[0013] Reference number 100 designates a preferably metallic U-shaped profile which is attached to a building 200 which advantageously has a surface 201 which is advantageously made of wooden building elements, e.g. panels.
[0014] The profile 100 is attached to the outer surface 201, preferably a series of profiles 100 which are aligned and adjacent to each other, with the opening of the U pointing upwards.
[0015] There can be several rows of profiles 100, spaced vertically apart from each other.
[0016] The profile 100 has a first part 101, an essentially vertical side wall which is attached to the outer surface 201, for example by means of fasteners, for example screws 210.
[0017] The profile has a second, central part 102, which is essentially horizontally connected to the first part.
[0018] The second part 102 of the profile has a series of openings 104. These openings comprise between 5% and 70% of the horizontal surface of the central part 102. This ensures water drainage and / or a continuous airflow, preventing the formation of mold, fungi, etc.
[0019] The middle part 102 of the profile is connected to a third part of the profile 103, which forms a side part that is spaced apart from the first part of the profile 101 by the middle part.
[0020] The distance between the two side parts 101, 103 and thus the width of the middle part 102 is between 15 and 50 mm.
[0021] The third part of profile 103 is also essentially vertical and forms the recess for a plate 110.
[0022] The thickness of the third part of the profile varies between 1 and 20 mm.
[0023] Furthermore, the third part advantageously has a groove 106 on the outer surface on the side facing away from the building.
[0024] The panel 110 is attached to the wooden facade 202 by its first part, the upper part 111, using fasteners 211, e.g., screws. The lower part of the panel 112 is spaced away from the facade 202, e.g., by a bend in the panel 110.
[0025] The third part of the profile 103 is inserted into the space between the second part of the plate 112 and the facade 202.
[0026] In this way, the facade 202 can be hung on the profile 100.
[0027] It is advantageous that plate 110 is made of metal.
[0028] It is advantageous that the lower part of the plate 112 has a height that is less than the height of the third part of the profile 103, which can be between 5 and 50 mm. It is also advantageous that the second part of the plate 112 is set back from the facade by a distance that is equal to or greater than the thickness of the third part 103 of the profile, which forms the receptacle for the plate.
[0029] The distance between the second part of plate 112 and the first part of plate 111 can be achieved, for example, by bending.
[0030] The wooden facade, which consists of a series of facade elements 201, is suspended from the profile 100 in this way.
[0031] To prevent vertical displacement of the facade 202 with panel 110 relative to the building 200, fastening / locking elements 212 are inserted into the wooden facade, the tips of which engage in the groove 106 of the profile and block the movements.
[0032] Advantageously, this connection is detachable.
