Exterior Ceilings
Flexible durability

A PROVEN SYSTEM
Hunter Douglas’ Luxalon® Exterior Ceiling systemis specially developed to withstand the strongest
weather influences. Tested by TNO, an independent
testing and research institute in the Netherlands,
these ceilings are guaranteed to impress with their
durability and design for many years after installation.
The ceiling panels are roll formed from pre-painted,
stove-enamelled aluminium strip made from an alloythat is excellent for exterior applications.
The Luxalon® Exterior Ceiling system appears inmany different applications including overhanging
ceilings in office buildings and hotels, canopies ingas stations, and underpass applications in metroand railway stations.
DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
The Luxalon® Exterior Ceiling system creates newopportunities for expressive architecture and adds
beauty and durability to any building’s exterior.

Concave, convex, and undulating sections can beeasily formed to design the perfect curved ceiling.
The standard Luxalon® exterior colour range featuresa variety of colours and finishes, with custom colours
delivered on request. Most Luxalon® Exterior Ceilingsystems are also available for interior applications,allowing architects to visually connect the interior andexterior of a building for an impressive, unified look.
WEATHER RESISTANCE
Luxalon® Exterior Ceilings are developed to withstandall weather influences including intensive sunshine,
dramatic temperature changes, moisture, pollution
and strong wind loads. Their durability comes fromthe patented Luxacote® system, a tough coatingthat guarantees colour stability and high resistanceagainst corrosion and scratches.
The ceilings are made with an ideal corrosionresistant aluminium and feature Luxalon® ProFix™,
Hunter Douglas’ exterior windproof suspension
system.

CONTENT

EASY PLENUM ACCESSThe Luxalon® system allows for easy (de)mounting of
ceiling panels. Installed on a concealed suspension
system, each panel and infill can be removed andreplaced by hand, allowing easy and full access toservices and installations in the plenum.

PANELS
The Luxalon® 84R Ceiling system
consists of round edged panels (1)which can be easily clipped on a 84R
carrier (2). Panels can be joined by using
the panel splice (8). Between the panels
there is an open joint of 16 mm, which
can be filled with a 16 mm wide flush
join profile (9a) to form a flush closed
ceiling appearance or a recessed joint(9b). Join profiles can be simply inserted
by hand, without using any tools.
SUSPENSION
The panel carrier (2) is black and isprovided with prongs to accommodate
the panels in a standard module of
100 mm.­Carriers have a standard
length of 5000 mm.
CONSTRUCTION DETAILSCurved ceilings can be achieved bycurving the 84R panels. See separate
brochure for curved ceilings. The
system is also available for interior
applications.
The Luxalon® standard range of edge
profiles can be used as perimeters.

consists of box shaped panels (1) which
can be easily clipped on a 84C carrier (2).
The 84 mm wide panels feature a
24 mm wide flange that closes-off the
16 mm joint between the panels (module
100 mm). The 12.5 mm deep recessed
joint gives a linear direction to the ceiling
plane whilst being closed-off from theplenum. The panels are made to measure
and can be supplied in any length up to6000 mm.

LUXALON® CLICK-IN PROFILEThe Luxalon® Click-In Profile is apractical and esthetical edge solution
specially developed for Luxalon®
Exterior Ceilings. After fixing the Borderprofile (1) and installing the ceiling
panels, the last thing to do is click-in the
Edge profile (3).
The click-in profile can be used together
with any of the L or W shaped edge
profiles. In case of access to the plenum
the Edge profile can be removed before
demounting the ceiling panels.

LUXALON® PROFIX ™
Luxalon® ProFix™ is a suspension system
made by Hunter Douglas expressly
for exterior applications. A cost- andtime-saving tool, the system simplifies
installation and provides safety andreliability, even when faced with strong
wind loads.

