The Kerf profiles has been designed and specified to support ornate and shaped stone façade panels using a grove in the upper and lower edge of the façade panel, this allows the stone panels to slot into the upper and lower rails. 

The system comprises of two different kerf rails, the intermediate kerf rail and the upper/lower kerf rail. The horizontal rails are fixed to the vertical T and L rail using tek screw or rivet connections.

The upper/lower kerf rail is typically used at the base detail, window junctions and head details. The intermediate kerf rail is used in-between stone panels creating a horizontal joint. 

Bracket and profile configuration is specified by RJ Facades technical department. To submit your project specifics please go to Facade Designer.
