Nvelope NV3

Details

NV3 is the Nvelope system for mechanical concealed / secret fix cladding applications.

Secured using hangers and undercut stud anchors or screws to provide a concealed rear fixing.

Horizontal carrier profiles are fixed to our vertical profiles. Rainscreen panels are hung from and secured to the horizontal profiles with adjustable hangers.

Nvelope ‘T’ and ‘L’ profiles are fixed using Nvelope ‘helping hand’ support brackets, fixed through a series of fixed and sliding points.

Nvelope fixed point brackets absorb both vertical and dead loads.

Nvelope bracket spacing is determined by cladding options such as the dimensions and weight of the facade cladding, local wind loads, cladding zone and substrate.

Nvelope sliding point brackets absorb wind loading and allow for expansion and contraction.

Applications

NV3 is suitable for concealed / secret fix cladding applications – mechanical elements fix to the following substrates:
