Kalzip FC rainscreen system helps to regenerate the Stephenson Quarter, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Regeneration Wed, Jun 21, 2017 1:50 PM

KALZIP FC RAINSCREEN IS A NON-PENETRATIVE FAÇADE SYSTEM THAT INCORPORATES A FAST-TO-INSTALL

LIGHTWEIGHT FLAT RAINSCREEN PANEL, SUITABLE FOR BOTH NEW BUILD AND REFURBISHMENT PROJECTS.

In creating this new mixed use development, the Clouston Group and its team needed to conserve and convert important listed buildings and construct sensitively designed new ones to accommodate a range of businesses. The project team were seeking systems that could offer both a striking visual appearance and very high technical performance standards, combined with consistent economic benefits.

Specialist Teamkal installer, Chemplas demonstrated that the Kalzip products considered would meet the wide range of technical as well as aesthetic requirements and during the first phase of the work over 1,800m2 of Kalzip FC rainscreen system were installed on the elevation to The Rocket and also on the new Crowne Plaza Hotel.

Additionally a further 1,070m2 of Kalzip perforated façade was also installed on the Stephenson Quarter multi storey car park.

The fact that both Kalzip products have been developed as fully integrated product offerings, backed by comprehensive design detailing and an integrated supply chain, helped ensure that the three phases to the work were carried out smoothly and successfully: on time and within budget.

The main feature of the Kalzip FC rainscreen system is its flexibility which allows the installation of the profiles to be carried out in two directions, either from the top down or from the bottom up. This innovative design also allows individual sheets to be removed and installed without compromising adjoining panels or the overall integrity of the system.
