Trimo Qbiss Screen Facades And Walls

Versatile and flexible, Qbiss Screen is equally applicable as or exterior and interior wall, bringing a system-approach to the building envelope, which can be fully combined with the Qbiss One insulated architectural building envelope solutions.

PRODUCT TYPE 

Facades And Walls

COLORS 

Qbiss Screen offers endless rainscreen design possibilities with its wide range of colours, material finishes (steel, stainless steel) and appearances (carbon, wooden, copper or other).

Colour options for the rainscreen cladding are:

-One colour for the whole building -Different colours of shadow line -Different colours of elements organised in a random pattern or in large colour surfaces

UNLIMITED DESIGN POSSIBILITIES 

-Qbiss Screen is distinguished by its outstanding aesthetics, which are engineered for the widest architectural applications. From the vast joint permutations and combinations to the different installation variations, colours and material finishes. -Without doubt, Qbiss Screen is one of the smoothest and flattest metal rainscreenin its class. The façade element itself is distinguished by a unique and patented rounded corner, which eliminates the need for any rivets, cuts or welding, which would be visible on a traditional metal solution Qbiss Screen has no equal. Trimo is the leading rainscreen manufacturer.

DESIGN ADVANTAGES 

- Various joint options
- Wide range of colours
- No cuts, folds or welds
- Completely flat surfaces
- Versatile installation options
- Integrated LED lights in the joints
- Unique rounded corner of the element
- Wide range of architectural details available
- Available as flat and standard prefabricated corner element
- Range of material finishes (steel and stainless steel material and in carbon, wooden, copper or other appearance)

WALL ELEMENT 

The basic element of Qbiss Screen is the modular wall element, which is made by an automated and robotic production line.

The element’s components are :

- Aluminium honeycomb core
- Internal prepainted metallic coated steel with PUR, PVDF, SP and PVC(
- External prepainted metallic coated steel with PUR or PVDF protection, of the highest standard

Furthermore, Qbiss Screen is fully compatible with high-quality, insulated Qbiss One architectural building envelope solutions.

RAINSCREEN SYSTEM APPROACH 

Qbiss Screen brings a system approach to the building envelope. With all elements prefabricated and manufactured by the latest automated technology, it delivers a long-term building solution excelling in its technical characteristics as well as aesthetics.
The rainscreen system’s main components are :

- Fixing material
- Rainscreen elements
- Substructure (optional)
- Windows and doors (optional)
- Architectural performance details
- Prefabricated single piece folded corner elements

DETAIL

Qbiss Screen is complemented with the full scope of architectural details. These details not only increase design efficiency, but shorten the project design process, as well as ensuring the stunning appearance of the building. There is also the ability to create bespoke details for specific project requirements.

ELEMENT REPLACEMENT 

Damage or repair of the Qbiss Screen façade including its range of modular elements can be performed quickly and efficiently and without any compromise to the rainscreen performance. It can also be appropriately repaired using different approaches depending on the nature of the damage:

OPTION 1

A damaged element can be replaced by a new one, simply by tilting upper neighbouring elements outwards, then removing the damaged element to be replaced with a new one.

OPTION 2 

Replacement method statements and further instructions related to the rainscreen system are available upon request.

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION

This installation presents the classic and most commonly used orientation type. The horizontal modular façade system is composed of individual façade elements, joined in the horizontal direction (longitudinal) with a tongue & groove stack system, and fixed to the supporting structure in a vertical direction (transversal).

Longitudinal joint sealing is accomplished using gaskets, integrated in both longitudinal joints; transversal joints (vertical joints) are sealed with a specially profiled gasket.

VERTICAL INSTALLATION

Classical vertical modular façade system is composed of individual façade elements, joined in a vertical direction (transversal) with a tongue and groove system, and fixed to the supporting structure in a horizontal direction (longitudinal).

Longitudinal joint sealing is accomplished using gaskets, integrated in both longitudinal joints, with additional sealant in the groove of the EPDM corner element; transversal joints (horizontal joints) of the element are sealed with a specially profiled gasket.

HORIZONTAL ASYMMETRICAL INSTALLATION 

This innovative installation offers another design option to architects who may be seeking to add further individuality to their projects.

With asymmetrical structured installation, the horizontal axis is completely aligned along the whole width of the building, whilst the verticals are aligned according to a random installation. This way, the building envelope creates a modern dynamism, highlighting the form of the building and other architectural features.

OFFSET OR SHIFTED HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION 

So-called "brick-built installation" is the latest innovation to hit the façade element market. 

This solution not only enables a symmetrical shift (the vertical joint in the middle of the upper or lower façade element is offset) but also means that vertical joints can be located anywhere on the longitudinal axis of the neighboring horizontal façade elements.
