CPD
Rainscreen Cladding Systems: Safety, Compliance and Best Practice
As façade design becomes more complex, the need for clear, reliable technical guidance has never been greater. This industry focused CPD provides a structured overview of rainscreen cladding systems, focusing on safety, compliance, performance and sustainability.
Certified by The CPD Certification Service, the session delivers practical, relevant knowledge regarding rainscreen cladding systems you can apply to real projects.
Each in depth training can be delivered face to face or online, via Microsoft Teams.
“Understanding testing standards is not optional. It is fundamental to specifying facades with confidence.”
What makes this CPD different?
This isn’t a product presentation. It’s a system-led approach to understanding how facades perform.
- System first thinking – understand how complete facade systems perform, not just individual components
- Real project insight – based on hands-on experience across multiple sectors
- Tested and proven – backed by real testing data and proven system performance
- Delivered by rainscreen specialists – led by experienced facade professionals, not sales-led content
- Aligned with regulations – supporting Gateway processes, fire compliance and evolving standards
We call this “Details at Scale” – applying deep technical knowledge across every stage
By the end of the session, you will be able to:
- Specify rainscreen systems with greater confidence and clarity
- Understand how different system types perform and where they are best applied
- Navigate fire safety requirements and compliance frameworks
- Interpret key testing standards, including BS 8414, EN 13501 and CWCT Sequence B
- Apply best practice in system design, detailing and installation
- Make more informed decisions around sustainability, materials and lifecycle performance
- Reduce risk at early design stages, including Gateway submissions
