CELLON® Wall Panelling Individual panel segmentation within the following design sizes:

Material thickness 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 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 site. The panels are painted after cutting. Depending onthe 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, dry PU-foam foils between the individual plates. 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 not the case for vertically mounted panels since the water drains off.

Important Storage/Sorting Note 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 CELLON® façade panels, 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 in which we are to draw the desired perforation for you.

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 Design Notes

Fixing Distances

Panel width up to 1000 mm Panel width up to 1800 mm

Fixing Distances Panel with Perforation

Width Minimum Distance (a) Maximum Distance (b) Maximum Distance (c)

We offer the following materials for the covering the back:

Material Format Colours

Textile up to 1600 mm according to collection (approx. 40 colours) felt up to 1800 mm according to collection (approx. 40 colours) foil up to 1200 mm translucent

The diameter of the drill holes is usually 6 mm (fastener + approx. 2 mm). We can supply screws with countersunk head, size 4.5 x 60 mm, painted in the colour of the panel. Other fasteners must be provided by the contractor. We can paint the fastening material on request.

4 Acoustic Wall Elements

Bruag perforated MDF or plywood panels can be used to create visually unique acoustic structures. The perforations should have approximately 40% open area to optimally absorb sound waves. Panel widths of up to one meter can be attached to the left and right, and are also practical for transport and mounting. Wider panels must be supported and secured in the centre.

Acoustic design using 60 mm absorber and perforated Bruag panel. These are covered with textile or felt. Fixing with screws (visible) or e.g. Velcro (invisible)

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.

6 Wall Elements Decorative or Backlit

The elements can also be used for purely decorative purposes. The effect of the perforation can be further enhanced with additional indirect lighting. It is also possible to attach a translucent foil on the back, which distributes the light more evenly. Lighting is not supplied by us. Please consult your lighting designer for further details.

For decorative elements, the distance to the wall should be at least 40 mm. For back-lit elements, this depends on the dimension and strength of the light source.

7 Example Wall Panelling Perforation 50120

Usually, no visible sub-frame is used for decorative wall panelling. The panels are attached on the outer edges and are fixed in the centre on individual fixing points using a spacer sleeve. The joints can be prepared with Lamello 20 connectors. This ensures a clean surface.

Distance point for fixing without continuous vertical substructure. The number of spacer points in the table below is a recommendation only.

8 Details

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 for MDF LAMELLO for 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.
