Description
DryKlad® Aluminium Brackets are engineered structural carrier components used within ventilated rainscreen façade systems. As primary load-bearing connectors, they form the critical interface between the building substrate and the façade support rails T-rails, L-profiles, and box profiles.
The brackets are designed to transfer vertical loads (dead load) and horizontal loads (wind load) safely and efficiently into the primary structure, providing a stable, adjustable, and durable subframe for external cladding systems.
Thanks to their certified performance, high mechanical strength, and compatibility with a wide range of substrates—including concrete, SFS, masonry, and steel—the brackets support façade systems across new-build and refurbishment applications, including medium-rise and high-rise developments.
A2-Rated Thermal Isolator Compatibility
When used in conjunction with the DryKlad® A2 Thermal Isolator Pad, the system delivers enhanced thermal efficiency while maintaining full non-combustibility across the subframe assembly.
The A2 isolator minimises cold bridging, improves façade U-value performance, and ensures compliance with ADB and HRB regulations where A1/A2 materials are mandatory. This makes the DryKlad® bracket and isolator combination suitable for high-rise and safety-critical façade applications without compromising structural integrity or fire performance.
Compatible Façade Materials
DryKlad® Aluminium Brackets are fully compatible with a broad range of façade finishes, giving architects, designers, and contractors maximum flexibility in material selection. Supported cladding types include:
Aluminium
Aluminium Composite
Brickslip Systems
Composite Panels
Copper
Fibre Cement
High Pressure Laminate
Insulated Panels
Mineral Composite
Rock Laminate
Stainless Steel
Stone
Weatherboard
Zinc
This versatility allows DryKlad® Aluminium Brackets especially when paired with the A2 isolator to be used in a wide range of architectural expressions and performance-driven façade solutions, from standard Rainscreen applications to fully compliant HRB rated systems.
Features and benefits:
- Mechanical resistance and stability: Meets requirements BS EN 755-2:2008.
- Weldability: Class I EN 1999-1-1:2007.
- Fatigue strength: Class III for new alloys EN 1999-1-3:2007.
- Dimensional tolerance: Conforms BS EN 12020-2.
- Thermal insulation capability Conforms with Isolator Pads BS EN 1396.
- Resistance to wind load: Adequate for designed wind actions BS EN 1991-1-4:2005.
- Dimensional Tolerances: EN 12020-2 / EN 755 – from 3 to 9 mm.
- Elongation: 6% EN 755-2.
- Ultimate Tensile Strength: 215 N/mm² EN 755-2.
- Tensile Yield Strength: 170 N/mm² EN 755-2.
- BBA Agrément Certificate No. 23/6974.
- CWCT Certificate No. 2019/92.
- Vinci Technology Centre Certificate No: N950-19-17720.
- EOTA EAD 090062-00-0404 Certificate No: T9 64621.