2 = hanger
3 = screw washer + screw
4 = threaded rod
5 = top fixing
6 = non-HD

Luxalon® ProFix™ consists of:•A strengthening profile; reinforcing ourcarriers, creating a bigger span andtherefore saves on suspension material
and labour (less holes to drill)• a top fixing; allowing easy mounting of
the hanger• a hanger; adaptable in length andresisting high wind forces

MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM PLENUM
HEIGHT WITH LUXALON® PROFIX ™
Using the Luxalon® ProFix™ suspension
system provides the benefit of a wide
variety in the preferred plenum height.
Minimum plenum height is 250 mm,
maximum is 1.250 mm (including carrier
and reinforcement).
The hangers are available in 10 different
lengths which vary between 200 and1.100 mm, in steps of 100 mm (200,300, 400 mm etc.). An individual ProFix™
hanger provides the possibility to vary inlength. Each hanger can be adjusted inlength + or - 50 mm.

SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS IN GENERAL
Luxalon® Exterior Ceiling panels are made to measure with a standard maximum
length of 6.000 mm. The recyclable, lightweight, and strong aluminium panels canbe joined by using the panel splice. The black aluminium panel carrier is provided
with prongs to accommodate the panels, has a standard length of 5.000 mm, and isconnected by using the carrier splice.
Locking clips are fitted crosswise onto every panel, adjacent to the carriers, in orderto fully secure the panels and create a ceiling able to withstand the strongest windloads. The carrier can be suspended at centers determined by the wind loadinggraphs, using a rigid levelled suspension system and the screw washer to isolatedissimilar metals.

Hanger length- Profile span (x)The profile span, in relation to the wind load (pressure or suction), can be calculated from the graph above.
At 1.000 N/m1 the profile span should be 1.200 mm (4 or more hangers).
- Buckling load on the hangers
Before establishing the buckling load on the hangers, the load per hanger is to be determined by applying one of
the following formulas:
Number of hangers
4 per full profile length (1500 mm c.t.c.)5 per full profile length (1150 mm c.t.c.)
6 per full profile length (900 mm c.t.c.)Calculation of ‘pressure load per hanger’
1.1 q x profile span (x) in m
1.143 q x profile span (x) in m
1.132 q x profile span (x) in m

q = pressureload in N/m1 (uniformly distributed loads on the Luxalon® ProFix™ profile)

The maximum allowed hanger length in relation to the determined pressure load on the hanger can be read from the graphabove in the same way as the profile span. At 1.000 N pressure load the maximum hanger length should be 1050 mm(bolt 50 mm extended).
Note: For corners, roof edges, special designs etc. wind pressure/suction shall be determined with due consideration to the relevant
local country’s Standard Codes of Building Practice.

FIRE BEHAVIOUR
Luxalon® Metal Suspended Ceilings
are classified incombustible and will
therefore not contribute to possible
fires. When ceilings however needto protect the structural integrity ofthe building, Luxalon ® Ceilings offer a
range of practical and tested solutions
with regards to fire resistance and firestability. Further information is available
on request.

EXTERIOR CEILINGS
Exterior building applications cope withsevere conditions like wind, rain, snow,
dirt, vandalism and UV light.
Our special aluminium alloy, high-quality
surface treatments featuring Luxacote ®
and our wind resistant system ProFix™
ensures durability in applications like
canopies, shopping centres and railway/
underground stations.

• Box-shape, bevel-edge and roundedge panels• Special alloy of corrosion-resistantaluminium• Luxacote ® coating system resistant
to UV and scratches and is rain-, dirtand snow-proof• Certified for wind loads• Wind resistant suspension system
ProFix™.

EXTERIOR USE
Our proprietary coil-coating processensures ceiling panels get a superb
finish. Independent tests have proventhe excellent performance characteris­tics of Luxacote ®. The topcoat contains
a solid UV filter that guarantees perfectcolourfastness and gloss stability. The
topcoat also offers better resistanceagainst scratches with a structure that
resists and masks any minor damage
that may occur during installation,
resulting in a high abrasion resistance.
The alloy and pre-treatment also offers
optimal resistance to corrosion.
COLOUR RANGE
The standard Hunter Douglas colour
range for Luxalon® Exterior Ceilingsystems includes several different
colours and finishes. See colour chart.
Any other (RAL or NCS) colour isavailable on request.
TOLERANCES
As a member of the Technical
Association of Industrial Metal Ceiling
Manufacturers (TAIM), Hunter Douglas
complies with tolerance criteria as
specified in chapter 7 of the TAIM
Quality standards for metal.
