Our Nvelope NV1 system was used to face fix the Rieder öko skin, glass reinforced concrete (GRC) cladding panels to the cast concrete building substrate. Our engineered VB “helping hand” brackets sped up installation time and their adjustability managed the construction tolerances typically experienced on site.

About Nvelope NV1

NV1 is the NVELOPE subframe system for vertical cladding applications. NVELOPE ‘T’ and ‘L’ profiles are fixed using NVELOPE support brackets, fixed through a series of fixed and sliding points. NVELOPE flexible point brackets absorb wind loading and allow for expansion and contraction. NVELOPE fixed point brackets absorb the vertical dead loads. NVELOPE bracket spacing is determined by cladding options such as the dimensions and weight of the façade cladding, local wind loads and cladding zone.
