Why choose aluminium rainscreen cladding?
The material protects itself with its oxide skin and material guarantees for our range of aluminium cladding and aluminium façades are available upon request.
When the material is equipped with a protective layer (anodised layer or polyester powder coating) it is resistant against all kinds of weather.
The aluminium rainscreen material is 99.9% recyclable and we use only 15% of the energy used in the original manufacture to recycle the product.

Don’t take our word for it…
From the very start Sotech’s guidance on material selection, setting parameters and assistance with detailing helped to achieve the design intent while meeting all the standards of the Centre for Window and Cladding Technology.
Not only were we impressed with the accuracy of the system but Sotech’s approach to sub-structure and building tolerances were invaluable on a project where panel alignment, both horizontally and vert ically, was critical.
Together with the installer and the envelope specialist Lakesmere, Sotech certainly delivered on its promise of creating a cladding package that looks fantastic and will stand the test of time.”

They have a determination to follow architectural detail whilst providing robust and proven solutions that also look fantastic.”

One of the keys to the success of the project was the early introduction of the best subcontractors available to us in the market. Those who we knew could deliver the Client and Design Team’s aspirations, provide us with excellent technical support and rigorous commercial advice.
As ever the development, design and procurement process was exceptionally well managed and efficiently and sensitively delivered through each work stage, to completion and beyond.
