ASF/HADLEY STEEL FRAMING CONTINUOUS EXTERNAL WALLING SYSTEMS.

Hadley Steel Framing-Continuous System is eminently suitable for buildings where the floor area needs to be maximised. Cleats are attached to the outer faces of the floor slabs using fixings determined by structural calculations.

The continuous vertical sections are in turn attached to the FC Series cleats using appropriate screwfixings located through slotted holes to facilitatedeflection within the floor slabs.

Vertical movement due to deflection within the floor slabs is catered for by slotted holes in the cleats,therefore external cladding weight must be supported from a suitable structural member designed to carry these vertical loads.

Where buildings exceed 3 storeys in height additional vertical load supports may be necessary in accordance with structural calculations.

The lower end of the vertical stud sections should be connected to a suitable support member to carry the vertical weight of the stud section together with attached insulation material, internal finishes,windows, exterior cladding (not masonry) etc. inaccordance with structural calculations.

Continuous infill system vertical sections are supplied in full height lengths up to a maximum of 16 metres.

Consideration should be given to site access, handling and erection of long lengths of vertical sections. Where splicing of section is necessary, please consult our Technical Department for assistance.

A number of Cill, Lintel and Jamb configurations are available to suit various design criteria.

ASF / Hadley Steel Framing-Continuous System is designed to carry lateral wind loads only. These loads are transferred from the outer cladding to the primary structure via the cleat connections.
