Vertical profiles for heavy subframe system ATK101

The two-legged or closed vertical aluminum profiles are part of the ATK101 subframe system for ventilated rainscreen façades. These profiles and systems are mostly used for high load requirements. They are used for vertical load transfer of the occurring loads and pass these on to the subsequent subframe elements. The vertical profiles are connected to the other subframe elements with system rivets or self-tapping screws. Together with the wall holders of the ATK101 system and their projection, the geometry of the vertical profile determines the façade offset. This system also enables the compensation of structural tolerances of the building substrate. Direct fixing of façade panels to the vertical profiles can be visibly riveted/screwed or invisibly glued. In addition, the profiles can be used as a distance substructure and as a base structure (e.g. for horizontal systems with concealed fixings due to usage of undercut anchors). Different geometries allow applications for all cladding materials. The profiles are available in 6 m lengths as standard.
