Halfen Sub Structure Systems

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 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.

HALFEN SUK system

The HALFEN SUK system is an adjustable suspended channel system suitable for cavities >160mm, with support and restraint fixings which are adjustable vertically along the channel. It is ideal for both new construction and projects using an existing structure. The system is especially suitable for natural stone facades with large and varying distances between the façade and load bearing structure. The minimal number of connection points allows speedy installation of the stainless steel substructure enabling quick and simple installation of the natural stone panels.

Quality features:

  • stainless steel A4
  • easy to install system
  • adjustable fastening on HALFEN assembly channels
  • spans non-load-bearing constructions
  • high resistance to corrosion
  • high load bearing capacity

HALFEN UKB Sub structure system

The HALFEN UKB Sub structure system is a freely adjustable system comprising vertical aluminium ‘U’ profiles and standard stainless steel Body anchors. It is designed for installation in the clear cavity of natural stone ventilated rain screen facades. The vertical ‘U’ profiles are fixed back to the
loadbearing structure using A4 stainless steel support and restraint brackets at wide centres thereby reducing thermal bridging to a minimum. The brackets are fixed to the structure using either Halfen cast in channels or Halfen Anchor bolts. The UKB system is suitable for cavities of 130 to 320mm and offers
three dimensional adjustment of +/- 20mm. Depending on the specific
environmental conditions, protection against surface corrosion must be considered, for example using barrier tape.

Quality features:

  • Stainless steel A4 / aluminium
  • Very easy system installation
  • Quick installation allows quicker progress
  • ‘In many cases, adjustable hanging channel system’ 
  • Spans non-loadbearing building elements
