  • A through-fix rainscreen system (TF).
  • A discrete-fix rainscreen system (DF).
  • An interlocking rainscreen system (IL).
  • An interlocking plank and soffit system (PS).

Installation:

  • The Unity A1 non-combustible rainscreen panel is produced using a solid aluminium substrate that can be fitted as either a cassette or as a flat-faced panel fixed onto an appropriately designed support framework.
  • Rainscreen cladding panel to be fixed to an appropriately designed carrier system.
  • Carrier rail profile to be fixed to a helping hand or primary support bracket through thermal insulation.
  • Helping hand support bracket to be fixed to SFS steel wall and cement board with stainless steel fixings (including thermal isolator).
  • Unity A1 F2F (floor-to-floor framing): Primary support bracket to be fixed back to main structure at every floor level using fixings/anchors which have been designed to withstand the imposed loading.

Secondary support structure

CLAD-LINE CL2 Sub-Frame System.

Guidance for specification option:

Aluminium support system comprising extruded vertical support rail (CL2) with adjustable wall attachment brackets to suit cladding zone.


CLAD-LINE’s CL2 rails are fixed using the CL range of support brackets which provide up to 30 mm adjustment of the rail face. Fixed Point (dead load) brackets are designed to absorb vertical dead loads while the Sliding Point brackets allow for expansion and contraction and are designed to absorb wind loads.


The CL2 Weather Gasket is installed into the slot within the CL2 rail.                     


CLAD-LINE’s CL2 fixing hook is secured to the CL2 rail. The corresponding panel slot engages with the fixing hook to provide a restraint fixing. An anti-uplift/dead fixing should be installed through the top lip of the Unity A1/A2 SF panel into CL2 rail.

CLAD-LINE F2F (Floor to Floor) Sub-Frame System.

Guidance for specification option:

Floor to floor spanning support system comprising an extruded vertical sheeting rail (Rail Type 3), a Primary Angle Bracket, a BS Link Bracket (allowing for up to 30 degree rotation), Link Bracket Fixing Assemblies, a Fixed Point Clip and a Sliding Point Clip (if required).


The CL2 Weather Gasket is fixed to the F2F Rail Type 3.                   


CLAD-LINE’s CL2 fixing hook is secured to the F2F Rail Type 3. The corresponding panel slot engages with the fixing hook to provide a restraint fixing. An anti-uplift/dead fixing should be installed through the top lip of the Unity A1/A2 SF panel into F2F Rail.
