As aconsequence of thermal expansion, thelength of the profiles normally does notexceed the storey height.

Our approach to facades● <strong>Eurofox</strong> Aluminium Rainscreen cladding support systems havebeen developed to service the ever changing face of facade designand the Architects / Engineers demands for more flexible andeconomical cladding solutions and are suitable for New Build /Renovation - Steel / Concrete / SIPS substructure - up to any height● Modern Rainscreen support systems need to maintain quality andoffer excellent technical performance - We offer advanced verticaland horizontal support systems, utilising both mechanical fix andstructural adhesive techniques for visible and concealedconstruction● <strong>Eurofox</strong> systems are available for facades ranging fromlightweight panels to 70 + kg/m2 cladding elements● <strong>Eurofox</strong> facade ventilated rainscreen systems incorporateextruded aluminium fully adjustable ‘helping hand’ supportbracket and rail systems, and include <strong>Eurofox</strong> isolator pads tomitigate cold bridging● Cladding zones from 40 - 340 mm can be accommodated.

The structural requirements of the back framingsystem can be calculated to ensure the integrity of theinstallation. Project material quantities can be accuratelyestimated and potential cost savings identified<strong>Eurofox</strong> can provide static calculations and setting outinformation for the components and rails that will berequired to support the chosen facade. Each calculation is‘project specific’ and will reflect the engineering intent ofthe scheme e.g. panel weight / cladding zone / buildingheight and the architectural intent e.g. panel layoutStraightforward access is provided via completion of the‘Project Checklist’ via www.eurofoxengineering.com<strong>Eurofox</strong> systems are all produced in European facilities and aremanufactured using appropriate alloys - Systems have beentested in the UK at BRE and Taylor Woodrow facilitiesDesign Matters- Static calculations- Specification writing assistance- AutoCAD- Layout advice- Method statements6 ☎ 01707 333 396
