A1 Cladding

Stock, warehouse and delivery across the UK.

Programme slips are rarely about the panel. They are about the panel arriving on the wrong day, on the wrong vehicle, at a gate that will not take it.

In here:
Stock held on fast moving cladding and building board lines.
Panels banded, protected and labelled by elevation.
Part loads and full loads, timed to your programme.
Loading, crane offload and site access checks.

Questions we get:
Do you deliver nationwide? Yes, from stock and from fabrication.
Can you hold material and call it off? Yes, staged against your programme.
What about restricted access? Tell us before dispatch and we size the vehicle to the gate.

Chasing a delivery is cheaper than rescheduling a lift. Book the slot when you place the order, not the week you need it.

Also in this album: banding and protection, elevation labelling, staged call off, loading and offload, and access checks before the vehicle leaves.

Supplied nationwide from London, with stock lines held for fast moving cladding and boards.

Tell us the date, the site access and the offload method. Email [email protected] or call 0207 050 0719 and we will book the delivery slot alongside the order.

Projects supplied across the UK.

Schools, residential blocks, commercial units, industrial envelopes and high end housing. Different buildings, same requirement: the right classification, delivered on programme, with the paperwork ready.

In here:
Completed elevations with the system named in the caption.
Facade build ups, cavity detailing and junctions.
Before and after on recladding and remediation work.
Panel types, fixing method and location on each set.

Questions we get:
Do you work outside London? Nationwide supply, from one office.
Can you supply a similar system? If it is in these photos, we can price it.
Can I see a reference? We can point you to the system and the manufacturer certification.

If your elevation looks like one of these, the specification work is already half done. Tell us which album and we will take it from there.

Also in this album: rainscreen build ups, cavity barrier positions, parapet and reveal junctions, and the material schedule behind each elevation.

Supplied nationwide from London, with the same technical team from enquiry to delivery.

Brick slip, GRC, terracotta, natural stone and zinc facades.

For elevations that have to pass planning and still hit programme. Every system here gives the weight and depth of masonry without hand laying it storey by storey.

In here:
Wienerberger clay brick slips with tight tolerances.
Mechanical and adhesive brick slip cladding systems.
GRC in bespoke shapes, profiles and finishes.
Terracotta baguettes, tiles and bespoke glazes.
Natural stone rainscreen, fixed as a system not hand set.
Parklex Prodema natural wood faced panels.

Questions we get:
Will planning accept slips? Usually, when the bond and mortar match the approved brick.
How heavy is GRC? Light enough for rainscreen framing, heavy enough to read as concrete.
Lead time on bespoke? Quote it at design stage, not at tender.

Send the elevation drawing and the planning condition.

Also in this album: bond patterns, corner and reveal slips, GRC profiles and copings, terracotta finishes and stone fixing detail.

Supplied nationwide from London. Bespoke lead times confirmed in writing before you commit to a date.

Send the spec to [email protected] or call 0207 050 0719 and we will check it against Approved Document B.

Aluminium and metal facades, A1 and A2 classified.

Metal gets specified when the elevation has to hold a crisp line and survive impact. This album is aluminium composite, solid aluminium, zinc and mesh on real buildings.

In here:
Alucobond PLUS and Alucobond A2.
ALUCORE aluminium honeycomb panels.
Aluclad cassette interlock hook on system.
Luxe Coat solid aluminium, A1 classified.
VMZINC standing seam and interlocking panel.
Expanded mesh screens for schools and offices.

Questions we get:
Is ACM still allowed? Only with the correct core and classification. Check the building height first.
Cassette or rivet fix? Cassette for flush faces. Rivet for speed and budget.
Can you form the cassettes? Yes, folded and prepared to your drawings.

Post Grenfell, the core is the question that matters. We supply the classification with the panel.

Also in this album: cassette returns, standing seam junctions, mesh fixing frames, powder coated trims and flashings matched to the panel.

Supplied nationwide from London. Fire classification and certification sent with the quotation.

Send us the spec to [email protected] or call 0207 050 0719 and we will check it against Approved Document B.

Fibre cement cladding, through coloured and coated.

Fibre cement is the default on a lot of UK elevations for a reason. A2 rated, dimensionally stable, no coating to peel. This album shows how the different ranges actually weather.

In here:
Equitone Natura, Tectiva, Linea and Materia.
Cedral Click and Lap weatherboard.
Cembrit Cladding and Cembrit Plank.
James Hardie fibre cement panel and plank.
Swisspearl Carat, Viroc and Werzalit.

Questions we get:
Through colour or coated? Equitone shows the raw base material. Cedral and Cembrit are coated.
Will the colour shift? Through coloured panels age evenly. Coated boards depend on the finish.
Residential or commercial? Cedral for houses. Equitone and Cembrit for both.

Ask for a sample before you commit an elevation to a colour chart. Screens lie about texture.

Also in this album: board thicknesses, edge profiles, joint options, secret fix and face fix detailing on fibre cement elevations.

Supplied nationwide from London. Samples posted, certificates and fixing guides sent with the price.

Do not wait until it is on site. Send the elevation drawing to [email protected] or call 0207 050 0719 and we will come back with a price.

Substructure, brackets, rails and fixings for rainscreen facades.

The panel gets the attention. The substructure decides whether the facade moves, rattles or stays flat for thirty years. This album covers the parts that carry the load.

