Cladding & Rainscreen
Cladding is more than an external covering. It is a practical way to enhance the appearance, performance and finish of a building.
Its growing popularity across commercial and domestic projects reflects that balance of form and function. Traditional metal cladding remains a strong choice in particular, offering a clean, modern look along with a wide range of colours and finishes to suit different styles of build.
Where the façade matters, cladding can provide a flexible and effective solution. With so many systems available, there is real scope to choose an option that works visually, performs well and fits the wider needs of the project.
Typical systems
- Single Skin
- Twin Skin
- Composite Panels
- Traditional Metals
Cladding & Rainscreen
Rainscreen is a type of cladding that creates a rear ventilated through-wall Facade.
These systems are extremely versatile to their aesthetic environment and available in a wide selection of materials, colours, finishes and styles.
Post the Grenfell tower tragedy, we have seen a distinct upturn in alternate products being specified and selected over Aluminium Composite Materials (ACMs).
Although the correct classification of ACM is still a suitable Rainscreen solution, trends are suggesting that alternate Rainscreen panel options, such as HPL panels are being opted for instead by designers and contractors.
Typical systems
- Cassettes
- Traditional Metals
- Aluminium Composite Panels
- High Pressure Laminates
- Polycarbonate
