Cladding plays an important role in stiffening the structure against wind loadings to ensure deflection is within guidelines. It is important to consult a qualified professional for advice when using systems not approved by SkeleFrame.

SkeleFrame is pre-drilled for installation of our approved brackets and C-section beams for horizontal mid support of cladding systems. The system is designed to support window installation at the correct height to allow for a secondary escape route under The Approved Document B. In addition, the cladding support system has been analysed for façade wind loadings.

​

To allow for flexibility and preferred methods of cladding installation, timber and steel studwork can also be used in accordance with manufacturers guidelines.
