The 20mm-thick, 4 walls structure 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, thus eliminating heat loss due to the thermal bridges caused by these structures. The modular connection ensures a watertight seal for glazing with an incli-nation of up to 30°. For installations exceeding 1.5m, a suitable section-breaker profile must be installed to which the arcoPlus® panels can then be fixed (see load re-sistance graph). This is done using the specific brackets to give the system

The system includes a complete range of aluminium profiles for installing the panels.The air cells of the polycarbonate panels must be sealed using vented aluminium breather tape. This allows correct venti-lation and prevents soiling on the inside.
