Site Installation

Site work is kept to a minimum due to the unique design of the adjustable fixing arrangement integral within the carrier system.

Apart from primary fixing points to the structure, all other fixings utilize an adjustable nut insert that slides within the location channels of the carrier to the required fixing point. Panels and columns are then offered up and fixed to the carrier and where required, infill strips / gaskets are fitted within the joints.
