Open the catalog to page 2Rainscreen cladding Principles and benefits The past The rainscreen principle is not new, nor is the idea of rainscreen applied to wall design. For centuries in Norway, drained and back-ventilated claddings were used with both closed and open joints but without any scientific, systematic foundation. Gradually, on buildings with timber claddings, closed joints were adopted, and openings at both the top and bottom of the cladding allowed for drainage and evaporation of any penetrating rainwater. By the 1980’s, rainscreen was understood and widely used in Canada and Europe. Architects and...

Lower embodied energy will allow the designer to achieve a higher BREEAM rating. Apartment and office blocks, retail, healthcare and commercial establishments may well require both remedial and aesthetic work to make them suitable for today's environment. On top of this, the thermal inefficiencies inherent in this legacy building stock will...

Open the catalog to page 6Aesthetics & colour The landscape of colour Awareness of - and therefore care for - the environment is increasing steadily. Far more stress is being given to appropriate colouration of both urban and rural environments in all sectors – domestic, industrial, leisure, public and commercial. Because colours used on buildings are never seen in true isolation, they cannot be considered as absolute and unchanging. They are an integral part of their environment in the most local and most general sense. As part of the language of building they have an important role to play, as do form and...
