SUK - Sub structure

Standard Halfen Sub structure systems typically consist of a series of vertical rails hung from the structure to which wall panel support and restraint Brackets are fixed. The vertical rails are fixed back to the structure at comparatively large spacings, reducing the number of connections to the structure. This has the advantage of reducing the number of penetrations through the building’s weather proofing and insulation layers, thereby minimising the number of thermal Bridges. This assists with the system’s compliance with the German Energy Saving Regulations (EnEv).

Halfen Sub structure systems are also suitable for spanning non-loadbearing building elements. Furthermore, the use of a pre-installed sub structure system allows fast and economical installation of the cladding panels.
Halfen offer two main categories of Sub structure:
•HALFEN SUK Stainless Steel sub structure system
•HALFEN UKB and UKH Aluminium sub structure systems

The HALFEN SUK stainless steel system is an extremely durable system suitable for use in harsh environments and to take high loads.

The HALFEN UKB aluminium system is an installation-friendly and cost effective variant.
