The load is transferred from the panel to the clips via specially developed ceramic discs that are integral to the carrier panel. The number of fixing points are dependent on the size, weight and loading of the façade panels. For ventilated rainscreen systems the horizontal rails are attached to an aluminium support system which usually comprise of helping hand bracket and t-spline/vertical rails. Fire rating: B1. Impact resistance: Meets the CWCT technical note 76 and BS 8200 up to category B for impact. |
Product Options | Panel size: Available up to 4.3 m high and individual panel areas up to 7.74 m². These sizes are impossible to produce using classic natural-stone façade systems on account of their weight and the size of the block stone prior to cutting. |
