For Signa®’s prefabricated panels, we glue brick slips of different sizes and shapes to a Rockpanel® using a specially developed two-component PU adhesive. This results in a manageable panel that can easily be attached to the supporting structure.
Durable base:
You can use almost all Vandersanden’s brick slips to compose your pattern. Only the tumbled and aged brick slips cannot be used.
As an architect, you have the freedom to cut the bricks into any shape and arrange them in any pattern. You can create different effects by varying thickness and by choosing the way the bricks are cut: horizontal, vertical, diagonal or a combination.
The joints between the brick slips on the Signa® panels only measure 2 to 3 mm and will not be filled. As the colour of Rockpanel is light brown and later turns dark brown, this background is not a problem. If necessary, a black primer can be used on the panels to make the open space even less noticeable.

Exterior and interior corner joints can be finished in a mitre, with a cover profile or a corner profile. It is not possible to work with corner strips, as the flexing of the rear structure could cause cracks. Reveals are finished with folded sheet metal around the window profile as that surface is too small to work with panels.
The size of a panel depends on the chosen pattern. Of course, there are restrictions on the maximum weight that can be lifted by 1 or 2 persons. Therefore the weight can also affect the size of the panel. Standard panels are always rectangular, but all shapes of panels can be provided on request.

Our aim is to get ETA (European Technical Approval) certification for Signa. All the necessary tests have been completed successfully at SKG-IKOB (Dutch certification organization for the construction industry). The ETA document now needs to be approved by the other European member states.
