Where can VILO Fronto 2.95 m slat panels be used?

The official Fronto system is designed for entire facades, individual facade accents, and cladding of eaves or external ceiling areas. The panels can visually continue from the wall to the soffits when the substructure and details are designed for both planes. The product is not considered roofing material and does not replace waterproofing; it is a ventilated decorative cladding with separate finishing profiles.

What are the dimensions of a VILO Fronto slat panel?

Fronto SV(P)-06 is 2.95 m long, with a total width of 288 mm, thickness of 12 mm, and a useful width of 250 mm. One uncut panel provides 0.7375 m² of useful coverage. The Shopify description specifies four narrow slats in the profile. For quantity, the useful width is used, not the total width, then cutting and reserve are added depending on the chosen horizontal or vertical layout.

How many panels are in a Fronto package for different colors?

In the specific Shopify product, Cream LT-5824 and Olive LT-5825 are configured with 10 panels, corresponding to 7.375 m² of useful area. Anthracite LT-5826 comes in a package of 4 panels, or 2.95 m². The official page calls these formats standard and premium packages. When quoting, the selected color is checked because the same number of packages does not mean the same square meterage.

Is VILO Fronto installed horizontally or vertically?

The manufacturer allows both orientations. Vertical slats emphasize the height of the facade, while horizontal ones create continuous lines along the wall length. Technically, the choice determines the direction of the supporting battens, corner treatment, and ventilation profiles S or M. Before ordering, joints and openings are drawn because cutting and required linear accessories differ for the two schemes.

How do the locking and mounting holes of Fronto SV(P)-06 work?

Fronto uses a click connection between adjacent panels and factory holes for mechanical fixing. The official page also describes a wind-resistant lock that improves adhesion and limits noise. This does not replace the proper substructure and screws: the fastener is centered in the hole, allows thermal movement, and follows the permissible distances from the system instructions.

What system accessories are needed around VILO Fronto?

The field start is formed with starter SV 11, and the lower ventilation with SV 11.5 S or M depending on orientation. For external corners, SV(P) 12, 12.5, or 12V are used; for ends - SV(P) 14/15; and for connections and drainage - SV(P) 18 and 16.5 depending on the detail. The exact set is determined by the facade drawing, not just by the panel area.
