A rail device 100 for supporting a rain screen comprises a rail portion 102 for receiving a rain screen and a clamp portion 104 for fixing against a receiving surface such as a building wall 106. The clamp portion comprises a clamp plate 110 to be punctured by a fastener 108 and a protruding portion 112a/b extending from the clamp plate. When the clamp portion is fixed against the receiving surface, the protruding portion is positioned between the clamp plate and the receiving surface, forming a cavity 114 through which the fastener extends. The cavity receives waste material created by the fastener as the clamp portion is fixed against the receiving surface, allowing the rail to be consistently and securely fixed against the receiving surface. The clamp portion may extend along the length of the rail device, and the rail may include upper and lower clamp portions. The rail may comprise a hooked end and a chamfer.