In here:
Plastestrip FastFrame carrier systems and Plasticlad accessories.
Aluminium helping hand brackets, thermal isolators, T and L rails.
SikaTack panel bonding system with tape and primer.
Luxe Coat solid aluminium trims and flashings.
Stainless and colour matched fixings.

Questions we get:
Aluminium or steel? Depends on span, load and thermal bridging.
Do I need thermal breaks? On most new build wall build ups, yes.
Can fixings be colour matched? Powder coated to the panel RAL.

One supplier for panel, insulation, barrier and frame means one delivery and no gaps between trades.

Also in this album: bracket layouts, rail spans, thermal isolators, cavity setting out, panel bonding and packing details.

Supplied nationwide from London. Send the elevation and the panel type and we size the frame with it.

Price it at design stage, not on site. Send the drawings to [email protected], or call 0207 050 0719 and we will come back with a price.

A1 non-combustible rainscreen insulation, BBA certified.

Behind every panel in this album sits stone wool that has to do two jobs at once: hit the U-value and stay non-combustible. Get the thickness wrong and the cavity closes up, ventilation stops and moisture stays where it lands.

In here:
ROCKWOOL RainScreen Duo Slab.
Knauf Rocksilk RainScreen Slab.
Kingspan K-Roc and Unilin SW/RS.
ISOVER Polterm Max Plus and Ursa Walltec Black.

Questions we get:
What reaction to fire class? Euroclass A1 on the stone wool lines.
How much cavity do I need? Allow a clear ventilated cavity behind the insulation face.
Is it BBA certified? Yes, certificates supplied with the quote.

Specify the slab with the system, not after it. Retro fitting insulation to a fixed frame never ends well.

Also in this album: slab fixed to SFS, cavity kept clear behind the panel, insulation at parapets, reveals and floor junctions.

Supplied nationwide from London. BBA certificate numbers and U-value support sent with the quotation.

Tell us the U-value, the cavity depth and the panel type. Write to [email protected] or ring us on 0207 050 0719 and we will specify the right slab with the system, not after it.

Panel fabrication and CNC cut to size, done before delivery.

Cutting on site wastes board, wastes hours and voids edge warranties on some fibre cement lines. This album is what the panels look like when they arrive ready to fix.

In here:
CNC routed panels from your setting out drawings.
Chamfered, rebated and profiled edges.
Pre drilled fixing holes on centres.
Bespoke composite panel fabrication and cassette forming.
Aluminium honeycomb and solid aluminium cassettes.

Questions we get:
What file do you need? DWG or DXF with panel numbers and orientation.
How tight are tolerances? Within 1mm on routed panels.
Can you label each panel for the elevation? Yes, panels arrive marked and sequenced.

Fabricated panels also cut your waste line. You pay for the area you fix, not the offcuts in the skip.

Also in this album: cassette folding, routed reveals, bonded returns, panel numbering, protective film and packing for site sequence.

Supplied nationwide from London. Send a DWG and we quote the fabrication with the material, not separately.

Do not wait until it is on site. Send the setting out drawings to [email protected] or call 0207 050 0719 and we will come back with a price.

Fire protection boards, cavity barriers and firestops for Approved Document B.

This album shows the parts of the wall nobody photographs and Building Control always checks. Open state cavity barriers at every floor level, perimeter firestops at the slab edge, A1 sheathing behind the panel.

In here:
Siderise cavity barriers and curtain wall firestops.
AIM open state cavity barriers with intumescent strip.
FSi Paraflam SEB perimeter barriers.
Promat, Supalux, DensGlass, Kemwell and RCM Y-Wall sheathing boards.

Questions we get:
What class do I need? A1 or A2 to BS EN 13501-1 on relevant buildings over 18m.
Do barriers need to be continuous? Yes, at floor level and around every opening.
Can you supply test data? Every line ships with the certificate.

If the barrier is missed or bridged, the system fails inspection and the cavity does the rest.

Also in this album: barrier positions at slab edge, ventilated open state detail, sheathing board fixed to SFS, junctions around windows and parapets.

Supplied nationwide from London. Every product listed with its Euroclass rating and certificate.

Send your drawings to [email protected] or call 0207 050 0719 before you go to tender.

A2-s1,d0 rated rainscreen panels supplied across the UK.

Every panel in this album is classified to BS EN 13501-1 and comes with current certification. If the building is over 11m, fire class is not a preference. It is the difference between a sign off and a stop notice.

What you are looking at:
Rockpanel, Equitone, Trespa, Alucobond, Swisspearl, Vitrabond and Fundermax.
Open joint and closed joint rainscreen builds.
Panels cut, drilled and edge finished before they reach site.

Questions we get on these panels:
Which ones are A2 rated above 18m? Rockpanel FS-Xtra, Equitone, Vitrabond A2 and Alucobond A2.
Can you match an existing elevation? Yes, send a sample or a RAL reference.
What lead time? Stock lines move in days. Fabricated panels follow the setting out drawings.

A spec error caught at tender costs a phone call. Caught on site it costs weeks.

Also in this album: panel joints, riveted and bonded fixing, reveal and window detailing, soffit and roofline infills.

Supplied nationwide from London. Certification, BBA references and datasheets sent with every quotation.

Send the spec to [email protected] or ring 0207 050 0719 and we will confirm the fire classification.
