Insulate from the outside

Insulate from the outside

Our EBC angle bracket for cladding has been designed to fix vertical battens directly to the supporting structure without the need for horizontal battens, creating a zone for insulation and/or ventilation between the wall and the cladding and reducing installation time, materials and cost.

As external cladding grows in popularity as a protective and aesthetic finish to building projects, so does the range of cladding options and materials on the market.

Previously known as the ABC bracket, the versatile EBC bracket is suitable for cavities 50mm to 145mm and can be used on concrete and masonry structures.

Due to increased interest from the timber frame industry, we are currently evaluating the EBC bracket for connecting to timber structures, so capacities can be provided, rather than companies having to evaluate the connection themselves.

“Cladding can enhance the external look of any building, making it far more interesting and often more pleasing to the eye” explains Dean Orchard, Managing Director - Timber Engineering at Sydenhams, who provide exterior cladding solutions from leading manufacturers.

“We have used the EBC on numerous projects to successfully fix various types of cladding directly to timber frame, in fact it is quickly becoming our go-to angle bracket for cement fibre boards such as HardiePlank® Lap Cladding. We typically use the 160mm brackets as this works with a 50mm cavity and 102mm brickwork at ground floor when the cladding at first floor needs to sit proud of the brickwork below.

It's rare that suppliers listen to our needs and respond the way that Simpson Strong-Tie has.”
