There are two types of buildings that need extra attention when it comes to fire safety: high-rise and high-risk buildings. We ensure that all of our fittings are carried out correctly with approriate materials.
Working to direct rain or wind away from the building structure and prevent damp or damage
Insulation
Most cladding forms an insulating barrier of air between it and the external walls
Aesthetics
A range of different visual effects can be achieved with cladding material
Fire protection
Certain cladding can be used to reduce the spread of fire
High rise protection
The concept of external cladding is to protect, insulate, stabalise and or visually enhance.
In modern highrise buildings, the exterior walls are often suspended from the concrete floor slabs. Examples include curtain walls and precast concrete walls. The façade can at times be required to have a fire-resistance rating, for instance, if two buildings are very close together, to lower the likelihood of fire spreading from one building to another.
In general, the façade systems that are suspended or attached to the precast concrete slabs will be made from aluminium (powdercoated or anodized) or stainless steel.
We install and repair aluminium windows, doors and facades to both commercial and residential construction markets, and have ISO 9002 quality accreditation. Our flexibility combined with our technical expertise, allow us to undertake any aluminium project.
