NVF2F Rainscreen Subframe System
NVF2F is the NVELOPEĀ®Ā subframe system suitable for vertical floor to floor cladding applications
Suitable as a back frame system ā NVF2F is suitable for face fixing/rivet fixing cladding ā elements to e.g. fibre cement, high-pressure laminate (HPL) and metal rainscreen panels. NVF2F can support NV3 / 4 / 5 and 8 systems.
Features
- NVF2F is the NVELOPE back frame system for floor to floor cladding applications.
- NVELOPE floor to floor box and 'T' profiles are fixed using NVELOPE support brackets NVELOPE brackets absorb wind loading and allow for expansion and contraction and both vertical dead loads.
- NVELOPE Bracket spacing is determined by cladding options such as the dimensions and weight of the faƧade cladding, local wind loads and cladding zone.

Material
The selection of materials used in the construction of a subframe system within a rainscreen faƧade is important. Material choice 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 well defined UK and international supply chain
- Its low weight, strength-to-weight ratio and suitability for fabrication on site or within a manufacturing setting make it a widely used material for rainscreen subframe systems in 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.
Sustainability
Sustainability requirements are an important consideration in the design of any building. Identifying the appropriate material from a manufacturer with documented supply chain and sourcing information is important for project decision-making. At SFS:
- NVELOPEĀ® rainscreen subframe systems are predominantly made from 6005A T6 alloy, which in many applications can offer increased load performance compared with 6063 alloys, subject to project-specific calculations.
- Our 6005 alloy is sourced from extrusions manufactured using aluminium with reportedly low-carbon, typically producing only 4 kg of carbon per 1 kg of metal.
- Our alloy is manufactured from metal which, on average, constitutes 60% pre- and post-consumer scrap.
- SFS NVELOPE provides further details on reported environmental impact in relation to our alloy in our Environmental Product Declaration.

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 can help 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.Ā These isolators are used to support reduced thermal bridging within the calculated design.
