Ventilated façades · New build and over-cladding

Rainscreen cladding

Ventilated rainscreen systems in aluminium, fibre cement, stone and brick slip, designed, specified and installed by one team with the full through-wall build-up.

Rainscreen claddingRainscreen cladding

Overview

A rainscreen protects the structure behind it while giving architects freedom on finish, colour and joint pattern. Getting it right depends on what you can’t see: the SFS, sheathing, insulation, cavity barriers, brackets and rails.

Because we install the full through-wall construction, including SFS and fire stopping, there’s a single point of responsibility for how the wall performs. Our supply partnerships give clients a wide choice of non-combustible finishes.

    FAQs

    Common questions.

    Which panel materials do you install?
    Mostly A1 and A2-s1,d0 materials: solid and cassette aluminium, fibre cement, natural stone and brick slip. We’ll recommend options that meet the fire strategy and the design intent.
    Do you design the support system?
    Yes. Our in-house design team works with system manufacturers on bracket layouts, wind load calculations and interface details.
    Can you over-clad an existing building?
    Often, yes, subject to the substrate and the fire strategy. We survey and test fixings before we commit to a solution.
