Etherington’s Castellation and Tested Rainscreen Cladding Systems

Etherington’s have been established over 60 years ago, we remain at the forefront of innovation and performance in terms of design and manufacture of architectural rainscreen façades.
We offer a fully tested range of rainscreen systems in an extensive choice of materials and finishes to help you bring your design to life.

One of our latest additions to our rainscreen systems is our Castellation System - CS.

A CWCT tested system that offers unlimited castellated design options.

• CSN - Castellation System Narrow
• CSW - Castellation System Wide
• CSV - Castellation System Varied
• CSS - Castellation System Step

Recently installed on Brunel Street Work one of the largest regeneration sites underway in London our Castellated (CS) systems were specified to add the finishing touches to these striking buildings positioned adjacent to Canning Town station.

All our rainscreen systems have been independently tested and accredited to the specific requirements of CWCT and come in an unrivalled choice of materials, colours and finishes to help you bring your design to life.

a2, s1, d0 classification

We recently tested a large format aluminium cladding panel with fire, wind and impact performance certification.

• 15 TO 40 YEARS PPC WARRANTY
• CLASS A2 FIRE PERFORMANCE
• LARGE FORMAT PANELS 4M x 1M
• IMPACT AND WIND RESISTANT

CWCT is a publisher of standards and guidance on corrosion, intrusion, fenestration, weather and fire resistance, acoustic and impact performance, of building envelopes, facades, cladding and glazing.

CWCT sequence B tests the Air-Permeability, watertightness, wind resistance, water penetration and impact resistance, ensuring the full system performs physically and the maintenance and servicing can be done safely.

EN 13501-1 standards

This is a European testing standard for building products, fire classification of construction products and building elements.

Building material are classified according to their contribution to a fire. Not only are fire properties considered, but also smoke emissions and the possible formation of burning drips.

The reaction to fire properties of powder coated aluminium are A2-S1, D0 which means it is classified as having no or negligible contribution to the fire. In addition, producing little or no smoke, and no burning droplets or particles.

Our state of the art production facility allows us to take on board specialist architectural metal work projects of any scale. We fabricate a wide range of external architectural systems including rainscreen cladding, roofline products, column casings, perforated panels and any bespoke fabrication.
