Aluminium
Aluminium cladding provides a lightweight, corrosion‑resistant façade solution ideal for commercial and architectural buildings. It offers excellent durability, modern aesthetics and a wide range of colours and finishes including anodised, powder‑coated and pre‑painted options.
How It Works
- Carrier rails or brackets are installed to the building structure
- Aluminium panels or sheets are fixed or hung onto the support system
- Insulation and breather membranes added where required
- Joints, corners and edges finished with aluminium trims
- All interfaces fully sealed for weather protection
Benefits
- Lightweight and easy to install
- Highly resistant to corrosion and weathering
- Modern appearance with extensive colour options
- Long lifespan with minimal maintenance
- Ideal for contemporary commercial buildings
Typical Applications
- Offices and commercial façades
- Retail parks and showrooms
- Modern architectural projects
- Public buildings and educational facilities
Fibre Cement
Fibre cement cladding provides a robust, non‑combustible façade solution with a natural, textured appearance. It is ideal for commercial buildings requiring durability, fire performance and low maintenance.
How It Works
- Support battens or rails installed to the structure
- Fibre cement boards fixed mechanically with screws or clips
- Ventilated cavity maintained behind boards
- Trims added to corners, edges and window reveals
- Boards sealed and finished as required
Benefits
- Non‑combustible and fire‑rated
- Strong resistance to rot, moisture and impact
- Natural, modern appearance
- Low maintenance and long lifespan
- Suitable for both new build and refurbishment
Typical Applications
- Schools, hospitals and public buildings
- Commercial units and offices
- Residential blocks and mixed‑use developments
Steel
Steel cladding provides a durable, cost‑effective solution for industrial and commercial buildings. Available in various profiles and plastisol or polyester finishes, it offers strong weather protection and fast installation.
How It Works
- Rails or purlins prepared
- Steel sheets or panels fixed with coated fasteners
- Insulation and vapour control layers added where required
- Flashings installed to seal edges and junctions
- Finishing trims applied for a clean appearance
Benefits
- Highly durable and impact‑resistant
- Wide range of colours and profiles
- Quick installation and cost‑effective
- Suitable for large commercial elevations
- Long lifespan with minimal maintenance
Typical Applications
- Warehouses and industrial units
- Agricultural buildings
- Retail parks and commercial façades
Composite Panel
Composite cladding panels combine insulation and external skins into a single high‑performance system. They offer excellent thermal efficiency, fast installation and a clean, modern appearance.
How It Works
- Panels lifted into position and fixed through the side joints
- Interlocking profiles create a sealed, continuous façade
- Integrated insulation provides thermal performance
- Flashings and trims complete edges and openings
- Joints fully sealed for weather protection
Benefits
- Exceptional thermal performance
- Rapid installation reduces project time
- Clean, modern appearance
- Fire‑rated options available
- Ideal for large commercial façades
Typical Applications
- Distribution centres
- Retail parks
- Commercial and industrial buildings
UPVC
UPVC cladding provides a lightweight, low‑maintenance façade option suitable for commercial and residential buildings. It offers good weather resistance and a clean, uniform appearance.
How It Works
- Timber or metal battens installed
- uPVC boards fixed with concealed or face screws
- Ventilated cavity maintained behind boards
- Trims added to corners, edges and openings
- Boards sealed where required
Benefits
- Lightweight and easy to install
- Low maintenance and rot‑proof
- Cost‑effective solution
- Good weather resistance
- Available in multiple colours and styles
Typical Applications
- Small commercial units
- Residential façades
- Outbuildings and refurbishments
Curtain Wall
Curtain walling provides a high‑performance glazed façade system used on commercial and multi‑storey buildings. It offers excellent natural light, modern aesthetics and strong weather protection.
How It Works
- Aluminium framing installed to the building structure
- Glazed units or panels fitted into the frame
- Thermal breaks and gaskets ensure airtightness
- Mullions, transoms and caps complete the façade
- All joints sealed for weather and air performance
Benefits
- Modern, high‑end appearance
- Excellent natural light and visibility
- Strong thermal and acoustic performance
- Suitable for large elevations and multi‑storey buildings
- Long lifespan with minimal maintenance
Typical Applications
- Office blocks
- Entrances and atriums
- Commercial buildings
- Public and institutional buildings
Attached System
Attached cladding systems use mechanical fixings, rails or carrier frameworks to secure external panels to a building’s structure. These systems create a ventilated or sealed façade that improves weather protection, thermal performance and overall appearance. Attached systems are compatible with a wide range of materials including aluminium, steel, composite panels, fibre cement, uPVC and specialist architectural finishes.
How It Works
- The existing structure or substrate is assessed and prepared
- Brackets, rails or carrier frameworks are installed to create fixing points
- Cladding panels are mechanically fixed, hung or interlocked onto the support system
- Insulation, vapour control layers and breather membranes added where required
- Joints, corners, penetrations and interfaces fully sealed
- Finishing trims, flashings and detailing applied for a complete façade
Benefits
- Compatible with multiple cladding materials and finishes
- Allows for ventilated or sealed façade construction
- Improves weather resistance and thermal performance
- Provides flexibility for complex shapes and architectural detailing
- Suitable for refurbishment without heavy structural alteration
- Long lifespan with low maintenance requirements
Typical Applications
- Commercial and industrial buildings
- Retail parks and showrooms
- Schools, hospitals and public buildings
- Office blocks and multi‑storey developments
- Residential blocks requiring façade upgrades
- Architectural projects with varied materials or mixed systems
Repairs
Commercial cladding systems improve the appearance, weather protection and thermal performance of commercial and industrial buildings. Cladding upgrades ageing façades, resolves water ingress issues, enhances insulation and provides a modern, durable exterior finish. Suitable for refurbishment, extensions and new build projects across all sectors.
How It Works
- The existing façade is inspected and measured
- Support rails, brackets or carrier systems are installed
- Selected cladding materials such as aluminium, steel, composite or fibre cement are fixed in place
- Insulation, breather membranes and vapour control layers added where required
- All joints, corners, flashings and interfaces are fully sealed
- Finishing trims and detailing completed for a clean, professional appearance
Benefits
- Strong weather protection and improved building performance
- Modern, clean appearance with a wide range of colours and finishes
- Enhanced thermal efficiency when combined with insulation
- Suitable for both refurbishment and new build projects
- Long lifespan with low maintenance requirements
- Fire‑rated options available depending on material selection
Typical Applications
- Commercial buildings and retail units
- Industrial warehouses and factories
- Schools, hospitals and public buildings
- Office blocks and multi‑storey developments
- Refurbishment of ageing façades
- Extensions and new build elevations
