Multi-layered cladding frame system

摘要

The present invention provides a multi-layered framing system for securing cladding to an exterior wall having exterior insulation. The framing system provides horizontal elements positioned across the exterior insulation, wherein the horizontal elements are secured to studs within the wall using fasteners. Vertical elements are secured to the horizontal elements. Then panels of cladding are secured to the vertical elements.

1. A sub-framing wall system for supporting exterior cladding attachable to an exterior side of a wall, comprising:
a plurality of horizontal elements positioned horizontally on an exterior side of a wall, each of the horizontal elements comprising:
a board flange having an interior side and an opposite exterior side;an upper ridge and a lower ridge forming a relief channel on the interior side of the board flange;a setoff extending outward from the exterior side of the board flange proximate to the lower ridge and sloping downward from the board flange; and,a frame flange extending vertically downward from the setoff, parallel and offset to the board flange; the interior side of the board flange of the horizontal elements facing the wall; a plurality of first fasteners extending through the board flange to fasten the horizontal elements to structural wall studs within the wall; a plurality of vertical elements positioned vertically on an exterior side of the horizontal elements, each of the vertical elements comprising:
a hat channel comprising:
an elongated planar base;a pair of side walls extending upward from the base;a latch extending inward from each of the side walls;a cap seat extending above each of the latches and outward of each of the side walls; and,a first and second flange extending outward of each of the cap seats;a face plate securable to the hat channel, comprising:
an elongated, planar body having an interior and opposite exterior surface;a pair of opposing side legs extending downward from the interior surface of the body; and,a strike ridge extending outward from each of the side legs; a plurality of second fasteners extending through the base of the vertical elements and into the frame flange of the horizontal elements to fasten the vertical elements to the horizontal elements; and, wherein an exterior cladding element is attachable to the vertical elements by a fastener or adhesive.
