01483 898125 Website

Application

For use as cladding support for:

  • Stone.
  • Technical stone.
  • Slate.
  • Areas where it is not possible to use FZP undercut fixings due to stone thickness.

Description

Facade cladding support system, providing a solution for large and flat facades using L-brackets, vertical rails and specially designed horizontal kerf rails.

Designed to support ornate and shaped stone facade panels using a groove in the upper and lower edges of the facade panel.

The system comprises of:

  • Intermediate kerf rail: Used in-between stone panels, creating a horizontal joint. The horizontal rails are designed to span 400–600 mm between the vertical support structure.
  • Upper/ lower kerf rail: Typically used at the base detail, window junctions and head details.
  • Cladding (supplied by others).

Features and benefits:

  • Fast, easy and secure mounting of ornate and stone facades over 40 mm in thickness.
  • Optimization of the substructure by optimal load distribution to vertical supporting pillars.
  • Mounting method: horizontal profile connections.
