Description
Features
- NV3 is the NVELOPE system for concealed fastening/mechanically attached applications—vertical cladding applications.
- Secured using hangers and undercut stud anchors or screws to provide a concealed attachment.
- Horizontal NVELOPE channel profiles are secured to the vertical profiles. Rainscreen panels are hung from and secured to the horizontal profiles with hangers and adjustable hangers.
- NVELOPE 'T' and 'L' profiles are secured using NVELOPE support brackets, attached through a series of fixed and flexible points.
- NVELOPE fixed point brackets absorb both vertical dead loads.
- NVELOPE bracket spacing is determined by cladding options such as the dimensions and weight of the facade cladding, and local wind loads.
- NVELOPE flexible point brackets absorb wind loading and allow for expansion and contraction.
