Rainspan
Rainspan uniquely blends the benefits of a
composite panel and the flexibility of varying aesthetic
rainscreens to provide greater freedom for architectural
expression.
Specifiers benefit from a large range of exciting
finishes, textures, colours and sizes, offering complete facade
solution and design flexibility.
- Combines the benefits of a composite panel and the flexibility
of varying aesthetic rainscreens
- Fully tested with comprehensive details to ensure top
performance for the life of the building
- Two hour fire resistance even in long span conditions of up to
7.5m
- Non-combustible stone wool core offers 'built in passive fire
protection' and in a fire incident emits minimal toxic smoke and
gases
- The ideal structural support for many rainscreen systems and
the long span capability of Rainspan can reduce secondary steelwork
and build cost
- Combines ease and speed of installation to create a weather
tight building envelope early on in the build programme
- The stone wool core at the heart of Rainspan is an excellent
thermal insulator and helps to reduce operational carbon
- Rainspan offers 'as tested' air tightness of
1m3/.hr/m2 - well in excess of
requirements in Building Regulations across the UK
- Low environmental impact, thermal performance and high recycled
material content will positively support BREEAM assessment
- The facade installation can be removed from the critical path
to simplify the construction process and help reduce costs
- The falt surface of Rainspan reduces the complexity of fixing
the support structure for the rainscreen facade
- NRG passive energy saving internal steel face
Rainspan is manufactured from Colorcoat® pre-finished steel by
Tata Steel made in the UK and certified to BES 6001 Responsible
Sourcing standard. Both Colorcoat Prisma® and Colorcoat HPS200
Ultra® surpass requirements of Ruv4 and RC5 as per EN 10169:2010
proving outstanding colour and gloss retention and corrosion
resistance. Rainspan is available with the NRG option which comes
with Colorcoat® High Reflect pre-finished steel by Tata Steel for
the internal steel face that can the improve daylight factor by 10%
and provides ≥ 85% reflectance, reducing the amount of energy
required.
