With current travel restrictions in place, it’s a shame we can’t all enjoy the new arrivals hall situated in the T2 terminal of Melbourne airport.

ARC Plaster, guided by our Victorian distributor CSP Architectural, showed us how easy it is to install this complex angled layout, using our Nvelope NV3 concealed fixing system and SFS TUF-S anchors.

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 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.
