EN-Construction-Overview of Trimapanel® micro-rib
Insulated, secret-fix, flat panel for a modern architectural appearance.
Trimapanel® micro-rib is an insulated, secret-fix, flat architectural wall-cladding panel that is quick and easy to install for fast build times. Available in 70mm, 90mm and 120mm insulation thicknesses and bespoke lengths up to 12m to minimise waste and provide U-values down to 0.17W/m2K.
The range of sizes, shapes, and colours, and the extensive fabrication options, offers a design flexibility that enables architects to create unique and modern design solutions including vertical and horizontal panel installation.
The unique secret-fix joint design allows primary fixings to be hidden from view and, together with the micro-rib profile, provides flat external aesthetics.

---|---|
70 | 0.31 |
90 | 0.24 |
120 | 0.17 |
Fire safety
The Trimapanel® micro-rib system has been tested to LPS1181-1 and is LPCB approved to both Grades EXT-B and EXT-A. Fire resistance performance of 15 mins insulation and 4 hours integrity is also achievable with enhance fixing and methods, contact the technical department for details.
The panel achieves an internal surface reaction to fire Class B s2 d0 rating in accordance with BS EN 13501-1.
Following rigorous structural and fire performance testing with FM Global, Trimapanel® panels have achieved FM Approvals certification to the following stringent standards:
4480: Class 1 Insulated wall and ceiling panels
4481: Class 1 Exterior wall systems (unlimited height)
Specifying and installing FM Approved products will provides assurance that the products have been objectively tested and confirm to the highest international standards. FM Approved roof and wall panel’s means you can be confident that your building envelope will withstand a broad range of fire and environmental risks and be safe throughout its lifecycle.
