Finding a that ticks every box isn’t easy. Fire compliance, thermal performance, moisture management, durability, aesthetics and technical support all need to come together in one solution.
That’s exactly why more architects, façade consultants and contractors are specifying the ProWall Helping Hand Steel Frame System.
Developed by SAS Europe, ProWall combines the clean, contemporary appearance of a rendered façade with the proven performance of a fully ventilated rainscreen system. The result is a façade that’s built to perform for decades while meeting the demands of modern construction. Unlike any other manufacturer, SAS provides every single component along with hands-on technical support from start to finish.
Designed for Today’s Buildings
As Building Regulations continue to evolve, specifying the right external wall system has never been more important.
The ProWall Helping Hand System has been designed with compliance in mind. The complete system achieves an A2-s1,d0 reaction to fire classification, providing specifiers with a non-combustible rendered façade solution suitable for a wide range of residential, commercial and public sector projects.
Unlike many traditional render systems that rely on combustible insulation or direct-fixed construction methods, ProWall is built around ventilated rainscreen principles, helping to deliver both improved fire performance and long-term durability.
The Benefits of a Ventilated Rainscreen
One of the biggest advantages of the ProWall system is what you don’t see.
Behind the finished render sits a continuous ventilated cavity created using an aluminium Helping Hand support system. This allows any moisture that finds its way behind the façade to drain and evaporate naturally, reducing the risk of trapped moisture and helping to protect the building structure over the long term.
For architects and developers, that means greater confidence in the overall performance of the building envelope.
Built Around Proven Helping Hand Technology
Helping Hand bracket systems have become the preferred choice for many modern façade projects, particularly on steel frame construction.
The adjustable aluminium brackets make it easier to achieve perfectly aligned façades, even where the substrate isn’t completely true. They also minimise thermal bridging through thermally isolated fixing points while allowing insulation to be installed continuously across the building.
The result is a system that’s quicker to install, easier to detail and designed to deliver excellent thermal performance.
Fire Performance Without Compromise
Fire safety is no longer simply a design consideration – it’s a project requirement.
ProWall has been developed using carefully selected non-combustible components to achieve an A2-s1,d0 fire classification in accordance with EN 13501-1.
For architects working on schools, apartment buildings, hotels or commercial developments, this provides reassurance that the façade system has been designed with modern fire performance standards at its core.
A Render Finish That Lasts
Performance doesn’t stop beneath the surface.
The ProWall system is finished with high-performance silicone render, offering outstanding weather resistance, excellent vapour permeability and long-lasting colour stability.
Its hydrophobic finish helps rainwater wash dirt from the surface naturally, reducing staining and keeping façades looking cleaner for longer with minimal maintenance.
More Than Just a Product
Choosing a façade system is about more than selecting materials.
At SAS Europe, every ProWall project is backed by a dedicated technical team that supports customers from initial specification through to project completion.
Whether it’s U-value calculations, CAD details, installer guidance or on-site inspections, we’re there to help at every stage.
It’s this level of support that gives architects and contractors the confidence to specify ProWall time and time again.
Why ProWall?
There are plenty of render systems on the market, but very few combine the appearance of a premium rendered façade with the proven principles of a ventilated rainscreen system.
With an A2-s1,d0 fire classification, excellent thermal performance, effective moisture management and compatibility with industry-leading Helping Hand support systems, ProWall offers a complete solution for modern steel frame construction.
Add in expert technical support, comprehensive project assistance and the quality that SAS Europe is known for, and it’s easy to see why ProWall is becoming the preferred choice for architects across the UK.
When performance matters just as much as appearance, ProWall delivers both. The ProWall system has a BBA-assessed service life in excess of 30 years, which can be extended to up to 60 years where an appropriate inspection and maintenance programme is followed. The system has also achieved approval with major warranty providers, including Premier Guarantee and LABC Warranty, providing additional confidence for developers and homeowners.
