Do I need to treat my wall if I want to install Cladix?

Do you want to install Cladix correctly and durably? Discover why a load-bearing structure forms the foundation for a sleek and stable facade.

Cladix wall cladding is always installed on a support structure.
You screw the profiles onto this substructure, not directly onto the façade.

That also means: no pre-treatment of the existing facade required.

Provide a support structure

The first step in assembly is to place a support structure against the wall.

You choose:

  • Aluminium support structure, e.g. RGL8
  • or wooden support structure

This structure forms the base on which you attach the Cladix profiles.

Why a support structure?

The support structure provides:

  • A stable and level surface
  • Correct ventilation behind the facade
  • Firm fastening of the profiles
  • A durable assembly

By working with a support structure, you avoid direct contact between the cladding and the existing wall.

Fixing the Cladix profiles

After placing the support structure:

  1. Hook your profiles together (tooth-hook system).
  2. Screw them to the support structure.
  3. Check your alignment each time.

This is how you build the facade systematically, profile by profile.

No pretreatment required

Because Cladix comes on a separate support structure, you do not need to treat or level the existing façade first.

The support structure absorbs unevenness and ensures correct positioning.

Briefly: First the supporting structure, then the profiles.
This is how you place Cladix correctly, stably and according to the correct procedure.
