INTRODUCTION
Euroclad is the UK's home-grown, independent
supplier of metal roof and wall products which provide
exceptional acoustic and thermal performance for the
life of a building. Systems are sustainably credible with
proven routes for recycling and disposal. Euroclad
listens to the needs of its customers and offers high
performance, cost effective solutions. Cutting edge
UK manufacturing maintains Euroclad’s position at the
forefront of the cladding industry, supported through
on-going investment in technology and processes.
Euroclad Façades specialises in the manufacture of
metal rainscreen façade systems. Virtually any metal
envelope geometry can be realised through the
experience and guidance of its specialist workforce
combined with the highest levels of design and
manufacturing technology. This is complemented by
the ability to demonstrate compliance with the relevant
standards and regulations. So talk to Euroclad, the
expert company who are there to help.
Talented, experienced engineers and estimators
provide free consultancy to help develop and cost
designs from even the most obscure general
arrangement drawings. The company is known for
undertaking demanding specifications and products
carry warranties of up to 30 years.
Euroclad Façades has become the first manufacturer
to be awarded certification from the Building Research
Establishment (BRE) for a rainscreen system tested
as an integral part of a complete wall solution.
Unlike other assessments, the BRE analysed the
whole façade system to comply with NHBC, CWCT
and all relevant building regulations, instead of testing
individual components in isolation.

PRINCIPLES OF
RAINSCREEN CLADDING
A rainscreen façade is a cladding applied either during
primary construction or as an over cladding to an
existing structure. Rainscreen cladding consists of an
outer weather-resistant decorative skin fixed to an
underlying structure by means of a supporting grid,
which maintains a ventilated and drained cavity
between the façade and the structure.
Euroclad Façades uses a range of metal and metal
composite materials (MCM) to manufacture rainscreen
cladding systems. MCMs consist of two thin skins of
aluminum or other metals, such as copper, zinc or
stainless steel, continuously bonded under tension to
either side of a thermoplastic or mineral core.
Rainscreen façades are not normally sealed and
a ventilation cavity of at least 25mm is allowed
immediately behind the cladding panel. Insulation
can be positioned within the cavity and openings at
the top and bottom of clad areas allow for evaporation
of moisture vapour, ventilation and drainage.
A ventilated rainscreen incorporating insulation will
allow the building fabric to breathe without the risk
of interstitial condensation or structural decay.
External wall insulation used in this way is superior
in performance as it eliminates the condensation
risks associated with internal or cavity wall insulation.
This is particularly important for refurbishment
schemes. In new construction the use of back
ventilated rainscreen cladding provides the designer
with the opportunity to use economical single skin
load bearing blockwork for infill walls.

Ventilation.

2
The air gap provides ventilation and depending on the
design of the rainscreen, in conjunction with ventilated
panel joints, it may also assist in providing pressure
equalisation across the outer skin. The need for
complicated damp proof membrane detailing is
eliminated and there will be less risk of cold bridging.
3
Fully pressurised and compartmentalised (zoned)
systems control airflow locally and are usually used
on high performance, multi-storey developments.
Where lower performance is required, for example
in low rise structures, then a similar cassette panel
system, although not fully pressure equalised,
performs well.
The pressure equalisation concept is simple:
when outside air pressure is transferred to an air
space behind the exterior cladding, the air gap
compartments must be small enough, the air barrier
system must be airtight enough and the area of the
venting through the rainscreen must be large enough
to allow sufficient air to move in and out of the
compartments under the applied air pressure.
The strategy relies on the control of airflow within
and through the wall assembly.
4
5
In theory, pressure equalisation means a zero air
pressure differential at all times across the rainscreen,
resulting in a complete elimination of the driving force
for pressure-induced water penetration.

FEATURES AND APPLICATIONS
The wide range of materials, finishes, colours and
patterns in which Euroclad LINEAR Façades can
be supplied allows the designer the freedom and
confidence to realise inspiring building designs.
The nature of the composite materials used in
Euroclad’s rainscreen cladding systems results in
extra rigidity, perfect flatness and excellent colour
uniformity. LINEAR Façades can be applied to new
or refurbished buildings. They can be used to clad
huge areas of large buildings or tailored to add
character and interest to specific projects.
A range of systems is available from Euroclad for
diverse applications including:
•
LINEAR Façade Panels for rainscreens
•
Spandrel panels
•
Soffit panels
•
Column casings
•
Fascias, bullnoses and roof perimeter details
•
Interior partitions and ceilings.
Euroclad Façades can help the designer achieve
grand designs or add that special finishing touch.
The accuracy of the 3D CAD modelling team ensures
that everything fits as intended.

of a series of panels that are hung from a support frame.
All panels can be independently removed and replaced
without disrupting the rest of the façade so if an
individual panel is damaged during construction, or
even years after, that panel can easily be replaced.
Euroclad Smart Fixing Systems are engineered rail and
bracket support systems that are supplied along with
the façade panels. Precise static and dynamic load
calculations can be supplied free of charge to ensure
optimum installation.
LINEAR 1 has been awarded certification from the
Building Research Establishment (BRE) for a rainscreen
system tested as an integral part of a complete wall
solution. The BRE analysed the whole façade system
to comply with NHBC, CWCT and all relevant building
standards and regulations.

