EUROFOX project specific assesment with installation drawing
We can create a “project specific” assessment for your scheme – including static calculations.
We can provide an installation plan and a EUROFOX components schedule.
EUROFOX static analysis
■ Primary fixing dimensions in accordance with local authority regulations and
local pull out testing (primary fixing)
■ Verification of flexible points (dynamic load / pressure) and fixed points
(deadload, cladding and windloads)
■ Verification of profiles
Verification of sliding points

■
Each vertical profile is fixed to one MacFOX fixed point
and a number of MacFOX flexible point brackets. As a
consequence of thermal expansion, the length of the
profiles normally does not exceed the storey height. The
bracket spacing is determined by cladding options such
as the dimensions and weight of the facade cladding,
wind loads and cladding zone.

Each vertical profile is fixed to one horizontal
fixed point L-profile and flexible jointed to a
number of flexible point L-profiles. The length
of vertical profiles should not exceed the storey
height. Consequently, thermal expansion is not
constrained by the support system.
Fixpoint L-profiles
Due to the rigid connection, fixed point Lprofiles are able to absorb both, vertical dead
loads and horizontal wind loads.

Flexible point L-profiles take wind loads only.

MacWUDI
compensation
of tolerances
is an ideal solution for the support of timber battens
used for timber cladding (soft and hardwood). For smaller
cladding zones, the design easily accommodates any
uneveness in the timber and allows the battens to be quickly
and accurately lined, levelled and secured.
Distance of fixing (a) depends usually on:
■ allowed pulling test of the dowel (substrate)
■ weight / m2
■ distance from wall = V max.
Number of MacFOX/dowels in case of buildings up to 20 m
are normaly (windloads acc. DIN) app./m2.

The assembly of MacUNI to MacFOX or XFOX brackets
provides an ideal element for the fixing of timber battens
where medium to large cladding zones are required.
Distance of fixing (a) depends usually on:
■ allowed pulling test of the dowel (substrate)
■ weight / m2
■ distance from wall = V max.
Number of MacFOX/dowels in case of buildings up to 20 m
are normally (windloads acc. DIN) app. 2 piece/m2.
