According to Metalline, it is the first UK cladding manufacturer to offer both non-combustible aluminium rainscreen and non-combustible aluminium insulated spandrel panels, all fully tested and certified to Class A1 rating.
The company’s Ultima Insulated Spandrel panel range and its Unity Rainscreen System have been independently tested to EN 13501-1 2018 and achieved both A1 and A2 – s1,d0 classification.
This certification makes Metalline the UK’s first and only manufacturer to offer both a rainscreen and insulated spandrel panel that has achieved A1 certification.
The Building (Amendment) Regulations, SI 2018/1230 came into force on 21 December, 2018, implementing the promised ban on combustible cladding by prohibiting the use of combustible materials anywhere in the external walls of high-rise buildings over 18m above ground level, containing one or more dwellings.
Metalline’s process of continued research and development, which has led to an industry first, now means it is a one-stop-shop for both rainscreen and insulated spandrel panels for both newbuild projects and replacement non-compliant cladding.
