Fastenings for ventilated facades - Series S

The anchoring system is composed of a vertical C shape profile type K2 (X) in steel (Y) cold formed and with slot on the backside, distance 50 mm from slot to slot, cut in bar of exact length according to the project requirements. The vertical groove along the vertical profile allows, with the use of special nut, the front connection of the cladding tile and the fast correction of the level and alignment.

The vertical profiles are fixed to the wall at a specific distance each other (normally in the middle of the vertical joint of the cladding) by means of a steel special bracket (Y), i.e. plate OMEGA shape. The bracket dimension is calculated according to the load and the shape is studied to reduce the thermal bridge. The load brackets are fixed to the structure in concrete by means of anchors (mechanical or chemical) and allows an adjustment of ±20 mm of the vertical alignment. The vertical profile is also fixed along the wall by means of threated bar and anchors according to the wall material.

The horizontal profile type S (W), in aluminium EN AW 6060T6 (Z) is designed to support and hold the marble panel all along the base. This solution helps a lot during the installation of the marble and also reduces the load on the stone. In order to connect the top of the stone to the horizontal profile S, stainless steel A2 (AISI 304) clip must be inserted in the kerf, which is made in the thickness of the stone. The stone is vertically pushed by the installer until the clip is connected to the gap on the bottom of the horizontal profile. The horizontal profile has also a gap on top to allow the connection to the vertical profile without holes.
