Acoustically damped wall and roof cladding
The bracket 5 is connectable to a substructure such as a wall rail or roof purlin for supporting a wall or roof cladding, it has a foot portion 2a for connection to a substructure, a spacer stem 6 and a head portion 4a for connection to the cladding, either directly or indirectly, and includes spring means 7 provided by part of the bracket between the foot and head, formed of material having lower stiffness compared to the rest of the bracket so that energy is absorbed via compression or expansion of the less stiff material in the bracket, and wherein the lower stiffness is provided by co-extruding plastics of different stiffness, the bracket being configured to absorb acoustic vibrations transmitted from the cladding to the foot portion via the spacer stem 6. Also claimed is a wall or roof cladding structure comprising a plurality of panels supported on a plurality of said brackets.
