CROSSFIX®
The substructure system for
rainscreen facades (RVF)
CROSSFIX ® substructure system
The rainscreen facade
Manifold, energy efficient and durable
The rainscreen facade (RVF) is undisputedly the
most diverse of the facades. It scores with its
long-lasting service, offers great design freedom
and is extremely popular with architects.
Contrary to other facade types no requirements are
placed on the RVF regarding the building statics,
be-cause it is only hung in front of the actual loadbearing wall. And exactly this decoupling of statics,
thermal and weather protection is what enables
architects and builders to have a very high design
freedom and versatility.
2
Manifold construction possibilities
The construction possibilities for exterior wall cladding are almost limitless. In addition to a wide range
of possible raw materials for wall cladding, it is the
colours in particular that give the building its character and individuality, visible from a
far.
The rainscreen facade is equally suitable for new
builds and restorations, in both public and private
construction.
CROSSFIX ® substructure system
Of lasting value
In addition to the design freedom, the RVF also
scores in the areas of sustainability and economic
efficiency. Because to plan and build a building is one
thing. The other thing is the preservation of an intact
function throughout the lifecycle and the proper
handling of the used-up resources at the end of
life. The individual components of the facade have
a very long-lasting service and can be dismantled
and returned to the material cycle at the end of their
useful life. The use of nearly any insulation thickness
and modern substructures enables U-values for the
highest energy requirements.
Special fastening technology
Every facade must be securely fastened to the loadbearing outer wall. In this case the substructure is
the static link. The different fastening elements at
this point are literally playing a key role
, even though
they seem to be insignificant. Because they ensure
that all system components, such as insulation, substructure and facade cladding, are joined in a lasting
and secure way.

CROSSFIX ® substructure system
Convincing all along the line
CROSSFIX® – the variable substructure system
CROSSFIX® is the first stainless steel substructure
system that can be used for horizontal and vertical
support profiles. CROSSFIX® increases flexibility,
facilitates assembly, saves precious time and reduces
your storage costs.
The CROSSFIX® console is made of stainless steel
and thus significantly reduces the thermal bridge
surcharge in the system.
With the CROSSFIX® modular system, EJOT delivers
everything from a single supplier. In proven quality.

CROSSFIX ® substructure system
All advantages at a glance
> Everything from one source
EJOT supplies a complete substructure system for
all applications and all necessary information for
installation.
> All-purpose
CROSSFIX® is the support for vertical and horizontal
installation and offers maximum flexibility for all
applications, no matter if fixed-point or sliding-point
installation.
> Economical
CROSSFIX®, thanks to its high flexibility, enables
quick and easy processing and, at the same time,
standard-compliant fastening options on all common surfaces (e.g. concrete, solid and perforated
brick, timber and steel substructures).
> Environment-friedly
CROSSFIX® has a low carbon footprint. When
manufacturing stainless steel, there is a more moderate amount of energy required and considerably
lower environmental pollution than when producing
aluminium.
> Energy-efficient
CROSSFIX® is made of A2/A4* stainless steel and
thus enables a significant reduction of the thermal
bridg
e surcharge compared to aluminium.
Vertical assembly
> Cost-efficient
CROSSFIX® enables considerable savings in
material costs and storage costs.
> High static carrying capacity
Stainless steel is many times more stable than aluminium, which means CROSSFIX® enables higher
static load capacities. In addition, a finite element
analysis guarantees an optimised load distribution.
> Dynamic load capacity
Seismic tests confirm the dynamic load capacity of
the CROSSFIX® console.
> Fire protection
The CROSSFIX® console is classified as non-flammable. The melting temperature of stainless steel is
1450 °C vs. 660 °C for aluminium.
> Certified
CROSSFIX® is ETA certified. This reduces the planning effort, creates cost security through clearly
regulated calculation specifications and ensures
more safety in the case of complaints or accidents.
The CROSSFIX® console was also certified by the
Passive House Institute.
* In Germany, only A4 stainless steel may be used.

CROSSFIX® can be used universally
One console for different assembly purposes
With the CROSSFIX® console, EJOT provides a flexible
solution that can accommodate both vertical and
horizontal support profiles.
Regardless of whether it is a fixed point or sliding
point installation. This eliminates the previous need to
install different consoles.

CROSSFIX® increases energy efficiency
I
mproved U-values thanks to 100% stainless steel
In order to reduce thermal bridges in the rainscreen
facade and thus to achieve higher energy efficiency,
materials with the lowest possible thermal conductivity are recommended for facade substructures.
While this is only approx. 17 W/(m K) for stainless
steel, it is approx. 160 W/(m K) for aluminium.
Therefore, the use of stainless steel significantly
reduces the transmission of thermal bridges in
the CROSSFIX® substructure system compared to
systems made of solid aluminium. This means that
significantly improved U-values can be achieved with
the same insulation thickness.
Aluminum and stainless steel in comparison
The isothermal images below illustrate temperature
curves within the external wall when using aluminium
consoles and the CROSSFIX® consoles made of
stainless steel.
Lines of the same temperature are called isotherms.
If these run almost parallel, there is only a slight disturbance compared to the one-dimensional heat flow
(U-value, coefficient of heat transmission). The large
thermal bridge, as can be seen in image 1, results in
a large heat loss.
Image 1
Pronounced thermal bridge on aluminium consoles
This means that the wall inside can cool down considerably. The temperature difference between the
indoor and outdoor area is therefore relatively small.
With the CROSSFIX® substructure system, compared
to aluminium consoles, only a minimal thermal bridge
forms (image 2) and the wall in the interior cools
significantly less. This example clearly shows how
the use of a stainless steel substructure significantly
increases energy efficiency.

General information:
The relevance of the correctly selected system
depth results from the definition of the insulation
thickness and the requirements for the rear ventilation cross-section.
Furthermore, the choice of the correct system depth
has an influence on the assembly of the support
profiles.
