Frequently Asked Questions

Project Builder: Simply log in to this easy-to-use online tool and create a report unique to you and your project.


By answering a series of simple questions, our in-house Technical Team can prepare a report describing the NVELOPE subframe system(s) ideal for your project and provide an indicative 'Static' Load Calculation for the given area. We can also provide guidance on subframe component quantities, including SFS fixings, as well as a component and system guide price.

Consider incorporating SFS NVELOPE Thermal Solutions range of brackets into your design. This range is proven to minimise thermal point loss effects whilst balancing cost versus thermal performance considerations.

SFS have been assessed and can provide an EPD – Environmental Product Declaration – created in accordance with EN 14025 and EN 15804.

We refer in this instance to EC Directive 94/611/EC. This provides an authoritative response to requests for information on materials in relation to Reaction to Fire classification to EN13501.


All our stainless steel and aluminium subframe systems are described as A1 substrates and are therefore referenced as not needing further test evidence.

SFS is a world leader in the manufacture of fixing and fastening solutions which fully complement and support our NVELOPE subframe systems.


These solutions are designed to fully complement our subframe systems, ensuring everything you need is available in one place.

SFS are able to provide expert technical guidance to help you complete your subframe design. Email the team directly at gb-technical@sfs.com or phone 0330 0555 888.
