Fastenings for ventilated facades - Series SK

The anchoring system is composed of vertical C shape profile type K2 (X) in steel (Y) cold formed and with slot on the backside, distance 50 mm from slot to slot, cut in bar of exact length according to the project requirements. The vertical groove along the vertical profile allows, with the use of special nut, the front connection of the cladding tile and the fast correction of the level and alignment.

The vertical profiles are fixed to the wall at a specific distance each other (normally in the middle of the vertical joint of the cladding) by means of a steel special bracket (Y), i.e. plate OMEGA shape. The bracket dimension is calculated according to the load and the shape is studied to reduce the thermal bridge. he load brackets are fixed to the structure in concrete by means of anchors (mechanical or chemical) and allows an adjustment of ±20 mm of the vertical alignment. The vertical profile is also fixed along the wall by means of threated bar and anchors according to the wall material.

The horizontal profile type S (W) , in aluminium EN AW 6060T6 (Z) is designed to support and hold the cladding  panel all along the base. This solution helps a lot during the installation of the cladding and also reduces the load on the stone.

The tube type SK1 cut in bars of  exact length (i.e. height of the tile) on the back side of the tile will be applied by means of the adhesive type SIKA TACK PANEL. The tubes have two channel on the lateral side to allow the insertion of the spacer QK1. The spacers have the purpose to maintain the tube SK1 parallel to the tile, moreover have the purpose to control the thickness of the adhesive joint (very important issue). The plate PK1 on the top and on the base of the tube will be inserted by fixing it with a rivet. The plate PK1 has a groove to allow the connection with the profile and clips series S.
