Lightweight Cladding System

Our lightweight cladding system is designed
in-house for quick & easy installation

Interlocking clip and rail system

Our lightweight cladding subframe system is an ideal solution for both internal and external facades. Designed by our in-house architects on a project-by-project basis, the aluminium clip and rail subframe system ensures precision and ease of installation.

 

Hangers and fixings are pre-fitted onto the back of the lightweight cladding panels, allowing them to to be effortlessly hung and secured onto the supporting rails. Using this system significantly reduces installation time and costs.

 

Additionally, the panels come pre-formed with external angles, eliminating the need for on-site adjustments.

Subframe Design

We operate on a collaborative basis between main clients, principal architects, and contractors to create a stone facade that works seamlessly. Our UK-based location enables us to swiftly respond to on-site changes, ensuring prompt design updates and fast manufacturing turnaround.

 

Our in-house architects conduct hands-on building surveys and can produce designs for the subframe SFS system to meet project requirements. This approach enables us to deliver quicker turnaround times, allowing your project to stay on schedule and within budget. By integrating early in the design phase, we optimize both cost and performance, ensuring precision and quality in execution.

Facade Integration

Our in-house architects are also experienced in designing entire stone cladding systems that integrate seamlessly with all other facade elements. This includes the incorporation of stone access doors, as well as integration with window units, insulation, curtain walling, and other facade components.
