Downer Framing - DCS004/DCS031 Mechanical Secret Fix, On Helping Hand System - Rainscreen framing

Downer Framing aluminium rainscreen framing systems are ideal for multiple sector applications and construction projects. A BBA approved framing system, it is ideal for use as a sub-frame to support cladding on the external or internal walls in structures of new or existing buildings.

Our Downer Framing aluminium rainscreen framing systems are generally used for cladding applications for both internal and external facades, as well as living wall systems where Downer rainscreen framing is used as the sub-state for the application of living wall 'green facade' solutions.

The brackets and rails support the decorative cladding facade and create the cavity between the building substrate and façade panel providing vital insulation and ventilation.

Downer aluminium framing solutions are used for endless rainscreen cladding systems and are appropriate for a multitude of man-made, composite and natural facade panels, which use mechanical fix and structural adhesive techniques.

All Downer Framing envelope subframe systems can be calculated and optimised using Downer Designer.

Downer Designer is a free to use online tool which enables you to outline all your project specific rainscreen requirements to generate your optimal framing design. All of which is stored and managed in your own personal online account.

Simply enter the information you know, along with any detail specific requirements. Our technical team will then provide you with: static and thermal calculations, along with relevant costings, optimised component and fixing configurations, and NBS specification – all of which you can print off or save as a pdf.
