SFS NVELOPE®
Utilising its UK Patent Pending technology SFS have been able to create a high performing solution that guards against thermal degradation due to compression of the thermal pad, ensuring no loss in thermal performance. This combined with the bracket material of Aluminium or stainless-steel ensures that a full range of tailored solutions can be created for any project.
The NVELOPE® rainscreen support brackets, primary fixings, rails and carriers are an integral part of the Rainscreen Cladding build up and their impact on heat loss in the construction plays a key role.
All NVELOPE® aluminium and stainless-steel brackets are de-fined as Euroclass A1 Non-Combustible.
Benefits of using SFS NVELOPE®
- 4 ranges across many NVELOPE® rainscreen sub-frame systems
- Range includes aluminium and stainless-steel brackets
- Non-compressible thermal pad reduces thermal performance gap
- Thermal insulation bonded to the bracket to save on installation time
- Good to exceptional thermal performance
- Part of Project Builder software
NVELOPE® Systems
NVELOPE® VB/HB Systems
NVELOPE® VB/HB
- NVELOPE® VB/HB aluminium brackets are supplied with a green plastic ‘isolator’ which offers a degree of thermal benefit. However, its principal function is to eliminate any potential of galvanic corrosion between masonry and aluminium substrates.
NVELOPE® VB/HB + Thermal
- Whilst strong and easy to install aluminium is very thermally conductive e.g. > 200 W/mk. Therefore, the thermal point loss affects can be significant when aluminium brackets are utilised depending on the combination of various elements within the rainscreen build-up.
- The NVELOPE® VB/HB + Thermal range includes an insulation pad at the base of the bracket. This dramatically improves the thermal performance of the rainscreen of the rainscreen build-up.
NVELOPE® NVS Systems
NVELOPE® NVS
- For greater performance SFS have recently introduced a complete range of stainless-steel brackets to complement NVELOPE® vertical aluminium ranges. NVELOPE®’s stainless steel range is made from superior 316 grade which exhibits far greater resistance to localised corrosion in marine and in contact with atmospheric pollution found in most built up environments. Stainless steel will demonstrate a much-improved increase in thermal performance. Typically, stainless steel if approximately 16 W/m/K. This represents a 12-x thermal improvement over and above aluminium. Additionally, stainless steel brackets have no requirement to utilise an isolator to alleviate galvanic corrosion.
NVELOPE® NVS + Thermal
- For optimum thermal performance NVELOPE® NVS + Thermal is the ideal choice. It offers the combined benefits of high thermal performancewith high corrosion resistance for costal environments. Where rainscreen build up designs prescribe demanding thermal solutions, the option could offer the ideal high-performance answer!
