FastFrame Aluminium Adjustable Secret Fix Carrier Bracket for PTS Screws or TU Panel Fixings - G-C06602220.80.61

FastFrame Aluminium Adjustable Secret Fix Carrier Bracket for PTS Screws or TU Panel Fixings - G-C06602220.80.61 is a discrete aluminium extrusion designed to provide a secure, adjustable, and invisible mechanical connection. It is typically used with high-end facade materials such as High-Pressure Laminate (HPL), ceramic, stone, or fibre cement, where a clean architectural finish is paramount. The Carrier Bracket (often referred to as a Panel Hanger or Clip) is the precision-engineered component that is fixed directly to the rear of the cladding panel. The panels are simply lifted and hooked onto the horizontal carrier rail.

CHARACTERISTICS

• The bracket features a specific profile designed to "seat" perfectly into the groove of the horizontal Carrier Rail. This geometry ensures that once the panel is hung, it is locked against wind suction forces.
• Extruded from 6063 T6 aluminium, providing the structural rigidity necessary to support the weight of heavy panels while maintaining a lightweight profile.
• Include an adjustment screw on the panel hangers. This allows installers to fine-tune the height of each panel to the millimetre after it has been hung, ensuring perfectly aligned horizontal joints.
• By using multiple brackets across the back of a single panel, the dead load is distributed evenly. This prevents localised stress points that can lead to cracking in brittle materials like large-format ceramic tiles.
• Provides a seamless, high-end architectural finish with no visible fastener heads.
• Once the final panel in a run is installed, the brackets are often locked in place with a "locking screw" or "stop," preventing the panels from being lifted or removed by unauthorised persons.
