In some cases there is a possibility to install panels in a horizontal, one span layout. It enables to secure PolTherma DS panels only to columns which are in base foundation. It is a great solution for buildings which do not require continuous footing and thus you can reduce costs of materials and labor at the installation stage. Zet profiles are necessary for startup, securing first panels on a bottom side, enabling fastening them into columns at the upper side. The shape and dimensions of Zet profiles are shown on 1.1 drawing. Zet profiles should be mentioned (included) by a design plan and could be made either on construction site or delivered by EuroPanels.

Supporting zet profiles are always made of a flat bar with a thickness of 2 mm. They are secured to columns and create a basic bottom line for panels. Therefore it is crucial to install them in a proper and precise way (levelling). Zet profiles are secure either by fasteners or by welding.
