FastFrame Aluminium Carrier Rail for Mechanical Secret Fix Systems - G-C06602020 - 3m length

FastFrame Aluminium Carrier Rail for Mechanical Secret Fix Systems - G-C06602020 is a secondary horizontal profile designed to support cladding panels—such as High-Pressure Laminate (HPL), ceramic, stone, or fibre cement—using an invisible mechanical attachment. Instead of fixing through the face of the panel, the panel is "hung" onto these carrier rails using brackets attached to the rear of the cladding. The panels are simply lifted and hooked onto the horizontal carrier rail.

CHARACTERISTICS

• The rail features a precision-engineered "lip" or "groove" that securely receives the panel hangers. This ensures the panel cannot be accidentally dislodged by wind suction.
• 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.
• The carrier rail is often used in conjunction with anti-rattle clips or EPDM pads to ensure the panels do not vibrate or "chatter" within the frame during high winds.
• Provides a seamless, high-end architectural finish with no visible fastener heads.
• Distributes the load of the panel more evenly across the horizontal rail, reducing the risk of stress cracks around fixing points in brittle materials like ceramic.
