Rainscreen Systems

 

Rainscreen panels are the top layer on a cladding system that typically comprises an outer skin, incorporating air gaps, fixed to a support frame, which locates onto the structural wall.

If insulation is not already in the structural wall, it is possible to introduce insulation between the building envelope and the outer skin or rainscreen panel. Rainscreens create a completely flat surface, and provide a screen behind which the structural wall is protected from wind, rain and solar damage.

The air gap or cavity between the structural wall and outer rainscreen panel results in equalisation of pressures internally and externally preventing the drive of airborne moisture across the cavity and protecting the structure.
Rainscreen panels are ideally suited to both new build projects and refurbishments fi xed to existing facades.

 

Support Systems


The rainscreen support system comprises a range of adjustable wall brackets, which accommodates the external panel, insulation and air gap. Bracket designs allow for a hook on or direct fix rainscreen system, when necessary, it is possible to remove the panels individually.
