FROM DESIGN TO CONSTRUCTION
We support you from the quotation through to the planning , execution , and successful completion of your facade project .
WE HELP YOU SELECT THE RIGHT SYSTEM TO MEET YOUR NEEDS
Across North America , energy codes have increased the need for more thermally efficient facades . The stricter requirements have increased minimum ' R ' values and made understanding your overall facade ' s thermal performance a critical step in the design process .
Designers are left to understand the impact of selecting a suitable subframing system , and the variety of possible ' R ' values for different systems can add to the complexity .
With a thorough understanding of your project ' s specific needs , ( code requirements , exterior panel choices ), Hilti can offer design support that includes structural and thermal calculations .
Thermal performance
Example calculation
Calculation done with
Exterior Insulation ................. 5 ” Substrate ............................... 6 ” Metal Studs Stud Spacing ........................ 16 ” Vertical Bracket Spacing ...... 24 ”
Note that depending on the project requirements , the designed R Value can be reached by various combinations of substructure systems , for example , with thicker insulation and / or different base material .
MFT-MFI
Aluminum Bracket
Our proven aluminum bracket
The MFT-MFI product line is designed to make the installation on the jobsite quicker and easier , helping save you time and money .
MFT-FOX-T
Aluminum / 50 % Glass fiber reinforced thermal break
Maximize strength minimize thermal bridging
Virtually eliminates thermal bridging which allows you to use less insulation material , leading to thinner exterior walls , allowing greater usable floor space , with reduced energy consumption .
