The high value, cost effective Marlon Clickfix1040is a thermally insulating polycarbonate panel system with a tongue and groove connection that is fast and simple to install. Meeting all the architectural performance requirements of bright, modern buildings the contractor is set to create challenging building designs in a click
Marlon Clickfix1040can be installed in a variety of applications, in the façade or roof, as vertical cladding, rooflighting, panel glazing, hangar doors, partitions, canopies, walkways and north lights. It can also be printed and so creates a viable signage solution too.
Central to the system is a lightweight 40mm 10 wall multiwall polycarbonate panel with integral male/female connections that simply click into place. The installer can therefore achieve runs, which are unrestricted. Everything needed to install the Marlon Clickfix1040 is provided by Brett Martin. Thermally broken aluminium sills and channels, wall clips and rubber gaskets all complement the panels themselves. The system is robust and easy to fit. Installation is swift and simple with no need for vertical profiles, thus cutting down on both material cost and installation time.
Marlon Clickfix1040 panels are available finished to suit the requirements of the project in hand. They are available in 500mm panel widths and lengths of 7m as standard. However, lengths of up to 13m can be accommodated depending on project requirements. In addition to the standard Glass Clear and Pearlescent colour options, Brett Martin can also produce special colours to minimum order quantities as required.
Marlon Clickfix1040 delivers on a number of performance requirements, ensuring the contractor can meet the discerning needs of any architectural specification. High levels of diffused light transmission; excellent thermal insulation; UV protection for long-term weather resistance; high rigidity and impact strength, all combine to provide specifiers and contractors with a glazing system which can help achieve event the most technically challenging design criteria.
With a U-value of 0.99 W/m2K Marlon Clickfix1040 provides excellent thermal insulation and exceeds the requirements of Part L. By introducing more daylight, less artificial lighting is required. Marlon Clickfix1040is available in both thermally broken and non-thermally broken glazing profiles. Thermally broken accessories avoid thermal bridging and minimise the risk of condensation.
Contractors can help architects and specifiers improve indoor environments too. Those working in environments where there is a high level of natural, or full-spectrum light will benefit from the physiological benefits it provides. With a diffused light transmission of 52% Marlon Clickfix1040 ensures a comfortable naturally lit interior where improved mood and concentration all contribute to a happier, healthier, more productive environment.
Marlon Clickfix1040 meets stringent fire safety standards. It has achieved the highest possible classification, EN13501-1 B-s1 d0. This is the European equivalent of the UK’s class O.
Chris Czyzyk, Brett Martin Specification Manager explains the rationale behind the development of the Marlon Clickfix1040system: “This new system is a development of our well-established Marlon ST structured sheet range which contractors know and trust. The development of a cost effective modular panel glazing solution utilising this material will open up exciting new market opportunities for contractors and installers across the industrial building market including warehousing, factories, sports facilities and agricultural buildings, as well as the commercial sector including retail, offices, schools and healthcare.”
