NV8 Rainscreen Subframe System
NV8 is an NVELOPE® subframe system suitable for concealed fix/mechanically secret fixed and structurally bonded applications
Features
- NV8 is an alternative NVELOPE system for secret fix/mechanically secret fixed applications. NV8 is an alternative solution for structurally bonded applications – On site or offsite secured using hangers and TUF rivets, screws or structural adhesive (Sika) to provide a concealed fixing.
- Horizontal NVELOPE profiles are fixed to the vertical profiles. Rainscreen panels are supported by and secured to the horizontal profiles with hangers and adjustable hangers.
- NVELOPE 'L' profiles are fixed using NVELOPE support brackets, fixed through a series of fixed and flexible points. NVELOPE fixed point brackets absorb both vertical dead loads.
- NVELOPE bracket spacing should be determined from project-specific calculations, taking into account factors such as panel dimensions, panel weight, substrate and local wind loads.
- NVELOPE sliding point brackets absorb wind loading and allow for expansion and contraction.
Material
Material selection is an important consideration in the construction of a rainscreen support system. It can affect the thermal performance of the overall rainscreen system, as well as structural performance.
Aluminium
- Aluminium subframe systems for rainscreen are designed in accordance with Eurocodes 3 & 9.
- Aluminum is the second most widely used metal after iron and as such has a robust and well defined UK and international supply chain
- Its low weight and high strength ratio and simplicity of fabrication either on site or within a manufacturing setting makes it a suitable material with which to create high performance rainscreen subframe systems for cladding applications.
- Aluminium offers corrosion resistance, which can be complemented by additional treatment including anodization whilst still maintaining a Euroclass A1 fire rating. Refer to the relevant product documentation for applicable reaction to fire classification.
- NVELOPE systems use 6005 T6 alloy, selected for its strength and performance characteristics when compared with other commonly used aluminium alloys.
Stainless Steel
- Stainless steel subframe systems for rainscreen are designed in accordance with Eurocodes 3 & 9.
- NVELOPE stainless steel brackets are manufactured from 316 grade alloy, selected for its resistance to localised corrosion in environments such as maritime and polluted areas.
Options
- Utilising Project Builder Thermal, SFS can support project-specific assessment of thermal performance and budget requirements. Whether a lower or a higher thermal performance is required our Thermal Solutions range offers the ability to fine tune your project requirements.
- NVELOPE brackets allow for adjustment between the face of the primary support to outer face of vertical profiles.
- Green isolators, made from hard polypropylene, are assembled as standard. These isolators are used to support reduced thermal bridging within the calculated design.
