With the launch of the latest Valspar paint campaign, people are becoming inspired by colour.
Equally RCM are on a mission to bring some brilliance back into our lives with their striking Cladcolour facades range.
These remarkable facades are available in a comprehensive pallet range and can be supplied in any standard RAL colour - allowing contractors, architects and developers to bring their buildings to life.
Design is not all about functionality - however there are many practical and building regulatory factors to consider when specifying the right system for the job. Key features to look for include implications for thermal performance, fire safety, weather resistance and life expectancy, as well as cost efficiency and aesthetic appeal.
Cladcolour is a cost effective cladding solution that is suitable for a range of applications including facia and soffits, rainscreen cladding balconies, infill panels and all other areas where a prefinished panel is required for the design of the build. Cladcolour can be fixed with screws - making it an extremely economical method of installation when fixing onto timber or aluminium support framing. This facade has a density of 1330-1420kg/m3 and offers thermal conductivity of 0.30w/mk.
Cladcolour also benefits from an A1 Non-Combustible Fire Rating and a Five Star Frost Resistance. Additionally, Cladcolour is highly resistant to fungus and termite attacks and has a 30 year life expectancy. RCM offer a full optimisation service together with full fabrication capabilities.
