CELLON® Individual panel segmentation within the following design sizes:
CELLON® 8 and 10 mm
1 Our CELLON®-panel is a Compact High-Pressure Laminate Panel (HPL) consisting of 70% cellulose sheets and 30% phenolic resin. The sturdy and weather-resistant material is ideally suited for external as well as internal applications. The unprocessed boards are manufactured exactly as required for each individual project using laser technology. The panels are thus pre-cut to the exact dimensions (including drill holes) having the desired perforation for the specific construction site. The panels are coated after cutting. Depending on the perforation and the distance between the fixing points, 8 or 10 mm thick panels are used.

2 Important Note on the Storage/Sorting of CELLON®
CELLON® façade panels must never be stored outside in unprotected flat/horizontal position during sorting. Paint damage may occur, if water remains on the panels in a horizontal position*! Please store upright in a protected location and always place the supplied PU-foam foils between the individual panels. Should the intermediate foil get wet, please use new foil.
* Rainwater passes through the coating of the CELLON® panel and cannot penetrate the panel further. This may lead to softening of the coating. This is obviously not the case for vertically mounted panels (balustrade) since the water drains off.
Important Note on the Storage/Sorting of MDF and Plywood
MDF and plywood panels must be stored dry and protected from moisture. When re-stacking, always leave the supplied PU foam film between the panels. Pushing the panels directly on top of each other without foam foil can cause scratches.
Information on Data Submission for Orders
When ordering Bruag elements, please note the following: The following file formats can be submitted DWG / DXF files Cadwork 2D or 3D files
Information and structure Bruag panels must be drawn on a separate layer 1:1 scale drawing Dimension of at least one longitudinal and transverse edge to enable verification of scale Drill holes (drawn as closed circle), cut-outs etc. are drawn as required Placeholders/markers for areas that are to be perforated and for which we are to mark the corresponding perforation.
Custom patterns The following requirements must be met for your custom patterns: Pattern must be created as CAD drawing (DWG or DXF file) The contours must be drawn as a line All contours must be closed cleanly Scale must be clearly evident In the event of post-processing by Bruag AG, any additional expenses incurred will be charged on.
3 Acoustic Ceilings not suspended
Individual acoustic solutions can be implemented in the ceiling area using perforated Bruag panels. The panels are covered on the back with a textile, felt or fleece. This allows the contrast between the pattern and the surface of the panel to be controlled. Cut-outs for sound and lighting can easily be included in the elements. Also indirect lighting is possible.
Construction 19 mm MDF covered with textile/fleece, behind it 30 mm absorber. The cavity above it should be approx. 30-50 mm.
Visible screws matching the panel colour.
4 Construction 19 mm MDF covered with textile/fleece and behind it 30 mm absorber. From the side with indirect lighting.
We recommend a closed edge of at least 10 mm for the butt joints of elements that are covered with textile or fleece on the back. This allows the transitions to be optimised. The pattern is only interrupted a little.

5 Acoustic Ceilings suspended
The panels can also be used for suspended ceiling systems. Dimensions of basic and load-bearing battens, as well as the number of supports and spacing must be in accordance with the guidelines of the system manufacturer. Panel weight for 19 mm MDF with approx. 40% open area = approx. 10 kg /m2
support system e.g. by Knauf base slat 40 x 60 mm load-bearing slat 70 x 30 mm
base slat 40 x 60 mm
load-bearing slat 70 x 30 mm
A selection of felts (approx. 1 mm) or fabrics is available for the back of the panels. We are happy to give you information about the current collections on request.

Instead of fleece, a translucent foil can be attached to the back of the perforated panels for back-lit ceilings. The suspension must be adapted to the perforation. Depending on the pattern and type of perforation,point supports are recommended so as not to interrupt the overall look.

8 Details -Connections
Panel Connections
MDF Connections Lamello (dowel system) connectors can be integrated into panels at the joints for elements made from several parts of MDF. A milling depth of 12 mm is required either side for the milling operations. The pattern may need to be adjusted slightly at these points.
Lamello in MDF Lamello in MDF CELLON® steel bolts
CELLON® Connections 12 mm steel bolts can be integrated into the front of the panel at the joints for elements made from several parts of CELLON®. This ensures that the panels are level.
Edge Properties
The laser cut results in black edges. It is not possible to completely avoid the black showing through in bright colours. The perforations show slight punctures caused by the laser. This is a property of the product and as such not a reason for complaint. Our outer edges are not manually post-processed. This can result in slight surface irregularities of 19 mm and 30 mm MDF.
