Cedral’s new RIBA approved CPD is now available to book!

Specifying rainscreen cladding is a perpetual challenge for architects, balancing aesthetic goals, functional performance and regulatory compliance.

Modern fibre cement rainscreen cladding systems should comply and exceed strict fire safety regulations, ensure proper ventilation to manage moisture and condensation, and achieve energy efficiency and sustainability targets.

Adding to this complexity is the need to integrate the chosen cladding seamlessly into diverse building designs, from contemporary commercial facades to traditional residential developments, while adhering to tight project timelines and budgets.

Cedral’s latest CPD presentation “Ventilated Fibre Cement Rainscreen Cladding: Design Principles and Project Integration” has been designed to give architects practical guidance and design inspiration to ensure project success.

The learning objectives from the CPD will simplify rainscreen cladding specification, reduce risk and realise your aesthetic vision. Topics covered include:

  • History and performance characteristics of fibre cement
  • Key principles of rainscreen cladding; including the importance of ventilation and the benefits it brings to buildings
  • Specification support including installation options, technical support, building regulations, fire performance and NBS management
  • Project integration; including aesthetic options and functionality
  • Sustainable considerations

The thermally efficient engineered polymer composite rainscreen cladding support bracket.

  • Low thermal conductivity
  • Made of polymer composite
  • Flame retardant
  • Extremely strong
  • High mechanical resistance
  • Fully isolating
  • Optical density
  • Greater design flexibility
  • Highly efficient
  • Proudly sustainable

EKO rainscreen cladding support brackets are made of a flame retardant engineered polymer composite, an extremely strong, highly efficient industrial compound with low thermal conductivity and improved U-value performance resulting in reduced heat flow through the rainscreen construction. EKO thermobrackets provide the façade designer and thermal engineer with greater design flexibility.

image 3 copyimage 4 copyYou’re the buyer – We understand that price per unit or m2 is important to you. Bracket for bracket we may not be the cheapest (although often we can be). However, the superior quality of our product offers you multiple savings in other areas:

image 1Savings through strength

NVELOPE brackets are superior in design and engineered to be very strong. Stronger brackets means fewer brackets per m2 – often saving you over 10% vs competitors.

 

 

 

image 1bSavings through time

NVELOPE brackets are pre-loaded with isolators, meaning efficient onsite assembly. Plus, fewer brackets mean fewer holes to drill on site – again increasing efficiency.

And…

Fewer brackets = fewer fixings to rails

Fewer brackets = fewer primary fixings

Plus…

Fewer brackets and fewer primary fixings gives huge thermal benefits to your build.
