Nashco Facade Backing Strip

Description

Backing strips are used to protect the substrate in an expressed joint facade system. This is achieved by securing the backing strip to the framing at the location of the joint in the panel. The panel is then fixed over the top of the strip, whilst the strip bridges the 10mm gap between the panels. The small nib in the 3.5mm Black Facade Backing Strip creates a shadow line effect on the joint of the panel and makes the strip almost invisible.

The backing strip can be fixed to the frame with construction adhesive or a flat framing screw. It is recommended to seal the backing strip to the Facade Panel in accordance with the Facade Panel specifications.
