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.

Velo_Mounting_Straight_Mounting_Track

  • Group 1-S according to NZBC C/VM2

Combustibility:

Deemed non-combustible according to AS 1530.1, NCC 2022 Vol 1 and NZBC C/AS2.

Cladding Type (NZBC C/AS2): 

  • Powder coating: Type A
  • Wood Finish: Type B
  • Anodising: Type A

United States

  • ASTM E84: All finishes - Class A
  • ASTM E136-19a: Non-combustible

United Kingdom

BS EN 13501-1 Classification:

  • Wood Finish: Class B-s1, d0
  • Powder coating: Testing in progress
  • Anodising: Class A1 

Fire - BAL Ratings

Aluminium, deemed non-combustible per AS 1530.1 and AS 1530.3, is suitable for BAL 12.5 and BAL 19 without any additional inclusions in reference to AS 3959.

For BAL 29, 40 and FZ, compliancy 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.

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.

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.

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.
