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 Systems
Thermal Cavity System: 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 System: 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 System
Mounting Tracks (25mm) fixed to substrate where no external insulation is required.Flexible Pro Clima Membrane
Suitable for non-externally insulated build outs and up to 1.8kPa SLS (Serviceability Limit State). Class 4 permeability.
Rigid Siniat Weather Defence with continuous ‘peel-and-stick’ Proclima membrane
.jpg?width=1440&height=1440&name=Velo_Rigid-Siniat-Weather-Defence-(13mm-Gypsum-Board).jpg)

When combined with gypsum sheathing boards, BAL 29, 40 and FZ can be achieved through meeting the FRL requirements in clause 9.4.1c of AS 3959. Contact us for more information.
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.
Tested to AS/NZS 4284: 2008 and the NCC Verification Methods F3V1 and H2V1’. Test Reports available:- Standard Cavity System with Flexible Membrane Serviceability
i. Limit State: ± 2kPa
ii. Ultimate Limit State: ± 2.5kPa - Thermal Cavity system with Rigid Air Barrier and External Insulation
i. Serviceability Limit State: ± 3kPa
ii. Ultimate Limit State: ± 5kPa
Seismic
- Serviceability Limit State: ±21mm
- Ultimate Limit State: ±75mm

The aluminum Click-on Screens, particularly the wood textures, are unparalleled on the market. The ability to use natural timber and aluminum battens interchangeably, with a near-perfect match in wood species and grain, provides a level of design flexibility and aesthetic cohesion that we have not found elsewhere.

In our opinion, Sculptform’s products are the best on the market. We’ve worked with many other systems, but Sculptform stands out for its quality, reliability, and ease of installation. Their click-on system is phenomenal - there’s nothing else out there like it. We never have issues, and we never get callbacks.
