Length Options
Velo Cladding boards are available in lengths of up to 6m.
Spans
Cladding board and mounting track spans depend on your profile choice, wind loads and other engineering factors on the specific project. For example, 180x20mm Cladding spans of 1200mm (between mounting tracks) is suitable for up to a +2 to -2kPa ULS application. For full span chart download the Velo Facades Technical Datasheet.
Mounting Tracks
Mounting Tracks are batten carrier rails that come to site with factory-fitted batten clips for speed and accuracy.
Straight
66mm wide x 25mm deep
Designed to allow water drainage. Features factory fitted clips. The track can be directly fixed or used in combination with the offset bracket.
Curved Track
66mm wide x 25mm deep
The Curved Track has a series of cuts in the back of it to allow it to flex and follow a curved contour.
Convex/Concave Minimum Radius: (Radius to top of track)
120mm 500mm
180mm 750mm
300mm 1250mm
Ventilated Cavity Options
Thermal Cavity Fix: 60mm
Mounting Tracks offset from substrate to allow for an external insulation layer.
Offset Bracket for External Insulation: 60mm
60mm Offset Bracket has an additional 25mm of adjustment, accommodating 25mm, 38mm and 50mm of external insulation.
Thermal Cavity Fix: 110mm
Mounting Tracks offset from substrate to allow for an external insulation layer.
Offset Bracket for External Insulation: 110mm
110mm Offset Bracket has an additional 40mm of adjustment, to accommodate 75mm and 100mm thick external insulation.
Standard Cavity Fix
Mounting Tracks (25mm) fixed to substrate where no external insulation is required.Flexible Pro Clima Membrane

Corrosion Zones
The degree of corrosiveness is defined by ISO 9223 and effects the fixings used on the project. The categories are classed from C1 to CX, and typically, a cladding system used externally would be classed between C3 to CX.
Fixing Types
| Substrate | ISO 9223 Class | Fastener Types |
| Timber | C1 – C3 | 14-10 x 40mm Type 17 galvanised |
| C4 and above | 14-10 x 35mm Type 17 Stainless Steel Pit Screws | |
| Steel | C1 – C3 | 14-10x50mm Hex Washer Class Self Drilling Screws |
| C4 and above | 14-14 x 50mm Hex Washer SD Screws Bimetal 316 S/S | |
| Concrete | C1 – C3 | XSAH-Z Concrete Screw-Anchor Hex Zinc Seismic |
| C4 and above | SAH-S Stainless Concrete Screw-Anchors Hex Flange 316 (A4) |
Weatherproofing
The Velo rainscreen facade system is designed to have layers of redundancy, with each element of the buildout contributing to weather tightness, water resistance and condensate control in the wall cavity. With the outer aluminium cladding repelling and removing most of the water through drainage, supported by a ventilated cavity for pressure equalisation and drying in combination with a weather resistant membrane provides the ultimate in weather defence. Tested to AS 4284.

Alba Thermal Springs
Wallan Veterinary Hospital
The hospital is located within a residential zone and we were determined to be as respectful as possible with the neighbouring buildings. After our site analysis, we decided that a timber façade would go a long way in softening the building’s presence.
Willinga Park
Maitland Riverlink
The architecture is intended to act as a civic set piece in a street full of great buildings with enduring materials. It also must have a strong architectural form to register as a landmark when viewed from the levee bank, from neighbouring Lorn and the Belmore Bridge. We imagined a ‘sculptural gateway’ in which the material scale, grain and texture was consistent on all sides of the frame, even though the ceiling and walls couldn’t have been constructed from the same material.
Bellevue Hill House
The finished product with the spotted gum Tongue & Groove Cladding achieved all the aesthetic objectives of the client and design team to great success. Everyone who has seen the ceiling in the house is completely amazed.
Sorrento House
The whole house came together with the use of the Click-on Batten system, blackbutt, Hillview granite stone, rammed earth walls and architecture of the house. From a distance, the timber gives the house a wow factor and shows all the precise angles and elevations.
