What is the CROSSFIX® substructure system, and how does it improve performance?
CROSSFIX® by EJOT is a substructure system for the rainscreen facade. The console is made of stainless steel (A4). The material allows a significant reduction of the thermal bridge surcharge in the system, since it has a markedly low thermal conductivity compared to aluminium. This energy efficiency of the substructure can lead to a smaller wall cross-section as a result of a reduction in the thickness of the insulation and thus bring about an increase in the useful area.
From a design point of view, the console is suitable for horizontal and vertical support profiles and can be used for forming fixed or sliding points. This leads to maximum flexibility during assembly.
The high strength of the stainless-steel material also enables maximum load-bearing capacity and thus expands the design flexibility in the planning and design of rainscreen facades.
