Rainscreen Cladding

Rainscreen cladding is designed to work alongside the elements of nature and protect your building from rain, wind and hot temperatures. The great thing about our rain cladding system is that it is visually appealing, as well as it being great at performing as it should. Making sure your building is waterproof, fireproof and truly damage free from the elements is vital and at Roofclad Systems we know how to create all of this effortlessly. We even work with a range of materials such as stone, granite, tile, aluminium, particulate boards (Trespa) and discretely fixed rainscreen – all with a vast experience profile.

Wall Overcladding

Sometimes referred to as ‘Single Skin’ wall cladding, this can be a lot cheaper in comparison to other wall cladding options, however, this only applies if the existing wall surface is in good condition. It involves installing a new profiled metal skin over the top of the existing wall with insulation and support bars installed in-between.

Traditional Built Up Wall Cladding

Traditional build up wall cladding consists of an internal metal liner, insulation layer and an external face. This is the most traditional industrial wall cladding system that you are used to seeing. It has a mineral wool core for insulation and a thin metal skin. All of these elements impact the thermal performance of the existing building, as well as adding value to your design.

You can choose from numerous options that are available for the external face, which means, as a client you are able to fully personalise your building and get a truly bespoke finish. In addition to this, the U-value build up can be changed up depending on the client’s needs.
