Abstract
The fixing system for facing panels (1) consists of a substructure fixed to a wall. The substructure has supporting elements (6) on which profiled panel supports (2) connected to the rear side of the facing panels can be hung. The supporting elements (6) include, for each facing panel element (5), one locating supporting element (7) and at least three non-locating supporting elements (8). The locating supporting element (7) is preferably arranged in an upper corner region of a facing panel element (5) and is fixedly connected to the corresponding profiled panel support (2) of the facing panel element (5). Furthermore, the locating supporting element (7) has an adjusting means allowing horizontal and vertical adjustment. The non-locating supporting element (8), preferably at the other top corner region of the facing panel element (5), is likewise provided with an adjusting means for vertical adjustment. The fixing system according to the invention allows easy mounting and orientation of the facing panels, and is a statically defined system, which avoids stresses caused by thermal expansion within the system.
