Our expertise spans the matrix of cladding materials and systems, including fire resistance cladding panels, ensuring clients receive the most suitable, safe and cost-effective practical solutions tailored to their project needs. From Pre-Construction Service Agreements (PCSA) to project delivery, our skills, knowledge, experience and behaviours deliver an industry-leading cladding solution.
Engineered Cladding Solutions to Enhance Design and Durability
From rainscreen and curtain walling to advanced metal, glass, and fibre cement systems, our commercial cladding expertise ensures every building envelope performs with safety, efficiency, and architectural precision.
Through compliant material selection, detailed PCSA planning, and expert installation, we deliver cladding solutions that enhance safety and durability, reduce lifecycle costs, and elevate aesthetic performance. We design systems that meet regulatory standards and support sustainable building outcomes.
Explore our range of specialist cladding systems below.
Rainscreen Cladding Systems
Rainscreen systems are highly effective and versatile solutions, offering superior protection from the elements. The ventilated façade creates an air gap that prevents moisture accumulation, enhancing buildings’ thermal performance and durability. Rainscreen cladding is available in various materials such as non-combustible aluminium cladding panels, fibre cement, high-pressure laminate (HPL), copper composite materials, and reconstituted stone, enabling aesthetic flexibility and compliance with building fire regulations.
Curtain Walling Systems
Curtain wall systems offer lightweight, non-structural external cladding ideal for commercial and industrial buildings, providing a visually striking, glass-fronted façade. These systems allow ample natural light, contributing to energy efficiency and occupant comfort. We rigorously test our curtain wall solutions to meet the highest safety and performance standards for fire resistance and structural integrity.
Metal External Cladding
We deliver various metal cladding solutions, including aluminium, steel, and copper. Metal cladding is renowned for its durability, weather resistance, and modern aesthetic appeal. Aluminium composite panels (ACM) with non-combustible cores are particularly popular for their lightweight properties and flexibility in design, available in a broad spectrum of finishes and colours, including marine-grade solutions.
Fibre Cement Cladding
Fibre cement boards combine excellent fire performance, are rated Euroclass A2-s1 and d0, have durability and low maintenance, and are suitable for cladding in buildings requiring enhanced fire safety and aesthetic appeal.
Glass Cladding
Glass rainscreen cladding provides an elegant, contemporary finish that enhances commercial buildings' aesthetic value and sustainability. Our fire-rated safety glass systems are tested and rated A2, ensuring visual impact and critical fire safety compliance.
Selecting the Right Cladding Solution
Cladding selection depends on various factors, including building type, height, location, aesthetic goals, and regulatory compliance, particularly concerning choosing fire-rated wall cladding systems.
We transparently guide clients through the selection process, providing detailed assessments and recommendations to ensure you choose the most appropriate solution, driven by our cladding knowledge, insight and experience.
A Focus on Fire Safety and Compliance
Ensuring cladding fire safety and compliance is paramount. The Building Safety Act and ‘Building Safer Buildings’ include stringent legislation to govern cladding materials, including non-combustible cladding and fire-rated external cladding systems. Partnering and aligning ourselves with industry-accredited fire & structural engineers, we maximise building performance and cladding remediation through the following:
Cladding Surveying and Auditing
Our in-house technical cladding surveyors use advanced diagnostic tools like drone surveys, thermal imaging, intrusive inspections, and laser measurements to provide precise assessments, identifying risks and requirements for remediation.
Robust Systems and Processes
We employ rigorous systems and processes reinforced by our comprehensive Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII). We meticulously adhere to building regulations, particularly Part B for fire safety, ensuring all materials used meet classifications A1 or A2-s1, d0 for high-rise and high-risk buildings.
Advanced Design Capabilities
Our commercial cladding design team ensures compliance with current standards such as BS 9999:2017 and Approved Document B. Our experience and capability in system and substrate interfaces minimise fire risk while delivering visually appealing and functional façades.
Dedicated Project Management
From initial consultation to project completion, our dedicated project managers ensure smooth, compliant, and timely project delivery. Our Construction Project Management (CPM) tools, including Procore software, provide transparent, real-time project oversight, ensuring all stakeholders remain informed and confident.
Delivering Successful Fire Rated Wall Cladding Systems
We’ve built a trusted reputation within the cladding remediation sector through successful projects that comply fully with legislative requirements. We consistently achieve outstanding outcomes, building effective client-centric relationships supported by our integrated approach and divisions, extensive industry knowledge, and commitment to quality and safety.
Additionally, our expertise and knowledge of BSA, PAS 9980, and successfully constructing and fire testing façade mock-ups to BS8414 standards provide confidence in our experience and credibility as a principal cladding designer and contractor.
Whatever your cladding project option or challenge may be, our specialist, experienced cladding contractor team can guide you with cladding audit reports, cladding design solutions, material selection based on building purpose and location and ensure your next cladding project is durable, safe and sustainable.
