Aluminium Profiles
Top Hats
Generally used between the Helping Hand brackets and steel studs, when the rainscreen system supports doesn’t match the main structure.
The tophats are designed to support heavy weights with a low profile to reduce the impact on the insulation.
The fixed point holder tophat has increased flanges so that the fixings can be placed vertically ensuring the fixings are positioned into the centre of the SFS stud.
The sliding point holder tophat and reduced flanges as only one fixing is required on the top and bottom flanges, the tophats require fixing at stud locations, typically 60mm centres.
The depth of the tophat is designed to ensure the bracket fixing does not penetrate the SFS sheathing board.
Bracket and profile configuration is specified by RJ Facades technical department. To submit your project specifics please go to Facade Designer.

Technical Characteristics
Typical bracket configuration uses the Fixed Point bracket at the highest position on the vertical rail to support the façade vertical dead loads. The Sliding Point bracket is used typically on all other positions on the vertical rail to absorb the project wind loading
The system benefits from using a standard helping hand system, which is interchangeable with other RJ Facades helping hand systems based on the project requirements.
Bracket configuration is specified by RJ Facades technical department. To submit your project specifics please go to Facade Designer.
