Overview

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.  Talented, experienced engineers and estimators provide free advice 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 up to 30 year warranties.

Euroclad LINEAR Façades offer a wide range of metals and Metal Composite Materials (MCM).  The majority of rainscreen facades are supplied in Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) which can be supplied in a wide range of solid colours, metallic finishes and pearlescent, stone, timber and simulated metal effects.  MCMs include stainless steel, titanium, copper and zinc and unlike ACMs they are supplied as a natural metal for organic, architectural applications. Facade systems are available produced in materials as listed below.

ACM -Technical Info

Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) consists of two thin skins of aluminium continuously bonded under tension to either side of a thermoplastic or mineral core.The core material allows for uniform expansion and contraction of both metal skins. ACM is a lightweight material that benefits from excellent flatness and rigidity. Our range of ACM materials are sourced from the leading manufacturers in the World. For excellent colour uniformity, superior flatness and comprehensive technical support we recommend the use of ALPOLIC material from Mitsubishi Chemical. A huge range of colours and finishes are available including popular silver shades and special finishes like timber and stone.

MCM - Technical Info

Metal Composite Materials (MCM) use natural metals that are bonded in the same way as ACM with two thin skins of material either side of a thermoplastic or mineral core. If a specific metal finish is specified but the benefits of a composite material are required then MCM is recommended. We can provide a range of natural metal composite materials including zinc and copper.

Titanium Composite Material (TCM) has unparalleled corrosion resistance and fits to applications in a highly corrosive environment.

Steel Composite Material (SCM) is highly rust-resistant and is suitable for roofs and external claddings.

Zinc Composite Material (ZCM) has a distinctive grey appearance that evolves through natural weathering.

Similarly Copper Composite Material (CCM) uses real copper with its distinctive hue and shine which weathers over time to the stunning green patina seen in many iconic structures, one of the most obvious examples being the Statue of Liberty.

Anodised Aluminum - Technical Info

Aluminium's is a metal that responds to anodising which creates even greater flexibility in its colour and hue and adds a robust and hard wearing finish. Anodising is the conversion of a metal creating a protective film of Aluminium oxide.

The natural oxide film is induced by passing an electric current through dilute Sulphuric Acid with the Aluminium part as the anode. The entire process usually involves a chemical pre-clean, and immersion in a chemical to give the required finish. Anodising also allows colouring of the oxidised metal. We can supply anodised panels that benefit from the hard wearing coating that the process delivers. These products tend to be used on exclusive developments, for specific aspects of a building or areas that need to be particularly durable. Panels are preformed before being anodised and there are limitations to the maximum size due to the complex process. The aluminium that is suitable for this treatment is of a specific composition. We use leading UK anodising companies Haywood and LHT.

Polyester Powder Coating - Technical Info

Polyester powder coated (PPC) aluminium has been popular for some time and it is still in widespread use in the construction and automotive industries. The advantages of powder coating are that standard stock aluminium can be quickly coated with standard or bespoke colours to match or contrast a building's design. If single skin aluminium is specified we can powder coat products using our sister company Euro Quality Coatings, an Interpon D powder coater that is situated on the same 200 acre site as Euroclad Facades. One of the UK's leading powder coating companies, EQC use the highest quality application equipment, powders and pre-treatments, providing a professional service for volume and batch quantities. Attention to detail at every stage of the metal finishing process is maintained through a series of comprehensive in-process controls, end of line inspection and end of line testing.
