NVELOPE® Framing

NV1 is a vertical framing system suitable for a wide range of face fixed cladding systems and is the basis of all NVELOPE® support systems.

•  Through a series of fixed and sliding points, 'T' and 'L' profiles are fixed with helping hand support brackets
• Flexible point brackets allow for contraction and expansion and absorb wind loading 
• Fixed point brackets absorb vertical dead loads 
• Spacing of the brackets is determined by the dimensions and weight of the rainscreen cladding used, as well as local wind loads and the buildings substrate

NV3 is the system for vertical secret fix and vertical mechanically fixed applications. 

• 'T' and 'L profiles are fixed with helping hand support brackets through a number of fixed and flexible points 
• Flexible brackets absorb wind loading and allow for any expansion or contraction 
• Fixed point brackets absorb both dead and vertical loads
• Bracket spacing is determined by the rainscreen cladding dimensions and weight amongst other variables 

The NV6 support system is suitable for supporting a timber batten to which vertical and/or horizontal cladding is fixed. 

• This concealed fix system uses helping hand brackets 
• Flexible brackets absorb wind loading and expansion/contraction
• Fixed point brackets absorb dead and vertical loads
• The bracket spacing is determined by the cladding dimensions and weight as well as local wind loads and substrate

NV7 is used for secret fix 'cassette' vertical cladding applications. 

• 'T' and 'L' profiles are fixed using helping hand support brackets 
• Flexible brackets absorb wind loading and allow for any contraction or expansion 
• Fixed point brackets absorb vertical and dead loads 
• The dimensions and weight of the cladding determines the bracket spacing 

NV8 is an alternative framing system for secret fix/mechanically secret fixed applications. 

• 'L' profiles are fixed using NVELOPE® support brackets 
• Sliding point brackets absorb wind load and allow for expansion and contraction of the facade 
• Fixed point brackets absorb dead and vertical loads
• The spacing of the brackets is determined by the dimensions and weight of the attached cladding

NV9 is a simple support system which is comprised of Omega and Z profiles. This framing system is suitable for rainscreens with a shallow cladding zone of up to 40mm and due to its simplicity, does not allow for level and adjustment between the facade and substrate. 

• Only suitable for face fixed or adhesive secret fix panels 
• Z profiles are used at the corner joints 
• Omega profiles used on panel joints 
• Profiles screwed back to substrate using fixings 

NV10 is a subframe system suitable for offsite/factory application of face fixed or concealed fixed panelling. 

• 'L' profiles are fixed using support brackets 
• The bracket spacing is determined by the size of the cladding panels 
• Fixed point brackets absorb vertical dead loads
• Sliding point brackets absorb wind loading and allow for any contraction or expansion 

NS1 is the system with an aluminium frame construction which uses steel fixings. 

• Suitable for face fixed application with a maximum panel weight of 75kg/m2
• Applicable drop zone between 120mm and 1000mm. Soffit application can be fixed to steel frame, timber frame or concrete substrates 
• 'T' rails are fixed to the bottom of the 'L' rails where panel joints occur 

System suitable for vertical floor to floor cladding applications.

• Floor to floor box and 'T' profiles are fixed using support brackets 
• Support brackets absorb wind loading and allow for any contraction or expansion 
• Spacing of the brackets is determined by size of the cladding panels as well as local wind loads
