Building envelope specialist, CA Group Limited, has announced that its Prime V Rainscreen has been successfully installed on the ‘Gateway Project’, a state-of-the-art building set to transform the entrance to the University of Salford.
The company manufactured and supplied its secret fix rainscreen, which has been incorporated into the soffit of the entrance. This is the first time that this particular rainscreen solution has been used in an application of this kind.
Prime V Rainscreen, which is based on a cassette panel mechanism that interlocks at the uppermost edge to conceal the fixings, was selected due to its aesthetic qualities that met the architect’s specification of a fix-free finish.
Chris Priestley, Rainscreen Systems Manager at CA Group, commented: “The project team worked closely to come up with a suitable design which was both fit for purpose and provided the high quality, seamless finish that the client was looking to achieve. Prime V allows the designer the flexibility to create traditional or unconventional aesthetics using a broad range of metals, colours and finishes, supported by a coating guarantee on the painted finishes.”
All products within the Prime range are manufactured at CA Group’s Evenwood headquarters in County Durham and are fully CWCT tested for weather performance, air leakage and environmental impact.
The main contractor on the project was BAM Construction.
