Fixing to Timber-Framed Walls
When fixing to timber-framed walls, it’s essential that all brackets or angles are secured directly into the structural studs behind the cladding, not the cladding itself. Our standard aluminium fixing angles can be used, but the integrity of the installation depends on anchoring into solid framing. If stud positions don’t align with the bracket layout, additional noggins or internal framing may be required. It’s ideal to plan mounting points before cladding is installed, and heavy-duty timber screws should be used for a strong, secure connection.
Installer Tip: If the timber framing is still exposed, it’s a great time to plan and measure the louvre layout early. Working out bracket positions ahead of time can save significant effort and cost later on. In many cases, it may be best to design the louvre size to suit the stud layout, rather than the other way around.
