Systems

Eclad modular aluminum cladding systems have been developed to meet the challenges of a variety of construction applications without sacrificing quality, performance or installation speed. These new systems often allow the use of thinner stone panels for greater economy, lighter construction methods and enhanced appearance

  
ESV system | A lighter system that facilitates cladding to a back-up structure
ESW system | Floor spanning rain screen curtain wall with a stone face
ESD system | A horizontal system for setting to block or stud walls

ESW Installation Sequence

 

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

  • Vertical mullions are independent of stone joints for maximum efficiency
  • Available as both a pressure equalized open joint or a fully sealed system
  • Can incorporate visual areas and opening lights with a full range of ancillaries
  • Meets all severe performance requirements, including thermal and acoustic regulations
  • Works with a wide range of stone dimensions and thicknesses
  • Unique connections allow for horizontal expansion- useful on steel structures and in seismic regions
  • Aluminum grid system offers flexible design solutions and high recyclability
  • Works well with stone, marble or terra cotta

INSTALLATION HIGHLIGHTS

  • Quick installation saves money and integrates with fast track programs
  • The ESW system achieves complete weather tightness prior to the installation of the stone cladding, removing it from the critical path, while helping to accelerate the construction schedule
  • Stone installation is non-sequential, allowing the cladding project to follow the contractor’s requirements
  • During construction, panels can be replaced individually or subsequently
  • 3-way anchor system is designed to accommodate building tolerances and movement

Testing

TEclad systems meet the most severe performance categories of the Center for Window and Cladding Technology (CWCT) and have been independently tested by Wintech Engineering Ltd., a fully accredited test laboratory. Eclad systems have achieved ‘CE’ marking status as defined by Federation of European Window and Curtain Walling Manufacturers’ Association (FAECF) and are compliant with all relevant standards throughout the European Union Member States, including thermal and acoustic values.

Performance

A certified test report by an UKAS accredited testing agency is available, indicating that the system has been tested in accordance with the CWCT Standard Test Methods for Building Envelopes - December 2005 to the following minimum performance criteria:

Air Permeability
Should not exceed 1.5M3/H per M2 of fixed area at a peak test pressure of 12.53 psf when tested in accordance with BS EN 12152: 2202.
Water Penetration
There shall be no water ingress when tested in accordance with BS EN 12154: 1999 at a peak test pressure of 12.53 psf.

Wind Resistance
For design, deflection should not exceed 1/175 of span when subjected to negative and positive loading in accordance with the specified design wind pressure. For safety, residual deformation shall not exceed 3mm when subjected to negative and positive loading of 150% of the specified design wind pressure.

Impact Testing
A soft body impactor in accordance with BS EN 12600: 2002 is dropped from varying heights until the stone panel breaks. On breakage, the stone panel must not be dislodged from the stone support system.

Thermal Transmittance
Meets the requirements of part L2 of the Building Regulations 0.35W/m2/K when calculated in accordance with BS EN ISO 10077-2:2003 (improved values available).
