Did you know that Downer Framing is the Original Helping Hand Framing System
Earlier this month our own Downer Framing Original, Andy Creedy, had the pleasure of presenting our Downer solutions to the Regency Facades team. A CPD which was very well received, we’d like to thank the Regency team for their time and can’t wait to reveal more about our latest collaboration!
Downer Framing – The Hoover of the Envelope Framing World
Following the presentation, Andy added an update on linkedin. In it he highlighted just what makes Downer Framing the original that it is.
‘Downer Framing has become the Hoover of the framing world.’ It’s ‘the original’ Helping Hand framing system – a term that the whole industry has adopted, but it’s actually our own Trademarked brand! Did you know?’
The real difference though, lies in our level of customer service and the technical expertise which underpin every single project we undertake.
Downer Framing – an original, sold by originals, supported by originals and specified by the best. 😉

Why Aluminium Framing Systems Are the Ultimate Choice for Facade Support
In modern construction, selecting the right framing support for facades is crucial to ensuring long-term performance, durability, and aesthetic appeal. An aluminium framing system offers a superior solution that accommodates all kinds of facade materials while providing exceptional longevity.
Here are five key advantages of choosing an aluminium framing system for your facades:
1. Unparalleled Durability and Longevity
Aluminium is naturally resistant to corrosion, rust, and weathering, making it a durable framing system for facades. Unlike traditional materials such as steel or timber, aluminium does not warp, crack, or degrade over time. This ensures that your facade maintains its strength and aesthetic appeal for decades, even in harsh environmental conditions.
2. Lightweight Yet High Strength
Despite being lightweight, aluminium boasts an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, making it an ideal choice for a structural envelope framing system. Its reduced weight simplifies handling and installation while ensuring robust support for a wide range of facade materials, from glass and metal panels to composite and stone cladding.
3. Versatile and Compatible with All Facade Materials
One of the standout features of an aluminium framing system is its adaptability. Whether your project incorporates glass curtain walls, composite panels, brick slips, or stone facades, aluminium provides a reliable and secure framework. Its versatility makes it the preferred choice for architects and builders seeking both flexibility and efficiency in facade design.
4. Low Maintenance and Cost-Effective
An aluminium envelope framing system requires minimal maintenance compared to other materials. Its corrosion-resistant properties eliminate the need for frequent repairs or protective coatings, reducing long-term upkeep costs. Additionally, its long lifespan and recyclability contribute to sustainable and cost-efficient construction solutions.
5. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
Sustainability is a growing priority in construction, and aluminium is one of the most environmentally friendly materials available. It is 100% recyclable without losing its structural integrity, reducing carbon footprints and contributing to green building certifications. Opting for an aluminium framing system supports energy-efficient construction while aligning with sustainability goals.
For builders and architects looking for a durable, versatile, and cost-effective solution, an aluminium framing system is the ideal choice for supporting all types of facade materials. Its ability to withstand environmental challenges while offering long-term reliability makes it an essential component of modern facade engineering. Investing in an aluminium envelope framing system ensures structural integrity, aesthetic appeal, and sustainability—key factors for any successful construction project.
