Application

Cladding rail system suitable for over cladding buildings with timber or other cladding mediums.

Description

Making the connection between waterproofing and design. The ROOFTRAK® CRS is a versatile and easy to use system for over cladding buildings with timber rainscreen facade or other cladding mediums. The system is specifically suited to enabling permeable rainscreen over a waterproofing membrane.

Combined with the ROOFTRAK® IFP system, it provides a secure and weathertight connection between the cladding and the building structure without compromising the weathering membrane or its guarantee.

Features and benefits:

  • Compatible with all mechanically fixed and fully bonded roof membranes.
  • Can be used on any roof pitch from 0°–90°.
  • Enables design creativity allowing users to create an external façade design whilst maintaining the integrity of the all important waterproofing layer.
  • Designed to support the cladding medium very close to the building form, reflecting the architectural value of the chosen design more closely.
  • The CRS system will not invalidate the warranty attached to the chosen roof covering.
  • An engineered and structurally approved system providing adequate resistance to wind loads throughout the UK.
  • The CRS system can be installed by the on-site tradesmen - no requirement for specialist labour.

Products

CR cladding rail, RJ rail joiner, TR trimming rail, VT verge trimmer and CRS-AP angle profile.

Guidance for specification option:

CRS-CR Cladding Rail:

  • Main component in the system and is normally installed perpendicular to the direction of the cladding.
  • The rail can be cantilevered off the fixing points and the trimming rail and verge trimmer can be used to provide support or intermediate fixing between the cladding rails where required.

CRS-RJ Rail Joiner:

  • Connects lengths of cladding rail together.
  • Positioned at any point along the length of the rail including in the span between fixing points.
  • Helps to maximize use of the cladding rail which is cut and joined as necessary

CRS-TR Trimming Rail:

  • Used within the perimeter of the area to be clad to provide intermediate supports where required.
  • Typically at change of pitch or around windows and openings.
  • Fixed into the flange of the cladding rail and aligns with the top face to provide a flush surface for supporting the cladding material.

CRS-VT Verge Trimmer:

  • Designed to sit between the cladding rails to provide support along the perimeter of the area to be clad where required.
  • The top face is level with the top of the cladding rail providing a flush finish for the cladding material to be fixed to.

CRS-AP Angle Profile:

  • Supplied pre-folded to a specific angle and can be used to connect cladding together at a change of pitch or between different planes.
  • Provides a continuous edge to which the cladding can be fixed helping to keep the building lines crisp and clean.

Fixing system

Rooftrak IFP integrated fixing point with CRS-CP connection plate.

Guidance for specification option:

Rooftrak IFP Integrated Fixing Point:

  • Patented fixing point system is compatible with all types of membrane roofing materials and systems.
  • Supplied factory fitted with a compatible weathering flange to integrate with the chosen roofing system.

CRS-CP Connection Plate:

  • Connects the cladding rail to the fixing point.
  • Installed as a fixed connection or a moving connection to allow for expansion in the cladding rails.
