energy. There are many choices and variations of Timber options – from the softwoods such as the popular (due to its extraction method) Western Red Cedar to hardwoods like Oak. As it’s a natural material it will weather over time, require a treatment and more regular maintenance than other panel materials. In addition to these there are thermally modified timbers such as ThermoWood, Accoya, and PlatoWood. These timbers are created using a (patented) process which typically involves thermally modifying the properties of the timber to improve its lifespan, strength, durability and stability. Timber panels offer great thermal efficiency, sound insulation and a beautiful authentic wooden finish.
Ceramic Tile
Manufactured in a large format panel process these panels can provide a high gloss modular glazed appearance and can represent the look of stone or quarried materials. Performance under impact can sometimes be an issue, however this is usually dealt with by bonding a glass fibre based mesh to the rear of each tile.
GRP (Glass re-enforced plastic)
This product lends itself to a building with a facade design that involves a repetitive 3D modular appearance. It is a versatile product which is often used when other materials
cannot meet the required specifications such as fire ratings and durability. It’s manufactured by combining plastic and glass strands with
pigmented thermosetting UV resins. The end result is an impressively strong, durable and attractive panel.
Fibrous Concrete
Used for many years, this panel has historically been installed as part of a structural load bearing system. In recent years we have seen the introduction of acid etched concrete panels and which again are pre moulded and tend to be load bearing as well. However a form of light duty concrete panels have now appeared on the market.
Design Freedom
So, as you can see you have a plethora of decorative rainscreen cladding panels to choose from, but you don’t have to choose just one. Stretch your creativity by combining two or more materials, colours and designs to create a unique and breath- taking facade. To help you pick the right panel for your next project it’s
worth getting a technical expert in at the very start. Use their technical and product knowledge to help you turn your design dreams into reality.
