eClips rainscreen support system allows a range of products to be fixed to the building envelope, and opens up endless creative possibilities for architects and contractors.
eClips HL (horizontal) system is more commonly utilised for steel frame systems (SFS), where there is likely to be more tolerance in setting out the sub-frame. Horizontal C-rail transoms can be placed at maximum 3000mm centers to aid in fixing insulation into position using patent-approved clips, requiring less drilling than manual fix.
Maple are one of the only UK rainscreen cladding installers who own the patent for their system, this means contractors and clients can mitigate risks with an all-in-one solution (One designer, One manufacturer and One Installer).
