Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for mounting facade elements (12, 12b-c) on a multi-story building by means of a profile system comprising a first type of vertical profile (1a-d) having a slot extending along the longitudinal axis of the profile, and an inner part of the slot being designed to receive an edge of a first facade element and an outer part of the slot being designed to receive and support a second type of vertical profile, provided with a groove extending along the longitudinal axis of the profile and designed to receive and support an edge of a second facade element. The method comprises: a) mounting two vertical profiles (1a-b) of the first type at a second floor of the building so that the slots are facing each other, and above profiles (1c-d) of the first and second type previously mounted on a first floor, b) transporting a facade element (12), guided by the grooves of the profiles mounted on the first floor until it reaches the vertical profiles mounted on the second floor, c) entering the facade element into the outer part of the slots of the vertical profiles mounted on the second floor, d) continuing transporting the facade element, guided by the outer part of the slots to a mounting position, e) pushing the facade element from the outer part of the slots to the inner part of the slots, f) attaching the facade element to the building, and g) inserting vertical profiles of the second type into the outer part of the slots.
