Grad® installation system By Ravaioli Legnami
Type: Wood panel for facade
Grad® is an innovative patented cladding installation system consisting of aluminium substructure bars with pre-installed and pre-spaced plastic clips. Special milling on the back of the deck boards allows for easy, fast, precise and removable installation. The Grad® is the only installation system to be invisible, tested and approved by FCBA Technological Institute. Ravaioli Legnami is Italy’s exclusive distributor of the Grad® system with Thermo-treated Bamboo and Bamboo Elegance deck boards for decking and cladding. Grad® for Thermo-treated Bamboo and Bamboo Elegance deck boards is a complete and versatile system suitable for any wall. It comes with a 20-year warranty covering the entire structure. It’s environmentally sustainable: its materials (aluminium and polyoxymethylene) are recycled and recyclable. The clips firmly secure the board to the aluminium bar. They are flexible and resistant to extreme temperatures (from -40 °C to +70 °C). Moreover, they are mounted on aluminium rails. Their precise positioning promotes and speeds up installation while ensuring the space needed between the boards without the need for measuring continuously. The Grad® system comes with different accessories: fittings to connect the substructure bars to each other, special clips for corners, intrados, initial or end rows of floors and cladding, or to make trimmed or cantilevered boards thicker. The Grad® system is available for two different profiles: the CZ profile, which creates continuous cladding and the CB profile. It’s also available with the exclusive Barcode pattern, characterized by alternating profiles of different widths. CZ profile Deck boards with a CZ profile are supplied with tongue-and groove butt joints. They are installed using the Grad® substructure, creating continuous cladding. The package containing untreated Thermo-treated Bamboo with CZ profile and Grad® substructure is certified in class B-s1-d0 – reaction to fire (UNI EN 13501-1). CB profile The CB profile is slightly rounded to allow the removal of single boards using a special accessory called Key. That’s why deck boards are provided without tongue-and groove butt joints. Barcode pattern The Barcode pattern is obtained by alternating profiles of different widths, creating an exclusive decor conceived by Ravaioli to provide more dynamism to vertical surfaces. Grad® substructure bars for the Barcode pattern are made of aluminium and come with installed and spaced plastic clips to help you create the pattern.
