Ashcolit Suite - Rainscreen Cladding Support Systems

Freedom to Imagine
Opening up a whole world of new AshTech™ rainscreen cladding options, the Ash & Lacy Ashcolit Suite range offers three support systems under the banner of Lingrid, so called because they are all based on a linear grid design.
Each system has been specifically designed to suit the requirements of the rainscreen materials. All have been independently tested structurally and as part of rainscreen systems, in compliance with the latest CWCT requirements.
All Lingrid system sections and components are held in stock, providing the best possible service to the customer. Training courses are held at our Bromford Lane site, so that installers can be familiarised with the systems and the client can be assured of competent and efficient installation.

Lingrid 1 is based on the traditional ‘hook-on’ system, and consists of 5 basic mullions ranging from 50mm to 175mm in depth. This means that the mullions can be installed on almost any form of sub-structure or frame, and can span from floor to floor if required.
- Originally designed for new build, Lingrid 1 is ideally suited for renovation, where over-cladding is required. By virtue of its spanning capability, existing facades can be over-clad where they would normally too fragile to fix a conventional system.
- The need for on-site fabrication is removed, as the complete system is delivered in component form.
- The only tools needed for installation are a 10mm socket spanner and a 4mm Allen key.
- Any shape or size of panel (subject to base material availability) can be installed onto the support system.
- There is no specific start point for an elevation, as panels can be fitted at random, if desired, due to the unique panel carrier, which is fully adjustable and can be locked and unlocked with ease.
- Panels can be plumbed and lined independently, without being removed.
- The unique panel carrier system allows damaged panels to be removed quickly and efficiently, without affecting surrounding panels.
- The mullions may be self colour, or they may be anodised or painted, if an open joint is required. Alternatively, there are a range of clip-in beads which hide the carrier system, and these are available as painted or anodised, to suit specific requirements. These inserts range from 12mm to 75mm wide, and can be recessed, flush or projecting, to suit individual designs.

Lingrid 2 has been designed as a lightweight rainscreen system to carry the range of AshPlanks.
- Lingrid 2 is an efficient system for other products such as the Ashcolit Suite Aerostone and Ashcolit Suite look-a-like Terracotta tile system.
- The Lingrid 2 system consists of a series of clip cleats, fitted back to the sub-structure at maximum 1000mm centres, to which is fitted a thermally broken offset structural ‘T’ section, up to 4000mm long, with rivets or self tapping screws.

Lingrid 3 is the support frame for the Ashcolite Aerostone lightweight stone system. It is generally based on the traditional method of fitting stone and lightweight stone panels with added features.
- Two types of aluminium sections make up the system – Aerostone Stone Transom Type 1 and Type 2.
- Transom Type 1 has a dual role, and is fitted to the reverse of lightweight stone panels as the top rail, and also acts as the bottom structural support for the next panel above, thereby ensuring a more dimensionally accurate horizontal joint.
- Transom Type 1 allows for a range of joint closures, including mastic, gaskets and feature aluminium or UPVC extruded sections.
- Transom Type 1 acts as the intermediate stiffener bonded to the panel and as the intermediate structural support.
- Transom Types 1 and 2 are fitted to the reverse of honeycomb panels horizontally, with 8mm to 10mm undercut anchors, which are bonded to both the stone and the honeycomb with spacing according to the design requirements.
- Transoms Types 1 and 2 are bonded at approximately 800mm centres, subject to the type and thickness of the stone being used.
- The Lingrid 3 system can be fitted direct to a sub-frame system, or to specific types of board materials such as the Ashcolit Suite ‘Total Wall’ SIPS System.
