    ARCOPLUS®347/547/549

    Modular system of multiwall UV protected polycarbonate for windows and translucent roofing applications.

    ArcoPlus®547 and ArcoPlus®549 are modular systems of co-extruded 7 walls and 9 walls polycarbonate panels with a thickness of 40mm, aluminium profiles, accessories and opening windows, designed for simple and versatile use. All the systems can be used for roofing applications with a minimum slope of 7%.

    Gallina has been manufacturing and extruding polycarbonate and plastic profiles, sheets and building panels for over 50 years. Our arcoPlus® line of structural multiwall modular building panels are designed exclusively for vertical wall, skylighting, canopy applications or any application designed to improve daylighting.

    Let us show you how our arcoPlus® panels can enhance your project designs, improve your thermal performance, and bring daylighting into your buildings.

    Calculation and Installation

    Easy and Low Cost Installation.

    The 40mm-thick, 7 walls design with tongue and groove connection gives the panels remarkable flexural strength. It also allows the panels to be installed without the use of metal reinforcement frames (continuous glazing), thus eliminating heat loss due to the thermal bridges caused by these structures (discontinuous glazing).

    For installations exceeding 2.2m, a suitable section-breaker profile must be installed to which the arcoPlus® panels can then be fixed. This is done using the specific brackets to give the system the necessary resistance to negative wind load and permit sliding due to thermal expansion (see load resistance graph).

    Accessories

    In addition to a complete range of aluminum profiles (also available as thermally insulated) for installing the panels, the system also includes opening windows (manually operated or motorized) to ventilate the building (see opening systems on page 70).

    The air cells of the polycarbonate panels must be sealed using vented aluminum breather tape.

    This allows correct ventilation and prevents soiling on the inside.
