    eClips rainscreen support system facilitates various products to be fixed to the building envelope, offering architects and contractors endless creative opportunities.

    eClips VL (vertical) system is well-suited for concrete stair cores and flat surface areas, especially with portrait panels. Vertical T/L mullions can be positioned at intervals of up to 1200mm to assist in securing insulation using clips approved by patents, reducing the need for extensive drilling compared to manual methods.
     
    Maple stands out as one of the few UK rainscreen cladding installers holding a patent for their system. This allows contractors and clients to minimize risks by opting for a comprehensive solution (including design, manufacture, and installation) all from one source.
