HOW IT WORKS

-Click-on Screens consist of mounting tracks, clips and timber or aluminium battens. The clip base comes factory fitted to the mounting track at the specified spacing. -The Click-on connection features a button fixed to the back or ends of the batten, which clicks securely into engagement in the clip base. -Site variation and building and thermal movement are factored into the design, with the top bracket fixed into place and lower brackets able to slide. The rail design makes for easy fixing to any substrate while giving the installer up to 10mm of in/out adjustment.

MOUNTING TRACK TYPES AND SUBSTRATE FIXINGS

REMOVABILITY

The removal tool has two prongs that when slid into the clip connection, disengage the spring and release the batten.

SPLIT TRACK - 45X25MM

Used in straight applications for both back mount and end mount. Designed to span up to 1200mm between balustrade posts. Track has pull out adjustment from 25-35mm, to allow onsite packing.

SLIM TRACK - 45X5MM

Default end mount track, designed to be slim to the floor and ceiling. Used for back mount curves down to a 600mm Radius. Fixing of this track must be through the centre of the clip casting.

DIRECT FIX

Where no track is desired for both back mount and end mount. Complex site specific spacing. Sculptform does not take responsibility for the clip to substrate connection. Screw not supplied by Sculptform. Suitable fixing needs to be considered by the installer. M5 or 10g countersunk screw is most suitable.

MID SUPPORT THREADED ROD

For applications which require a large distance between clips, a threaded rod and spacer system can be used as an extra fixing point. The rod runs through pre-drilled holes and uses spacer sleeves to help prevent movement and keep the battens straight. This extra fixing is provided by Sculptform and included in all pricing for screens.

CLIP TYPES

END MOUNT FIXED

BACK MOUNT FIXED

Back when using the Back Mount Method a 20mm clear gap is required above or below the batten to enable installation and removal of the battens.

END MOUNT FLOAT

The End Mount floating clip can take up to +- 25mm of Building movement if installed with a 25mm gap under the batten.

BACK MOUNT FLOAT

Back Mount Floating clip is only designed to take up to +- 5mm for installation and thermal movement. Not suitable for building movement. All mounting tracks to be fixed to a continuous frame that eliminates building movement. If your screen is a slab to slab application, or building movement is expected, refer to the End Mount floating clip.
