Horizontal cladding is a frequently adopted on buildings and special attention has to be paid to the cold rolled support required. In particular, where the cladding joint requires a 140mm face, two solutions are provided in the Albion system.
Note that the channel joint rail is adopted where the panel joint is remote from the main frame column and the channel joint rail where the joint is at the colum position.
