rainscreen cladding: Introducing the full Optima range

Sotech design, engineer and manufacture the Optima range of rainscreen cladding systems.

From secret-fix hook on rainscreen cladding solutions to bespoke extrusion tailored to meet your design, Sotech works closely with architects, specifiers, fire consultants, main contractors and installers to specify the most suitable rainscreen cladding solution.

Our full range of rainscreen cladding solutions:

Our expert team can provide cutting edge advice on the most suitable rainscreen cladding system, material and finish for the project, as well as fire safety, design and production. Contact us here to discuss your rainscreen cladding requirements >>

Each system has been witnessed and certified by CWCT for wind serviceability and safety, air permeability, water penetration and soft body impact. The most recent tests for the Optima FC+ Rainscreen Cladding, Optima TFC+ Rainscreen Cladding and Optima Edge Rainscreen Cladding also include hard body impact testing.

Sotech has also completed a range of full scale fire tests on its core rainscreen cladding systems, successfully fire testing to BS8414-2 and gained BR135 classification and can therefore offer true A1 fire tested rainscreen cladding systems.

This test provides a test method for determining the fire performance characteristics of non-loadbearing external rainscreen cladding systems, fixed to and supported by a structural steel frame when exposed to an external fire under controlled conditions.

Any deviations or product substitutions from that which was tested are strictly subject to BS 9414.
