Architectural Fin Façade System | Aerofoil | Vector®

All building types where a decorative facade system is required, particularly suited to multi-storey car parks.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW:

Vector® is a decorative aluminium fin façade system designed to provide architectural screening and visual impact through vertical or horizontal aerofoil profiles.

• Utilizes aerofoil aluminium fins to create clean, linear façade expressions.
• Can be installed as a cassette system or individual fins to suit project requirements.
• Suitable for a wide range of building types including commercial, infrastructure and data centres.
• Provides effective screening of structural elements while maintaining visual openness.
• Fins can be positioned at varying angles to control light, shading and façade depth.
• Adaptable system capable of accommodating both standard and bespoke design requirements.
• Can incorporate secondary elements such as security mesh or bird mesh behind fins.
• Available in aluminium or timber/ wood.

TESTING:

Designed in accordance with project-specific structural and environmental performance requirements.

• Engineered to meet wind load and structural criteria based on building location.
• Fin spans and support configuration determined by project-specific design parameters.
• System design accommodates building movement and live loads where required.

PANEL CONSTRUCTION:

Fins manufactured from extruded aluminium profiles.

• Aluminium 6063 T6 fin construction.
• Aerofoil profiles available as standard, with bespoke variations available.
• Fin size, spacing and orientation tailored to project requirements.
• End caps manufactured from aluminium.
• Designed to provide durability, dimensional stability and consistent finish.

VERTICAL SUPPORT CONSTRUCTION:

Support system designed to provide structural integrity and alignment.

• Vertical and horizontal mullion support in Aluminium 6063 T6.
• Configured to suit façade geometry, loads and fixing requirements.
• Designed to accommodate installation tolerances and ensure accurate fin alignment.
• Interfaces with primary structure or secondary steelwork as required.

BRACKET CONSTRUCTION:

Bracket system provides secure connection between fins and supporting structure.

• Manufactured from galvanized mild steel or aluminium curtain wall brackets.
• Designed to accommodate structural tolerances and allow on-site adjustment.
• Suitable for fixing to concrete, steel or secondary support systems.
• Engineered to support fin loads and maintain façade stability.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE ADVANTAGES:

Vector® is designed to support efficient installation and long-term façade performance.

• Modular fin system enables fast, repeatable installation.
• Cassette or individual fin options allow flexibility in installation sequencing.
• Adjustable bracket systems support accurate alignment and reduce installation risk.
• Components can be individually replaced without removing large façade areas.
• Supports programme certainty and minimises disruption on site.
