Vertical base profile

The BFP-200 profile has been developed for vertical use in combination with Facafix façade screws (all diameters). The profile can be used to construct both single and multiple support structures. This profile has a working width of 78 mm and is suitable for façade systems that do not require a wide vertical supporting structure, or as an intermediate support for wide façade cladding.

Facafix screws

The pre-formed channels for the Facafix cladding screws have also been developed and tested (tensile tests) for these profiles to ensure perfect thread formation and adhesion between the Facafix screw and the aluminium profile. The Facafix screw channels on this profile are used for both the horizontal Facafix façade screws and the diagonal Facafix façade screws (30°). Façade cladding requiring a wider profile can make use of the alternative BFP-210 profile.

Couplings

By means of the connectors / spacers These profiles can be joined together seamlessly to ensure they remain perfectly straight. These connectors/spacers also ensure a fixed gap of 10 mm to allow for thermal expansion.

This profile is available in standard lengths or cut to size, pre-anodised (black) or unfinished. On the standard lengths, CNC-machined holes can be provided at the ends as standard to facilitate installation. This allows the profiles to be suspended at the ends without the need for pre-drilling, before the remaining fixings are drilled and screwed in on site.
