Introducing AxiAL+
With lower embodied carbon, Passivhaus certification and a simplified installation process, AxiAL+ is designed to play a critical role in the future of sustainable construction.
Specially engineered for sustainability, efficiency and cost-effectiveness, AxiAL+ is manufactured using renewable energy, from high-performance
stainless steel at the same price as aluminium alternatives.
It also reduces material use by 33%, is easy to recycle and contains zero combustible or oil-derived materials, ensuring maximum safety and sustainability.
AxiAL+ Carbon
With growing pressure on the construction industry to reduce carbon content while enhancing technical performance, in this video we explain how Ash & Lacy is tackling these challenges with new product innovations.
Why choose AxiAL+?
- Stronger & Longer-Lasting – Stainless-steel brackets mean higher load capacity and durability than aluminium.
- Thermally Efficient – Reduced thermal bridging with no need for isolation materials.
- Space-Saving – Low thermal conductivity allows for reduced insulation thickness.
- Lower embodied carbon – Manufactured using renewable energy and uses no oil-derived material components.
- Zero combustible material – Plastic-free composition with no requirement for thermal isolator pads.
- Easy to recycle – No separation of materials required at end of life.
The AxiAL range of rainscreen support systems and lightweight framing components has been developed by industry experts to offer a diverse selection of generic framing options that can accommodate a wide spectrum of materials and design requirements. Providing both cost-effective and flexible solutions, and benefiting from the safety of mechanical fixing methodology, there is an AxiAL rain screen support system to suit the needs of most new build and refurbishment projects – for buildings that are built to last.
Comprised of an extensive standard range of pre-assembled brackets & rails, available in both aluminium and stainless-steel options, AxiAL components and systems are manufactured from the highest quality metal alloys, ensuring optimum structural integrity and longevity, striving to meet and exceed the ever-changing performance requirements of the cladding and façade industry.

AxiAL+
The AxiAL+ stainless steel system offers an improved slender profile with low thermal conductivity to help achieve U-Value targets whilst minimising wall build up depth.
Features
- Low Thermal Conductivity: Stainless steel has a significantly lower thermal conductivity compared to other aluminium alloys
- Reduced Thermal Bridge: Low thermal conductivity combined with an improved slender profile helps reduce thermal bridging across the insulation and improve U-values without the need of polymeric isolation pads
- Reduced Cladding Zone: The reduction in thermal bridge means that equivalent or improved u-values can be achieved with reduced insulation depths. This also reduces material consumption, cost, and end-of-life waste
- Increase Internal Floor Space: The reduced cladding zone increases the internal floor area, critical for projects and retrofits where space saving is critical
- Non-Combustible
- Passivhaus Certified
- Higher Fire resistance
- NO COST INCREASE
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance Stainless Steel is applicable for most environments without further surface protection
