Description

Certificate holder: Woodform Architectural Pty Ltd.

The Velo Facades® system is an exterior rainscreen cladding system.

Velo Facades® rainscreen cladding system consists of a click-on aluminium cladding, an optional continuous cavity insulation and a standard cavity with either a rigid air barrier or flexible weather-resistant membrane.

• Thermal Cavity System incorporates thermal insulation external to a rigid air barrier.
• Standard Cavity System does not incorporate thermal insulation (but insulation may be incorporated within the framed structure to which it is attached - outside the scope of this certification).

Velo Facades® rainscreen cladding system features an extruded aluminium mounting track with a proprietary clip mechanism and extruded aluminium panels, available in three finishes:

• Polyolefin Film Wrapped
• Powder Coated
• Anodised.
