Downer Framing – DCS021 Omega And Zed System - Rainscreen Framing

Downer Framing aluminium rainscreen framing systems are ideal for multiple sector applications and construction projects. A BBA approved framing system, it is particularly suitable for use as a sub-frame to support cladding on the external or internal walls in structures of new or existing buildings.

Downer Framing aluminium rainscreen framing systems are generally used for cladding applications for both internal and external facades, as well as living wall systems where Downer rainscreen framing is used as the substrate for the application of living wall 'green facade' solutions.

The brackets and rails support the decorative cladding facade and create the cavity between the building substrate and façade panel providing vital insulation and ventilation.

Downer aluminium framing solutions are used for endless rainscreen cladding systems and are appropriate for a multitude of man-made, composite and natural facade panels, which use mechanical fix and structural adhesive techniques.

Downer Framing has introduced a new free to use online tool that makes specifying cladding subframe systems easier - Downer Designer.

FREE TO USE ONLINE TOOL

Downer Designer is a free to use online tool which enables you to outline all your project specific rainscreen requirements to generate your optimal framing design. All of which is stored and managed in your own personal online account.

Simply enter the information you know, along with any detail specific requirements. Our technical team will then provide you with: static and thermal calculations, along with relevant costings, optimised component and fixing configurations, and NBS specification – all of which you can print off or save as a pdf.

Downer subframe cladding system Omega and Zed is designed to work with a wide range of rainscreen facades. Downer DCS021 framing system provides vertical support to most rainscreen cladding panels using the principle of a ventilated façade.

Downer Framings Omega and Zed extruded rails are designed to be installed onto a continuous structural load bearing substrate to offer direct support to the cladding panels by face or adhesive fixing them.

Highly versatile and durable, DCS021 cladding framing is manufactured to work as part of Downer Framing's overall solution and can be utilised

as a support to other framing systems such as our Downer Framing subframe cladding systems DCS004 Mechanical Secret Fix or combined with DCS031 & DCS041, or another layer of DCS021 Omega and Zeds to provide horizontally orientated support rails. Take a look on our website to see a range of Downer Framing project references that highlight the breadth of facades which Downer Framing cladding subframe system can support.
