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 side wall;a cap seat extending above each latch and outward of each side wall; and,a first and second flange extending outward of each cap seat;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 side leg; 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, whereas an exterior cladding element is attachable to a vertical elements by a fastener or adhesive. |
