ABOUT ALLFACE REAR VENTILATED FACADES
The hung, rear-ventilated facade (RVF) covers the load bearing wall of a building. With a RVF, the facade elements are mounted with the help of a fixing system at a distance from the building’s outside wall. Allface offer a range of Vertical (F1) and Horizontal (F2) fixing systems.
Besides the varied architectural possibilities, this method of construction has considerable ecological and economical benefits:
The RVF protects against weather conditions and contributes to the longevity of the building. The outside wall of the building and the thermal insulation remain dry always.
The RVF minimises thermal stress and is the optimum protection against heat and cold.The RVF is an energy-saving façade. The variable lengths of wall brackets make it possible to install with any desired thickness of insulation. Energy savings leads to minimisation of carbon dioxide discharge.
Back ventilating the façade controls the humidity of the building and ensures an optimum climate inside.
The multilayered structure of RVF protects against noise.
The RVF system guarantees sustainable construction through recycling the components that are used.
THE ALLFACE RANGE OF REAR VENTILATED FACADES
Façade fastening with rivets is a very economical method of installation due to the easy mounting. It is mainly used for metal, fibre cement and HPL.
Concealed Fixing System. The façade panels can be fastened mechanically and concealed with the help of undercut anchors.
Hanger elements are put into the undercut drill hole on the back of the panel with special dowels. Each panel is fastened with at least four elements
Concealed Fixing System for denser panels such as stone.
Concealed fixing for hooking in façade elements designed for the efficient mounting of ACM cassettes.
A specialist vertical mount system utilising clips for stone or ceramic panels.
A specialist secret fix vertical mount system for stone or ceramic panels.
Allface horizontal façade mounting systems are used exclusively where the primary profile is mounted horizontally on an F2 bracket.
This rivet-fix system is designed for horizontal fixings on beam and column constructions.
Concealed horizontal fixing for hooking-in facade elements. Designed for the efficient mounting of ACM cassettes.

Understanding the relationship between your chosen façade and its cladding support system is essential. Allface’s expertise in this sector stems from some simple guiding principles:
“Allface pre-engineered aluminum supportive rails are fitted vertically to the building structure thereby allowing airflow from the bottom to the top and out behind the cladding panels, resulting in a dry substructure which pushes any moisture out and adds to the insulation of the building”.
However it much more than this. We appreciate also that on site, at the sharp end, this intelligent attachment system has to meet multiple challenges:
It must provide the optimal fastening solution
- For any kind of cladding material
- For any design requirements.
At the same time, it must also be:
- Economical
- Safe
- Have a long life performance
Apart from that, it must also:
- Take into account the project environment’s specific static requirements
- Comply with the relevant local construction regulations and standards

Allface Fixing Options
Face / Rivet Fix
Rivet fixing is used to fix the façade to an Allface aluminium support framework. We are able to supply colour matched rivet fixings alongside (or separate) to your façade order.
Allface System F1-10, visible fixing – rivet/screws
Concealed / Secret Fix
The Allface mechanical secret fix method consists of hangers fixed to the rear of the board which are hung onto the horizontal carrier rail. The specific fix will vary and is dependent on the façade or cladding panel used.
