NVELOPE NV1 vertical face fastened system
NV1 is the NVELOPE back frame system for vertical cladding applicationsÂ
NV1 provides optimal support for face-attachment and rivet-attachment cladding elements including fiber cement, high-pressure laminate (HPL), ACM and metal rainscreen panels. NV1 is the basis of all NVELOPE support systems.
Intentional design. Exceptional results.
Versatile compatibility: Designed for use with fiber cement, HPL, ACM, and metal panels, NV1 adapts easily to a broad range of cladding systems.
Engineered strength: Fixed and flexible bracket points share loads efficiently, upholding integrity under wind pressure and thermal movement.
High-performance materials: Optimal material selection enables the NV1 to provide high strength, low weight, and corrosion resistance, even in demanding environments.
Sustainable construction: Produced from low‑carbon, largely recycled aluminum, NV1 helps reduce embodied carbon while supporting long‑term building sustainability goals.
Thermal and structural flexibility: Adjustable brackets and integrated thermal isolators minimize thermal bridging and allow precision alignment for energy‑efficient design.
NV1 System Specifications
Features
- NV1 is the NVELOPE back frame for vertical cladding applications.Â
- NVELOPE 'T' and 'L' profiles are attached using NVELOPE support brackets, secured through a series of fixed and flexible points.Â
- NVELOPE flexible point brackets absorb wind loading and allow for expansion and contraction.Â
- NVELOPE fixed point brackets absorb both vertical dead loads.
- NVELOPE bracket spacing is determined by cladding options such as the dimensions and weight of the facade cladding, local wind loads, and cladding zone.
Approvals/Compliance
- British Board of AgreementÂ
- Meets the compliance requirements of ASHRAE 90.1 and NFPA 285.
Options
- NVELOPE brackets: allows adjustment between the face of the primary support to outer face of vertical profile.
- Thermal isolators: hard PVC isolator assembled as standard (located between the NVELOPE bracket and the primary structural support system).
Extruded Aluminum Alloy 6005A‑T6 for lasting strength and sustainability
Foundational to the NV1 system is its use of high‑performance extruded aluminum alloy 6005A‑T6, selected for its exceptional balance of strength, low weight, and corrosion resistance. This material ensures that NV1 components deliver reliable structural performance while remaining easy to handle and install—whether in new construction or retrofit projects. The alloy’s durability is further enhanced through optional anodizing, providing additional surface protection while retaining a Euroclass A1 fire rating.
