What a ventilated façade subframe consists of
- Helping hand brackets (EN AW-6063 T66, 3 mm) are anchored to the wall over rigid PVC thermal isolator pads.
- Vertical aluminium T and L profiles are fixed to the brackets with stainless blind rivets or self-drilling screws.
- The cladding is fixed to the profiles; porcelain stoneware is held with visible stainless steel clips.
- Anchors, plugs, rivets and thermal pads complete the system.

FAQ
Which cladding is the subframe suitable for?
All types of façade cladding — porcelain stoneware, HPL panels, fibre cement, aluminium composite panels and natural stone. Visible stainless steel clips are needed only for porcelain stoneware; the brackets, profiles and fixings are the same for every cladding.
What does a ventilated façade subframe consist of?
Aluminium brackets are anchored to the wall over thermal isolator pads; vertical T and L profiles are fixed to the brackets with stainless steel blind rivets or self-drilling screws; porcelain stoneware tiles are held on the profiles with visible stainless steel clamps. All these parts are in our range.
How many brackets do I need per m²?
At the typical bracket spacing of 600 × 600 mm: about 2.8 brackets, 2.8 thermal pads and 1.7 m of vertical profile per m² of façade. The final spacing depends on the cladding and the project.
Which bracket length do I need?
Choose by the thickness of mineral wool insulation. Our recommendation: 76 mm — façades without insulation; 120 mm — 80 mm insulation; 150 mm — 100 mm insulation; 180 mm — 120 mm insulation; 210 mm — 150 mm insulation. Each length comes in widths 50, 70, 120, 140 mm.
Which thermal pad fits my bracket?
The 160×60×5 mm rigid PVC thermal isolator pad fits every bracket in our range: use it whole under 120 and 140 mm wide brackets and split it in half under 50 and 70 mm wide brackets. Pads are sold in boxes of 400 pcs.
Which clamp do I need?
Choose by tile thickness and position. For porcelain stoneware tiles 7–8 mm thick use the 7.5 mm clamps, for 9–10 mm tiles — the 9.5 mm clamps. Starter clamps hold the first (bottom) row of tiles, intermediate clamps the joints between rows, corner clamps the façade corners. All are visible clamps made of 1.2 mm stainless steel.
Which rivets join the profiles?
Stainless steel blind rivets 4.8×8 mm and 4.8×12 mm, packed 1000 pcs; self-drilling pan head screws 4.8×19 mm can be used instead.
