects
❌ Requires precision and skilled installation
❌ Relatively higher cost

4. H-L System
Uses L-shaped and H-shaped profiles for installation.
Steps:
1. Install metal substructure (steel box or galvanized profile).
2. Place L profiles on edges and corners.
3. Insert H profiles between panels to connect and align them.
4. Panels are fixed inside the H and L frames without excessive screws/rivets.
Advantages:
Fast installation
Uniform and neat joints
Lower cost than rail and hanging
Easier panel replacement
Good resistance against wind and impact
Disadvantages:
Less aesthetic than rail or hanging (profiles may be visible)
Limited ability for curves/complex designs
Requires careful waterproofing

5. Combined System
Sometimes fixing is used for certain areas and rail/hanging for others.
Suitable for special projects with complex designs.
