Alumasc’s New Ventilated Facade Solution For Timber Framed Buildings

Alumasc has developed a new, innovative facade solution for the timber frame industry.

The Alumasc Ventilated System offers an alternative approach to traditional build, particularly for new build timber framed housing. It provides an engineered, stylish facade solution, with the option of utilising modern off-site construction techniques.

The system is designed to provide a fully ventilated cavity, which keeps the timber substrate moisturefree, and is compatible with both render and brick slip finishes. The Panmure Street development in Glasgow demonstrates the benefits and versatility of using the Alumasc Ventilated System. On this scheme a closed panel, fully off-site manufactured solution was delivered, with only a small element of external on-site fabric work required – meaning the usual challenges such as transport logistics, site access problems and weather, did not impact on the project. Alumasc’s lightweight acrylic brick slips were used as the final finish, and are able to replicate any brick in the marketplace.

The Alumasc Ventilated System has been rigorously tested, resulting in compliance with all UK building regulations (Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales) and it became British Board of Agrément certified in May 2015. It also adheres to the requirements and guidelines of both the NHBC and TRADA.
