Vertical Restraints with Bays up to 6.1m

The single strut system is utilised on buildings with bays up to 6.1m centres with adjustable diagonal wire rope ties as shown in the diagram.

Bays up to 3.0m generally do not require vertical support struts.

This system is for use with cladding which when fixed restrains the Multibeam siderail outer flange.

For vertically fixed cladding max height is 10 metres. Maximum rail cross centres are 2m.

Where the weight of the cladding is greater than 0.12 kN/m2 please contact Kingspan Technical Services Department.

The strut system should be fitted between the bottom rails and the rails levelled before proceeding progressively upwards.

Where the cladding is clip fixed or fixed in such a way that the cladding can slip relative to the side rail face please contact Kingspan Technical Services Department.

* When wall exceeds 10m in height allow one set of diagonal ties for every 9.0m of height.







Vertical Restraints for Buildings with Bays Over 6.1m up to 9.0m

The double strut system is utilised on buildings with bays over 6.1m metres up to 9.0m.

For vertically fixed cladding max height is 10 metres. Maximum rail cross centres are 2m.

Where the weight of the cladding is greater than 0.12 kN/m2 please contact Kingspan Technical Services Department.

Buildings with bays over 9m
Bays over 9.0m are possible with Multibeam sections, for vertical restraints consult Kingspan Technical Department.

Where the cladding is clip fixed or fixed in such a way that the cladding can slip relative to the side rail face please contact Kingspan Technical Services Department.

* When wall exceeds 10m in height allow one set of diagonal ties for every 9.0m of height.
