In
the Sleeved Rail System, rails run
past the faces of the columns, and
the section depth of the rail plus
the clearence required for a standard
fixing cleat together determine
the minimum dimension from the column
face to the inside of the
vertical cladding.
Joints in the rails are sleeved to give continuity,
allowing the use of
more economical sections and giving an improved
deflection performance.

Double Span Joint
Arrangement.
This system combines single adn double
span rails with their joints staggered and sleeved. The provision of a sleeve at
the unjointed connections over the penultimate support is required.
Single
Span Joint Arrangement.
Apart from the penultimate support
this system has sleeves at alternate joint positions. Rails must be continuous
over a minimum of two spans using a sleeve, in order to create an end bay
situation. (Sleeve arrangement as above, using single span rails).
Standard Punching
Patterns.
These layouts do not imply that all
sections are suitable.
Non Standard
Punching Patterns.
Additional holes on the
standard punchlines will be made
as detailed. Non standard punchlines
can be incorporated
at no extra charge.
