Vertical fixing

Horizontal fixing

1 Clipped Connection, adjust

For initial line and level adjustment theEUROFOX profiles are clipped into theMacFOX-brackets

3 MacFOX – fixed point

The vertical profile is fixed to theMacFOX support bracket by screwsthrough the round holes. TheMacFOX bracket absorbs bothvertical dead loads and horizontalwind loads

5 Structural systemvertical fixing

Each vertical profile is fixed to oneMacFOX fixed point and a number ofMacFOX flexible point brackets. As aconsequence of thermal expansion, thelength of the profiles normally does notexceed the storey height. The bracketspacing is determined by claddingoptions such as the dimensions andweight of the facade cladding, windloads and cladding zone

Eurofox systems are fully adjustable in 1 mm increments from 40 mm - 340 mm

4 MacFOX – flexiblepoint

Screws fixed through theelongated holes connect thevertical profile to the MacFOXbracket. Consequently, thermalexpansion is not constrained bythe support system. The MacFOXflexible point bracket absorbswindloads only

6 Clipped connection, adjustFor initial line and level adjustment the Eurofox profiles areclipped into the XFox brackets

7 Final fixingAfter adjustment the profiles are fixed to the XFOX-bracketswith screws. Round holes and elongated holes in the XFOX-brackets allow the creation of both, fixed points (FP) andflexible points (GP)

2 Final Fixing After adjustment the EUROFOX profilesare fixed to the MacFOX-brackets withscrews. Round holes and elongatedholes in the MacFOX-brackets allow forthe creation of both, fixed points (FP)and flexible fixing points (GP)

l Eurofox Aluminium Rainscreen cladding support systems have been developed to service the ever changing face of facade design and the Architects / Engineers demands for more flexible and economical cladding solutions and are suitable for New Build / Renovation - Steel / Concrete / SIPS substructure - up to any height

l Modern Rainscreen support systems need to maintain quality and offer excellent technical performance - We offer advanced vertical and horizontal support systems, utilising both mechanical fix and structural adhesive techniques for visible and concealed construction

l Eurofox systems are available for facades ranging from lightweight panels to 70 + kg/m2 cladding elements

l Eurofox facade ventilated rainscreen systems incorporate extruded aluminium fully adjustable ‘helping hand’ support bracket and rail systems, and include Eurofox isolator pads to mitigate cold bridging

l Cladding zones from 40 - 340 mm can be accommodated. This versatility provides the designer with an almost infinite range of facade appearances and layout options, each of which must be safely engineered

At Eurofox we believe that cladding is a serious business. Eurofox offer a support service for the safe and optimised setting out of Rainscreen bracket components, rails and grid systems. The structural requirements of the back framing system can be calculated to ensure the integrity of the installation. Project material quantities can be accurately estimated and potential cost savings identified

Eurofox can provide static calculations and setting out information for the components and rails that will be required to support the chosen facade. Each calculation is ‘project specific’ and will reflect the engineering intent of the scheme e.g. panel weight / cladding zone / building height and the architectural intent e.g. panel layout

Straightforward access is provided via completion of the ‘Project Checklist’ via www.eurofoxengineering.com

Eurofox systems are all produced in European facilities and aremanufactured using appropriate alloys - Systems have been tested in the UK at BRE and Taylor Woodrow facilities
