All tests and technical validations were undertaken by Qualiconsult, a French regulatory organisation, as part of an “Enquête Technique Nouvelle” (New Technical Enquiry). This was performed in close cooperation with Anne-Line Citerne, project leader at DuPont, who explained: “The innovative fixing system that was developed for this project was validated as an R+4 level façade-cladding project in a Class II wind area during the investigation by Qualiconsult. This system uses Façalu aluminium frameworks from the Etanco company and incorporates invisible fixings that attach the panels of DuPont™ Corian® onto a clip system on the framework in secondary, horizontal profiles.”
