About
- The Nvelope NV9 system is our simplest Nvelope support system, comprised of omega and zed profiles.
- Suitable for rainscreen applications requiring a shallow cladding zone either, 25mm, or 40mm per layer.
- This simplistic system does not allow for level and adjustment between the substrate and the front of the façade without the use of packing.
Applications
The NV9 system is our top hat system, suitable for direct face fix or adhesive secret fixing of cladding panels or used as the base system for horizontal concealed carrier rails i.e., NV93.
Typically, Zed profiles are used at the corner/end junctions and Omega profiles are used on panel joints. NV9 profiles are fixed to the substrate using SFS primary fixings. NV9 system is available in single or double-layer options.
Suitable panel types include,
- Fibre cement Panels
- Glass reinforced concrete (GRC)
- High pressure laminate (HPL)
- ACM & Solid Aluminium Cladding
- Metal rainscreen panels
- Brick Slips
- Terracotta
Features
- Manufactured from extruded aluminium alloys conforming to AS/NZS 1866:1997 (material) and EN 755 production standards.
- Non-Combustible to AS1530.1
- Suitable in high corrosive environments C4 and C5.
- Engineered to Australian Standards.

The selection of materials to use in the construction of a subframe system within a rainscreen façade is of paramount importance. Material choice can also affect the thermal performance of the overall rainscreen in addition to engineering assurance.
- Aluminium is inherently corrosion resistant however this can be complemented and further improved by additional treatment including anodising and powder coating.
- All NVELOPE systems only use the superior 6005 T5 alloy, which provides superior strength and performance over and above other commonly used aluminium.
