Fastening and substructure systems

We collaborate with SFS, a provider of high-quality substructure systems and design services that make installing facade panels easy and quick.

A ventilated substructure is a fastening system that allows free airflow in the structure behind the facade panels. Wooden frames are the traditional way to implement a ventilated substructure, but aluminium-based frames are quickly becoming more popular. We collaborate with SFS, a provider of high-quality substructure systems and design services that make installing facade panels easy and quick. Please contact SFS for more information on different substructure systems.

SFS Intec’s NV1 vertical substructure system is suitable for fastening facade panels mechanically with screws or rivets by piercing the panels. The NV1 system is made with extruded aluminium in accordance with the EN 573-3 (material) and EN 755 (manufacture) standards.

SFS Intec’s NV3 is an NVELOPE system with which the facade panels are fixed mechanically from behind to support brackets. With the NV3 system, the facade panels are attached to horizontal profiles supported by a vertical substructure system.

The NV3 is most often used with the NV1 vertical system.

The NV4 (Trespa ts200) is a hidden mechanical fastened system with T and L profiles designed specifically for the Trespa Meteon HPL facade panels. The facade panels are attached to horizontal profiles supported by a vertical substructure system. The NV4 (Trespa ts200) system is made with extruded aluminium in accordance with EN 573-3 (material) and EN 755 (manufacture) standards.

6063-T66 aluminium is used for the Trespa components, and T6005A-T6 for the NV1 components.

The NV5 (Trespa ts300) is a hidden fastened system with horizontal channel profiles designed specifically for the Trespa Meteon HPL panels with grooved edge profiles. The facade panels are supported from their bottom edges with the NVELOPE NV5 (Trespa ts300) channel profiles designed specifically to fit the groove on the panels’ edges.

Vertical joints can be made open or half laps by utilising the half-grooved edge of the panel.
