How much useful area does one VILO SV-03 with a length of 3.85 m provide?

The Shopify version has a useful width of 200 mm and a length of 3.85 m, which gives 0.77 m² of useful area per full panel. The same profile with a length of 3 m covers 0.60 m². The longer version reduces the number of horizontal joints with appropriate geometry but may increase waste around openings; the cutting is planned for each wall, not just by total square meters.

What expansion joint does the VILO SV-03 with a length of 3.85 m require?

For panels up to 4 m, the official table specifies an end gap of 5 mm at 35°C, 6 mm at 25°C, 8 mm at 15°C, and 9 mm at 5°C. These values apply according to the manufacturer’s scheme and are not added arbitrarily. The screws remain centered in the elongated holes so that the entire 3.85-meter profile can compensate for thermal movement.

How are the long VILO SV-03 3.85 m panels transported without deformation?

The profiles are transported horizontally and supported along their entire length, without free-hanging ends. Packages are not left in direct sunlight or near heaters, and the storage and transport temperature must not exceed 60°C. Before installation, they are unpacked and colors compared. Visible deformation, difference, or damage must be reported before the panel is cut and fixed.

What are the color and SKU options for the VILO SV-03 3.85 m?

This long SV-03 has five options: White LT-5809, Beige LT-5810, Cream LT-5811, Light Green LT-5812, and Light Gray LT-5813. The SKU codes differ from those of the 3-meter product, despite the identical color names. When ordering, you must specify “SV-03, 3.85 m” and the exact code to avoid receiving the shorter version LT-5814-LT-5818.

Which finishing profiles are planned with the VILO SV-03 3.85 m?

The system scheme for SV-03 uses starter profile SV 11, lower ventilation SV 11.5, external corners SV(P) 12 or 12.5, finishing SV(P) 14, J-profile SV(P) 15, and connecting SV(P) 18 according to the detail. Not all are calculated by area: corners, plinth, upper edge, and window contours are measured separately in linear meters.

How is the quantity of VILO SV-03 3.85 m calculated for a facade with windows?

First, the individual rectangular fields are drawn and the direction of the rows determined. One uncut panel has 0.77 m² of useful coverage, but openings are not mechanically deducted if the cuts around them cannot be used elsewhere. Waste and reserve are added according to the actual cutting. The strips for sides, top, and bottom edges are calculated by perimeter, regardless of the panels.
