Description

Optima TFC+ Discreet Through Fix Cassette Rainscreen is a ventilated and drained TFC+ cladding system, developed as an economical alternative to a complete secret fix cladding, showing a 20 mm joint vertically and horizontally between panels.


Features and benefits:

  • Can be fixed top-down, or bottom-up.
  • Suitable for large and bespoke panel sizes.
  • Precision fit and finish, with 20 mm joints in both directions.
  • Consistent colour.
  • Cassette recesses are formed from the face of the material.
  • Simple and speedy to achieve discreet fixings.
  • Drained and ventilated system consists of a baffle-jointed series of panels, creating a weather shield in front of a primary structure.
  • Engineered to seamlessly integrate with all other building facade elements such as windows, doors and louvres.
  • Full range of Euroclass A1 and A2, s1-d0 panel materials from 2-4 mm.
  • Fire-tested to BS 8414 and classified in BR135.
  • Mechanical fixing methods (no glue required), provide true A1 and A2 cladding systems.
  • CWCT-tested and certified.
  • Compliant to NHBC requirements.


Consult the manufacturer to discuss bespoke detail proposals.


Support and fixing system:

A fully adjustable system of cleats and carrier profile offers a 'hands free' lining and levelling facility for cladding zones from 100–380 mm. Panels are fixed using colour-coated, self-tapping stainless steel screws through pre-punched holes.

Consult manufacturer regarding structural restrictions, and constraints relating to panel size, fastener type and frequency of fixings.

Aluminium composite material (ACM A2): 4 mm.
