Mirage is partner of FVHFThe Association for Materials and Components for Rear-Ventilated Facades (Fachverband für vorgehängte hinterlüftete Fassaden e.V. (FVHF)) is based in Berlin, Germany. It represents the interests of manufacturers who produce cladding, substructures, insulation materials and elements for fixing, fastening and connecting rear-ventilated facades. |
Specifications
The structure is made up of profiles and brackets manufactured via the extrusion of aluminium alloy, with a minimum thickness of 2 mm.
The structure will be tied to the support in order to absorb thermal expansion/ shrinkage and subsidence of the support itself so that the external covering is not affected by any possible future induced stress.
The safety of the system must be guaranteed via a subsequent check for every single project, in accordance with the norms relating to wind pressure/depression.
Specific description of the system
The fixing of the brackets to the underlying support must be carried out using adequately sized plugs suitable for the specific type of support.
The fixing of profiles onto the brackets will be carried out using rivets with “fixed point” and “sliding point”, depending on the project specifications.
The anchorage of the slabs will be carried out using special stainless steel clips. In order to obtain a perfect aesthetic result, the clips can be painted in the same colour of the slabs.

Specific description of the system
The fixing of the brackets to the “U” section underlying support must be carried out using adequately sized plugs suitable for the specific type of support. It will then be possible to fix a special “Ω-omega” section profile onto the brackets, using rivets with “fixed point” and “sliding point” depending on the project specifications.
For the profile holes set aside to house spacers, selfpositioning stainless steel clips have been created to allow for the perfect anchorage of slabs. In order to obtain a perfect aesthetic result, the clips can be painted in the same colour of the slabs.
The system is completed with EPDM trims with anti-vibration function. The system will allow for a grout line between adjacent slabs of between 4mm and 8mm.
