51. FLATNESS OF CERAMICSTEEL versus HEAVY GAUGE
PolyVision Ceramicsteel panels are much flatter than heavy gauge :
 absence of warp due to firing
 the flexible Ceramicsteel adapts to the flatness of the bonded substrate
 flatness deviation of a bonded Ceramicsteel panel is less than 0,15%
EEA 2004: 7.13:
‘Quality requirements for enamelled architectural panels , signs and advertising boards
manufactured of steel plate for outdoor applications’
allowable flatness deviation over the longest side is maximum 0,75
EN 14431 2004:
‘Vitreous and porcelain enamels – Characteristics of the enamel coatings applied to steel panels
intended for architecture ’
flatness deviation for Heavy Gauge panels convex maximum 0,50%
concave maximum 0,25%
flatness deviation for Light Gauge panels in both directions maximum 0,15%

52. POLYVISION CERAMICSTEEL versus HEAVY GAUGE
Arguments in favour of coil coated Ceramicsteel :
 extra long panels possible up to 5000mm
 curved wall and ceiling cladding smoother and much easier to fabricate
 strictly controlled layer thickness thanks to unique production process
 very thin and uniform coatings (<250micron)
versus Heavy Gauge (<500micron) resulting in better impact resistance
 straight panels are much flatter (deviation <0,15%)
 can be post cut to size from standard panels

53. POLYVISION CERAMICSTEEL versus HEAVY GAUGE
CONCLUSION
 PolyVision Ceramicsteel is an exceptional material for station
cladding thanks to it’s unique production process and unique
properties
 These unique properties contribute to long lasting and clean
cladding surfaces with low maintenance and lighting energy cost.
 That’s why a growing number of metro networks feature
