This reclad project was meticulously executed by our friends at Goal Interiors. TTW assisted with design and NCC FP1.4 compliance. Waterproofing was achieved using our Proctor Passive Rainscreen-IT (RS-IT). The Equitone cladding was fixed using our SFS TUF-S concealed anchors on our NV3 Carrier rail.

About Nvelope NV3

NV3 is the Nvelope system for mechanical concealed / secret fix cladding applications. Secured using hangers and undercut, stud anchors or screws to provide a concealed rear fixing. Horizontal carrier profiles are fixed to our vertical profiles. Rainscreen panels are hung from and secured to the horizontal profiles with adjustable hangers. Nvelope ‘T’ and ‘L’ profiles are fixed using Nvelope ‘helping hand’ support brackets, fixed through a series of fixed and sliding points. Nvelope fixed point brackets absorb both vertical and dead loads. Nvelope bracket spacing is determined by cladding options such as the dimensions and weight of the facade cladding, local wind loads, cladding zone and substrate. Nvelope sliding point brackets absorb wind loading and allow for expansion and contraction.

About Proctor Passive Rainscreen RS-IT

ProctorPassive Rainscreen with Integrated Tape (RS-IT) is a two-layer vapour permeable membrane consisting of a spun-bonded polyester layer with a unique functional coating that offers improved resistance against UV and high temperatures up to 120°C.

About SFS TUF-S

The TUF-S blind fastener from SFS is superior to previous approaches to the concealed attachment of fibre cement, HPL or GRC type cladding panels.

Installation can be performed quickly and securely by one person, without using special tools. Installation time can also be reduced by up to 50% compared with conventional blind attachments. The TUF-S blind fastener can be removed once if required.
