Precedent Details

ETFE panels are mounted to a steel frame around each panel. the frame then has special brackets mounted to them that the panels attach to. These panels are then inflated to give a cushioned look that offers additional insulation to the building.

The copper strips are mounted onto furring channels that have additional triangular brackets mounted to them to define the angle of the strip. The strips can be mounted to the brackets by nails, interlocking folds, or even additional angle brackets. In the Signal box precedent, the triangular brackets have additional metal that is bent to create a sort of shelf that is welded directly to the back of the strip.

The screen panels offer a simple solution. A basic metal frame supports perforated panels that are connected via brackets. Each bay of the larger frame contained 6 or 9 panels. These panels are then connected to each other with additional brackets or directly with bolts depending on how the panels themselves are made.
