Suitable for the support of vertical or horizontal timber rails or timber boarding, to which timber cladding, weatherboard panels or boards, or panels made to support other materials, e.g. copper, zinc, etc. may be attached.

Vertical aluminium sub frame system for rainscreen applications utilising NVELOPE helping hand brackets NV6 is designed to be used for supporting a timber battens as a hybrid system. Cladding panels are fixed through to the battens using the appropriate SFS fixing.

Features and benefits:

• NV6 is the NVELOPE® system for supporting a timber batten – vertical cladding applications (to support vertical and/ or horizontal cladding elements).
• Timber batten can be used to support timber cladding/ weatherboarding and ply (used as a substrate for other materials e.g. metal).
• NVELOPE® flexible point brackets absorb wind loading and allow for expansion and contraction.
• NVELOPE® fixed-point brackets absorb both vertical dead loads.
• NVELOPE® Bracket spacing is determined by cladding options such as the dimensions and weight of the facade cladding, local wind loads.

Support:

• Vertical timber cladding: vertical timber bearers are supported with NVELOPE® carriers brackets fixed back to NVELOPE® support brackets.
• Horizontal timber cladding: vertical timber bearers are supported with NVELOPE® carriers fixed back to NVELOPE® support brackets, then counter battened.
