Regarding bracket and profile configuration, our Cladmate Technical Department is here to assist you. Whether you have questions or need guidance, visit our Project Builder or contact us at technical@cladmate.co.uk.
Our brackets are designed to meet a variety of needs.
The simple but effective “Helping hand” design ensuring quicker and safer installation of L & T profiles as well as providing scope for up to 40mm adjustment in depth of cavity.
For a typical bracket configuration, the double bracket is the fixed point fixing at the top of the T/L profile, providing excellent support for vertical dead loads. Meanwhile, the single bracket excels as the slotted point setting for all other positions of the T/L profiles, efficiently absorbing wind loads.
The brackets’ base features versatile fixing slots suitable for concrete, masonry, lightweight steel, and timber. These brackets are expertly crafted to meet BS EN 1090-3:2008 standards, using durable aluminium alloy 6063 T6 or stainless-steel Grade 304. Offering exemplary corrosion resistance and a Euroclass A1 fire rating.
Choose from anodized aluminium for standard use or opt for a custom finish with our mill finish and powder-coated options.
Fortis Single Helping Hand Brackets are available in sizes from 40mm to 300mm.
Fortis Double Helping Hand Brackets are available in sizes from 40mm to 300mm and come in two different bracket bases depending on the type of the substrate.
