<p>A system for attaching external cladding to a wall or frame of a building in such a way that the cladding is capable of limited movement, in three directions, with respect to the wall or frame thus enabling stresses set up during adverse conditions to be combatted. The system comprises a first component (3) attached to the building framework and having means (4, 5) allowing adjustment of a second component (6) attached at one end thereto. The other end of the second component (6) has further adjustment means (7) interfitting with and sandwiched between minor portions (13, 14) of oppositely facing matable members (11, 12) which are resiliently held together by resilient means (19) associated with an elongated bore (20) allowing further adjustment. Between major portions of the matable members (11, 12) is placed a resilient sealing strip (24), the inner sealant. To the outward facing faces of these members are placed further resilient sealing strips (25, 26), the outer sealants, upon which the external cladding is held in abutting relationship, by means (27) anchored to the matable members (11, 12).</p> |