Inconsistencies in the line and level of the substrate to
which the façade is being attached are easily overcome
due to the adjustable nature of the Smart Fixing System
support grid. This flexibility ensures a flawless
installation can be achieved every time.
Standard panels can be supplied in any module size
up to 1475mm x 7000mm. Long panels will self curve
down to 15m radii. The horizontal joints of LINEAR 1
are fixed at 20mm. Vertical joints can be set at any
size from 5mm up to 40mm.
Different sizes, shapes and orientations of panels can
be supplied in a wide range of metals and MCMs
including mill finish zinc, copper, aluminium, stainless

SUSTAINABILITY
Euroclad is committed
to producing
sustainable
construction
products by employing
a ‘cradle to cradle’
approach to sustainability.
The environmental impact of
all materials and processes is
carefully considered along with
recycling and performance during
the useful life of a building.
The major constituent material used by Euroclad Façades
is aluminium, one of the most widely recycled metals.
The environmental impact of aluminium has been greatly
reduced over the last century, at all stages of the supply
chain. Currently, over a third of global aluminium
production is from recycled material, a figure that is
continually growing. Recycling aluminium takes just 5%
of the energy needed to produce primary metal, resulting
in a 95% reduction in greenhouse gases produced.
Furthermore, due to its recyclability and the fact that
it can be recycled again and again without any loss of
quality, the ‘bank’ of processed aluminium is getting
larger. Currently 75% of all aluminium produced since
the 1880s is still in use for future generations to utilise as
a low energy resource.
Highly efficient manufacturing processes, operated within
an Environmental Management System accredited to
ISO 14001:2004, ensure material use is optimised,
which helps to reduce waste. Any waste that is
generated during the manufacturing process is recycled.
Material that is to be recycled is crushed in a bespoke
compressor which results in far fewer transport loads,
with roughly half the amount of transport needed for
compressed material, compared to uncrushed waste.
34
The environmental
impact of
haulage is not
only minimised
when transporting
material for recycling
but also when taking
systems to site; systems
are ‘site assembled’ and as
such they can be delivered far
more efficiently with fewer loads
to carry products to site.
Site assembly also makes deconstruction much more
straightforward when it comes to the end of a building’s
useful life. Euroclad Façade systems can be
disassembled and transported easily, ready to be
recycled, reused or disposed of. A further benefit
derived from the engineering of many LINEAR systems
is that they allow for renewal of specific areas of a
building that need regular updating or are likely to
be damaged, with minimal disruption and little time
or effort.
One of the most sustainable approaches to construction
is to refurbish an existing structure. Euroclad LINEAR
façades lend themselves to refurbishment applications
perfectly and can help achieve a faster, more cost
effective build with less local disruption and reduced
environmental impact; giving a new lease of life to a
previously undesirable building. LINEAR systems
make it easy to create high quality architecture and
infrastructure, playing a key part in a sustainable future
through the integration of environmental sustainability
with many aspects of design.
The ‘cradle to cradle’ attitude adopted by Euroclad
ensures that a responsible, measurable approach is
taken to sustainability, with no room for intangible
‘green wash’.

REFURBISHMENT
1
Modern methods of construction and innovative
materials can transform tired and outdated buildings
into attractive and inspiring spaces. Refurbishing
buildings rather than demolishing and rebuilding them
offers many significant benefits.
Refurbishment projects generally cause less
disruption to the community and can dramatically
improve the aesthetics of a building and the
surrounding environment. In addition to the social
benefits, refurbishments can make financial sense,
even when the complete building envelope needs
replacing. The majority of the building fabric can be
retained, saving a significant amount of time and
money. In addition, by reusing the functioning parts
of the building, the impact on the environment is
lowered with material production and transport being
greatly reduced.
2
Metal composite materials, incorporating ACM,
are proving to be increasingly popular for use in
refurbishment projects as they are light, strong and
durable, putting less strain on the building structure
than heavier options. MCM can provide a mirror-like
smoothness and can appear flatter than glass. It can
be produced in a range of colours and can provide
excellent colour consistency, offering architects design
freedom which other materials cannot deliver.

With almost three decades of experience Euroclad
has diverse manufacturing capabilities: in depth
engineering skills; broad materials understanding;
innovative and pro-active problem solving capabilities;
well honed project management skills and an open
attitude as a creative collaborator. This unique
combination positions Euroclad as the ideal
collaborative partner for architects and designers.
One project which is a key example of Euroclad’s
exceptional technical ability was the transformation
of the former Millennium Dome into the O2 Arena.
Costing £500 million, the project was designed by
HOK Sport and constructed by Sir Robert McAlpine.
Specialist roofing contractor WWR installed the roof
and the perimeter bullnose.
Euroclad took on the contract for the bullnose feature
on a design and supply basis, appointing Buro Happold
to assist with the analysis of the complex geometry.
A strategy was developed by a team working together
to provide the optimum solution for the bullnose
structure, which was installed around the 468m
perimeter of the roof.
The feature detail was ultimately realised by
manufacturing 95 individual five metre assemblies,
each formed from 73 cold formed galvanised steel
components. These were finished with 760 individual
ALPOLIC/fr ACM skin elements which combined to
create the final bullnose geometry. Installation of this
structure was an intricate operation; the galvanised
assemblies were built at the factory in Cardiff and
transported to site where they were attached to
the primary steel work at 10m from ground level.
The Alpolic skins were then installed before the
whole structure was lifted into its final position 40m
above the ground.
