Product Description
The Vario system is a general method for the installation of a variety of facade materials and is implemented by selecting specially designed accessories.
There is a choice between the following Vario systems:
Vario Agrob Buchtal
The system is intended for the installation of ceramic tiles Agrob Buchtal Kera Twin K15 / K18 and is developed in collaboration with the leading German manufacturer.
The system differs from existing solutions in that it has a main support profile whose shape allows the gap to be created between adjacent tiles with precision.
The system offers:
• easier joining of the vertical gap created between the tiles through a main vertical support profile, custom shape, which does not allow the tiles to move in a horizontal direction
• Ability to paint the visible part of the profile of the joint with a suitable color that will match the color of the facade material
• Improved storm protection
• easier and safer installation of the adapters in the grooves of the tiles through a specially designed polymeric (PA6 30GF) accessory, developed by ETEM and whose main use is the alignment and placement of aluminum hooks
• possibility of making profiles for placing tiles at different heights on the same profile
• Ability to build the main support profile in custom lengths, from 186 mm to over 4,000 mm
• the profile, which is perforated on both sides and is a unique solution for finishing windows that are too close to the construction base (up to 50 mm) as well as for the installation of cladding in columns
Facade materials suitable for suspension
• Agrob Buchtal Kera Twin K15 / K18 ceramic tiles
Installation method: hooks
Vario Agrob Buchtal K20
This ventilated facade system, also being developed in collaboration with Agrob Buchtal, is designed for the installation of Agrob Buchtal Kera Twin K20 ceramic tiles.
The innovative system guide ensures even more efficient and fast installation – the panels are installed with a simple suspension.
The system offers:
• natural ventilation
• easy and fast installation of panels
• exemption from additional hooks, accessories and tools
• wide variety of sizes in the basic thicknesses of the panels
• increased fire resistance
• high level of sound insulation
• water vapor permeability
Facade materials suitable for suspension:
• Agrob Buchtal K20 ceramic tiles
Mounting method: suspension on specially perforated profiles
Vario undercut
The system is designed for the secret installation of thin and smooth facade materials using self-cutting anchors. The self-cutting anchors, the system accessories and the designed profiles allow the safe placement of the material.
The system offers:
• perfect appearance of the facade without visible support elements
• wide variety of sizes and designs of facade material
• the highest possible level of safety when fixing the tiles thanks to the Fischer® self-cutting anchors
• possibility of using facade materials with a thickness from 8 mm to over 35 mm
• easy and fast installation – 1.5 sq.m. per person per hour
• carefully designed work that covers the entire project and guarantees a complete solution system
Facade materials suitable for suspension:
• HPL
• Fiber reinforced cement boards
• Ceramics
• Stone thickness less than 20 mm
• Glass
Vario clips
The Vario clips system is designed for the visible placement of thin and smooth facade materials using connectors. The profiles and accessories, made especially for the VARIO system, ensure the safe installation of reinforced cement boards, HPL panels, glass, light stone and ceramic materials with a thickness not exceeding 12 mm.
The system offers:
• fast precision installation without the use of special equipment main profile with cross-section corresponding to the size of the facade material
• easier alignment of the vertical gap between the tiles through the main vertical profile, whose special shape restricts their movement in the horizontal direction
• possibility of painting the visible part of the profile of the joint to match the material of the facade
• Improved storm protection
• Ability to build profiles that allow the placement of tiles of different heights on the main profile
• Ability to build main profiles of different lengths
• main profile, which is perforated on both sides and is an excellent solution for finishing windows that are close to the construction base (up to 50 mm) as well as for placing facade materials on columns
Facade materials suitable for suspension:
• glass thickness less than 12 mm
• HPL thickness less than 12 mm
• fiber reinforced cement board less than 12 mm thick
• ceramic tiles less than 12 mm thick
Installation method:
Special perforated profile with links
Vario with visible support elements
The system is suitable for the visible installation of thin and smooth facade materials using rivets / screws. The profiles and accessories, made especially for the VARIO system, ensure the safe installation of fiber reinforced cement boards, HPL panels and Aquapanel cement boards with a thickness not exceeding 12 mm.
The system offers:
• fast installation on facade materials of different sizes
• Ability to paint the visible rivets to match the material of the facade
• possibility of using facade materials with thickness from 4 mm to 8 mm
Facade materials suitable for suspension
Installation method: rivets / screws
Vario adhesive
The system is designed for the installation of lightweight facade materials with a hidden gluing support technique.
ETEM recommends the use of Sika Tack® panels.
The system offers:
• glue with long-lasting elasticity guaranteed by the manufacturer
• double-sided adhesive tape that is necessary for the firm fastening of the front panels for at least 12 hours, until the glue penetrates permanently into their surface layer
• Pre-treatment of the main support profiles and the back of the front panels is extremely important to achieve the best possible results.
Facade materials suitable for suspension:
• Fiber reinforced cement boards
• HPL panel
Installation method: gluing technique
Vario Argeton
The system is designed for the visible installation of Argeton ceramic tiles.
The system offers:
• main support profile with pre-drilled holes at a distance of 25 mm, to facilitate the preliminary work of the designer and the preparation of the construction
• Easy installation of tiles of basic dimensions in the general purpose support column
• perforated finishing profile
Facade materials suitable for suspension
• Argeton ceramic tiles
Installation method: perforated profiles with hooks
Vario etalbond
The system is specially designed for the installation of etalbond® composite panels, manufactured by ELVAL Color.
The etalbond® composite panel is another product offered by ETEM. Thus, you can rely on the overall quality of operation that ensures the material of the facade as well as the installation system.
