Sub Channel Fixing Systems
Sub channel systems are an effective solution for attaching stone cladding to non-load bearing walls or wall structures with significant projections.
Sub Channel Fixing Systems
Sub channel systems are an effective solution for attaching stone cladding to non-load bearing walls or wall structures with significant projections. These systems use specially designed channel supports and restraints to span channels between floor levels, creating a sub-frame that facilitates installation with set screws and lock nuts.
Sub channel systems allow for three-dimensional adjustments, ensuring precise alignment. This flexibility compensates for unevenness in the main structure and various wall projections, achieving perfect horizontal and vertical alignment. The channels are fixed to the main structure without stress, preventing potential damage or strain to the building. Fewer drilling points are needed, increasing the production rate. This reducesthe frequency of wall penetrations, maintaining structural integrity and insulation properties.
Sub Channel Systems
Sub channel systems are a combination of components consisting of vertical and/or horizontal channels positioned to span between floor levels.
Channel supports and restraints are used to attach the channels to the load-bearing structure. Cladding panels are attached to the channels with brackets, which are fixed using set screws or lock nut sets.
HMP Channels
There are various types of channels with different dimensions to choose from in order to fulfill the loading and installation requirements.
A sub channel system is formulated with the channel types below. Channels can be manufactured in different lengths up to 6 metres with specified drilled hole types.
Channels are manufactured in stainless steel and hot-dip galvanized steel.
HCSP Channel Supports
Channels are fastened to substrates using HCSP channel supports. These supports carry the entire load of the cladding installed on the sub channel system.
There are different types of channel supports to accommodate various load capacities and projection sizes. Channel supports are supplied in stainless steel and hot-dip galvanized steel.
HCRS Channel Restraints
Channel restraints are used to strengthen the channels against wind loads, preventing buckling and deflection.
They also accommodate building and cladding movements exerted on the sub channel systems. There are different types of channel restraints to suit various system types and projection sizes.
Channel restraints are supplied in stainless steel and hot-dip galvanized steel.
Anchors and Brackets
Anchors are used to connect panels to the sub channel systems. They are fixed onto the channels using set screws or lock nut sets.
Depending on the loading requirements and projections needed, there are various types and sizes of anchors available.
Anchors are supplied in stainless steel grade AISI 304 and AISI 316.
