Forte P Support System
The system is designed for mounting of heavy façade materials with thickness more than 30mm.
The profiles and accessories are designed to handle extreme loads, caused by weight of facade materials up to 90kg/m2.
Optimisation of the substructure by optimal load distribution to vertical supporting pillars materials suitable for hanging.
The system comprised of vertical T & L profiles with a horizontal rail fixed to the vertical profiles at facade joint locations, there is then a stainless steel pin that is fixed through the horizontal rail which takes weight of the stone connecting the stone below to the stone above, distributing the load across the façade.
