Contact Polyplas’ CROSSFIX® specialist, Sam Adams, today to discuss how CROSSFIX® could elevate your next project.
CROSSFIX is a stainless-steel façade substructure engineered for low carbon impact, high safety and efficient installation, delivering strong performance with fewer components and reduced material use.
Long-term oxidation resistance above 800 °C, with a melting point over 1375 °C (vs 650 °C for aluminium)
Retains 55% mechanical strength at 700 °C, ensuring durability under sustained heat
Up to 3.5× lower CO₂ emissions and 10× less primary energy than aluminium during production
Reduces whole-building energy demand, requiring less insulation and retaining existing insulation to minimise waste
13× lower thermal conductivity than aluminium, delivering better U-values and reduced thermal bridging
Thinner wall build-ups with less insulation, increasing usable floor space and improving return on investment
High lateral elasticity and stainless-steel durability ensure performance during seismic movement
Independently seismic tested by CSTB for use in earthquake-prone regions
CROSSFIX uses 100% stainless steel, with thermal conductivity of just 17 W/(m·K) compared to 160 W/(m·K) for aluminium.
The result? Significantly reduced thermal bridging, improved U-values with the same insulation thickness, and better internal wall temperatures – driving higher overall energy efficiency.
