DryKlad® Support System

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.
