Application

Our system is extremely versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications including rainscreen facades, soffit linings, spandrel cladding, interior to exterior transitions, curved walls and ceilings with horizontal, vertical or angled orientations.

Description

The system consists of lightweight aluminium extrusions and uses modular components that allow designers to customise each aspect of their specification. Unlike traditional cladding, our system offers a range of unique profile suites which can be used in any combination to create deep and rich textures.

Our Click-on Cladding has been developed with a focus on providing designers with the required aesthetic options to meet their design intent. Our diverse range of profiles allows architects to create rich textures with depth on any wall, ceiling or facade.

For projects which require a cladding look but with more aesthetic value than traditional ACP panelling, our Click-on Cladding is a viable alternative. The unique click-on installation process drastically reduces time-on-site for large scale cladding projects while allowing designers to customise the look of their facade to suit the design language of the project.

Manufacturer guidance

Click-on Cladding utilises our proprietary mounting track system which can be fixed to virtually any substrate. Once the tracks are installed, the boards simply click into the factory fitted clips, allowing speed and accuracy in the installation process.

Combustibility

Cladding material not combustible to AS 1530.1. AS 1530.3.

Manufacturer guidance

Deemed non-combustible under AS 1530.1, Click-on cladding is a fire compliant solution available in a variety of finishes to suit almost any design intent at a low cost.

Fixings

The unique clip connections replace traditional screw fixings, reducing time-on-site and ensuring an accurate installation without the need for specialist labour. The revolutionary clip connection provides strength, allows for expansion and prevents unsightly deformation and buckling, commonly known as oil canning.

Curved panels

-

Manufacturer guidance

The Click-on Cladding system can be used to create both convex and concave curves using our specially designed mounting track. The track is provided to site flexible and fitted to a curved form on-site. The minimum and maximum radius achievable is dictated by the profile of the board, with smaller boards being able to fit a tighter radius.

Track

45mm wide x 25mm standard.

32mm x 32mm Split mounting track.

Manufacturer guidance

Note: Screw fixing to suit substrate not supplied by Sculptform. Recommended screw fixing centres: 600mm Interior / 450mm Exterior. Curving Track 45mm wide x 17mm deep Supplied to site flexible and used to curve around the existing form. Note: Screw fixing to suit substrate not supplied by Sculptform. Recommended screw fixing centres: 300mm Interior / 200mm Exterior. 32mm x 32mm Split mounting track option available to reduce the amount of packing out required when dealing with building tolerances.
