What area does one VILO SV-01 panel with a length of 3.85 m cover?

With a useful width of 254 mm and a length of 3.85 m, one full VILO SV-01 panel covers approximately 0.978 m². This is the geometric useful area before deducting cuts around corners, openings, and edges. For ordering, the facade is divided into rectangular sections, necessary cuts and allowances are added, and finishing profiles are calculated separately in linear meters.

How does the VILO SV-01 3.85 m differ from the SV-03 of the same length?

Both Shopify products are described as double-bend panels with a length of 3.85 m, but their useful widths differ: 254 mm for SV-01 and 200 mm for SV-03. Therefore, a full SV-01 covers about 0.978 m², while SV-03 covers about 0.770 m². The profile is not replaced based solely on area; the cross-section, lock, and corresponding system trims are checked.

In which colors and SKUs is the VILO SV-01 3.85 m siding offered?

LATIVA has recorded five solid color options: White LT-5804, Cream LT-5805, Beige LT-5806, Light Green LT-5807, and Light Gray LT-5808. The selection must include both the SV-01 model and the 3.85 m length, as similar series have close names but different useful widths. Screen colors do not replace a physical sample when coordinating a large facade.

How does thermal expansion affect the 3.85-meter VILO SV-01?

The official series guide notes an approximate length change of 0.7 mm per meter for a 10°C temperature difference. For a 3.85 m panel, this is about 2.7 mm per 10°C, so the ends do not close without expansion joints. For panels up to 4 m, the table specifies different installation gaps depending on temperature; the value from the current site instruction is used.

How is the VILO SV-01 facade panel correctly screwed in?

The screw is placed in the center of the factory elongated mounting hole and is not tightened so that the head presses the panel immovably. After fixing, the profile must be able to move in the direction of thermal expansion. Direct drilling through the front surface is not an acceptable substitute. The exact screw is chosen according to the wooden or metal substructure and the installation instructions.

How is VILO SV-01 stored and cleaned before and after installation?

Packages are kept horizontally, supported along their entire length, under a roof and away from direct sunlight and heaters; the official storage limit is up to 60°C. For periodic cleaning, water and a household detergent solution up to 40°C are used, after which the surface is rinsed. Solvents and aggressive corrosive liquids are not applied to the profile.
