Framing

Aluminium brackets, rails and systems are predominately used for cladding applications.

The brackets and rails support the decorative cladding panels and create the cavity between the building substrate and façade panel required for insulation and for ventilation.

Aluminium framing are used for Rainscreen cladding systems and are appropriate for most types of decorative façade materials that utilise mechanical fix and structural adhesive techniques.

Secret Adhesive Fix

Secret adhesive fixing uses high strength bonding systems to fix the panels to a prepared aluminium rail.

Rivet Face Fix

Panels are fixed to the vertical aluminium rails with powder coated blind rivets.

Mechanical Secret Fix

Mechanical secret fix uses carrier brackets fixed to the rear of the panel with specialised fixings that then hang on to a horizontal carrier rail.
