SYSTEM COMPONENTS:
“Giove” system is made of the following components:
  • extruded profile, “CV1m” in aluminium alloy, EN 6060 T5 (or similar, when needed);
  • extruded profile, “G1” in aluminium alloy, EN 6060 T5;
  • tile retaining hooks, “G2”,obatained from extruded aluminium alloy, EN 6060 T5;
  • “G3” device and adjusting screw, in stainless steel EN 1.4310 (AISI 301);
  • horizontal rail retaining hooks, “CD4c” in stainless steel EN 1.4310 (AISI 301);
  • retaining springs , type “V7”, in stainless steel EN 1.4310 (AISI 301);
  • standard fixing brackets, simple bracket “A12” and double bracket “B12” obtained from extruded
    aluminium alloy, EN 6060 T5;
  • nuts and bolts in stainless steel, class A2;
  • anchor bars, mechanical or epoxy-resin based, when needed;
  • tile fixing device, placed on the backside of the tile, in the appropriately made holes, in stainless
    steel, class A2;
  • insulation springs in tempered stainless steel, to support insulating panels, when needed.
 
 
 
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:
This system is based on the aluminium sub-frame made out of vertical rails “CV1m”, placed on design pace and horizontal rails “G1”, placed on design pace, which depend on the dimensions of the tiles.

The “CV1m” profile is designed and shaped in order to fit without drillings the following components:
  • standard fixing brackets, simple bracket “A12” and double bracket “B12”, placed on design pace;
  • two hooks “CD4c” and two retaining springs “V7”, in order to fix and retain horizontal rail “G1”;
  • insulation springs, when needed or requested.

The “G1” profile is designed and shaped in order to fit without drillings the “G2” hook designed to retain the cladding tiles, and the “G3” device with its adjusting screw.
Total absence of the holes on vertical and horizontal rails protects coating (oxidation or painting) from corrosion and assure to the structure a longer lifetime.
The main characteristic of “Giove” system is that entire tile anchoring and supporting mechanism is hidden and not visible. This is assured using appropriate number of anchoring devices placed on the backside of the tile. The number of devices can vary and depend on the real dimensions of cladding tiles and effective design loads. They are placed near top and bottom edges of each tile.
On the backside of each tile small holes are made; in these holes is placed mechanical insert-screw, able to resist to the pull-out loads, and it allow the anchoring of the “G2” hooks. In this way these hooks are solidly united with the tile and the tile can be placed and hooked-on to the horizontal rail profile “G1”.
“G3” device and its screw are designed in order to allow millimetric height adjustments, acting simply on superior “G2” hooks.
When the supporting sub-frame is placed and assembled, each cladding tile can be placed, set-up and displaced singularly.
The supporting sub-frame allow any type of horizontal and vertical regulations and the thermal expansion off all components.

 
SYSTEM SIZE AND DIMENSIONS:
  • The standard distance between the wall and the internal face of the tile is 140 mm, with a standard regulation of ± 25 mm.
  • The standard thickness of the tiles for this system should be approximately 8 ÷ 20 mm.

NOTE: THE EFFECTIVE COMPONENTS CAN BE CHANGED DURING THE DESIGN PHASE.
