What subframe structures suit irregular façade designs?
Irregular aluminum façades—featuring curves, angles, or varying depths—require bespoke subframe solutions. Adjustable Z- and C-shaped profiles, often bolted to vertical toggles, allow on-site fine-tuning of panel position in three dimensions. For double-curved surfaces, a 3D-BIM model guides the fabrication of CNC-bent brackets that match each panel’s unique orientation. Tolerance-compensating rails ensure alignment across tolerances, while articulated slide shoes absorb thermal movement without compromising the façade’s geometric fidelity. Engineers specify stainless steel or aluminum alloys for corrosion-resistance in joints, and use neoprene pads to decouple material movement. Through this method—combining advanced modeling, precision fabrication, and adjustable supports—complex shapes become practical, stable, and visually stunning.
