Rainscreen facades for prestigious towers
An impressive group of three, high spec contemporary apartment blocks in London’s Cable Street have benefited from special cladding by Euroclad Facades.
Built by Rydon Homes, the three towers each contain one, two and three bedroom apartments with modern open plan layouts and impressive panoramic views across London.
The LINEAR 2 rainscreen facade system was specified in medium grey metallic Alpolic composite material. Installed by Durable Contracts, a Euroclad approved installer, the faÁade solution comprises of a series of cassette panels individually hooked onto the support frame.
The panels can be removed and replaced independently without disrupting the rest of the facade, which is particularly useful should single panels become damaged. The LINEAR 2 system is said to infinitely adjustable and erection of the panels can begin anywhere on the building.
Euroclad Facades has incorporated the latest CAD software into its manufacturing process to ensure consistent accuracy and provide bespoke fabrications. It designed and manufactured bespoke window pods for the apartments using the software, which ensures that the flawless, flat appearance was continued throughout the exterior of the building and the windows could be installed after the facade.
Manufactured by Mitsubishi, Aloplic composite material provides an exceptional finish with great colour uniformity and impressive flatness. It is lightweight and rigid with a non-combustible core.
Steve Barnes of Rydon Construction says: “The LINEAR 2 system was exceptionally easy to install and the ultra-flat panels add a modern appearance to the apartments.”
This completed high class, residential development continues to provide a fine example of just how effective and efficient the new generation of “clip on” claddings can be in achieving a perfect external finish. Easily removed or repositioned, if necessary, they ensure that the facades can always be maintained to the highest standard, which is important on prestigious residences – Ed
