Downer Framing DCS021 Omega & Zed Tech Guide

DCS021 SYSTEM OVERVIEW Downer DCS021 framing system is designed to provide vertical support to most rainscreen cladding panels using the principle of a ventilated façade. The Omega and Zed extruded rails are designed to be installed onto a continuous structural load bearing substrate to offer direct support to the cladding panels by face or adhesive fixing them. It can also be used as a support to other framing systems such as our DCS004 Mechanical Secret Fix or combined with DCS031 & DCS041, or another layer of DCS021 Omega and Zeds to provide horizontally orientated support rails. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Vertical Rails should be set out in accordance with the structural engineers’ calculations or necessary building regulation.
