STRUKTEC™

Learn How It Works

STRUKTEC™ Cavity consists of “L” & “T” sections that run vertically the full length of a building installation, with substrate fixing slots every 100mm for easy attachment & thermal release.

The front "T" section serves as a vertical bracing and facade panel frame which creates a plane. Slots in both “L” & “T” elements allow for minor adjustment to bring the T section into line if the substrate is out of plumb. The “L” sections are finished with high-grade anodizing for durability and longevity, while the “T” section may be coloured to suit in powder coat or anodize.

The facade surface is bonded to the front face of the “T” section using a select chemical adhesion system. This type of adhesion allows for permanent, continuous elastic movement capability across the facade surface, thus alleviating everyday climatic & environmental tension or stress within the surface, due to coefficient of expansion between substrate & all elements.

A helpful alternative where fully bonded systems may be at risk due to existing substrate incompatibility or everyday environmental or seismic movement.

STRUKTEC™ Cavity has been installed in climatic conditions across New Zealand’s North and South Islands for 7 years without any signs of maintenance required.
