Application

Suitable for horizontal and vertical applications.

Description

The distinct Vantage® SF sectret fix rainscreen cladding system allows a range of colours and designs to be easily incorporated onto a building, to match the changing face of a business; the orientation of the panels can be changed, offering complete aesthetic versatility and keeping the design fresh and contemporary.


It is fully drained and back ventilated rainscreen cladding system. The installation procedure starts at the bottom of the building wall, where it is possible to start on multiple vertical columns simultaneously bringing real flexibility to the construction programme on site. Panels can be installed in either portrait or landscape orientation – or a mix of the two - and a library of standardized corner, head, jamb, sill and window pod details offer specifiers a ‘cut and paste’ design option with the scope for truly individual design concepts.


Features and benefits:

  • Capable of being fully adjusted to accommodate building tolerances.
  • 20 mm joint detail brings crisp, clean, uncluttered lines to the building.
  • Matching or contrasting colour inserts add the perfect finishing touch.
  • Available in a wide range of materials and finishes.


Components:

  • Hands free brackets.
  • Vantage® SF support rails.
  • Vantage® SF hooks.
  • Vantage® SF façade panels.
  • Colour strips.
  • Fixings.
