Rainscreen cladding framing:

System types:

QV 1.1 Exposed Mechanical Fastening for Flat Panels using QVB Wall Brackets:

• The QV1.1 system is widely used for attachment of cladding panels, using visible fasteners. In addition, QV1.1 can serve as the vertical attachment basis for other cladding systems.
• QV1.1 is most suitable for concrete and masonry (CMU) substrates.
• It can be used on a stud wall where the vertical profile location is independent of the joint layout.

QV 1.2 Exposed Mechanical Fastening for Flat Panels in Case of Stud Wall Construction:

• The QV1.2 system is an exposed attachment system designed for stud walls and where a horizontal support is required for the vertical rails. The panels are attached to vertical HAT and J rails using visible fasteners.

QV6 Concealed Fastening for Flat and 3D Panels using Undercut Anchors:

• The QV6 system is designed for hidden support of various cladding materials, using undercut anchor technology. The system can be used on stud wall, concrete, and masonry (CMU) substrates.
• QV6 is customizable to be used with many types of undercut anchors available on the market.

QV9.3 Mechanical Fastening for Formed Metal Panels:

• The QV9.3 system is an efficient solution for mechanical attachment of formed metal panels using hangers. The system requires formed metal panels to have “keyhole” cut-outs that engage with the hangers.
• QV9.3 is most suitable for concrete and masonry (CMU) substrates but can also be used on stud walls with the addition of horizontal profiles.

QV9.5 Mechanically Fastened Extruded Aluminium Panel System:

• The QV9.5 system incorporates an attachment system, as well as extruded aluminium panels, manufactured by Q-VENT. The panels can be provided in a variety of shapes, sizes, and finishes and can be installed vertically or horizontally using a specialized clip system.
• QV9.5 can be used on stud wall, concrete, and masonry (CMU) substrates.

AI10 Slab-to-Slab Facade Installation:

• AIO system is designed to span story heights without the need for intermediate fixings, and can be used for installation of various cladding materials. AIO provides a further advantage in thermal performance by limiting the number of penetrations in the thermal insulation of the building.
• The system components are created individually for every project.

Q-Vent is a suite of carefully developed rainscreen framing systems designed to offer a versatile and comprehensive facade solution for the broadest range of facade materials.

This advanced rainscreen framing system has been manufactured to support a wide range of cladding materials and is adaptable to meet the specific requirements of unique projects.

Bespoke solutions can be designed according to individual project specifications and provide full-scale engineering service. D Facades can also simply manufacture standard framing system components where required.
