Project:
Croydon Centrale Shopping Centre, London
Architect:
John Clark Architects
Installer: Prater Ltd.
Approximately
15,000m2 of aluminium composite material (ACM) was incorporated into
the CGL Aluminium Rainscreen System in flat, curved, and louvred panels.
The colour, Aquarius Metallic, was specially developed for the project.
This building perfectly displays the suitability of ACM for exceptional
flatness and aesthetic appearance
CGL
Aluminium Rainscreen System
GENERAL
DESCRIPTION 
The system comprises ACM cassette panels which are secret fixed to the
CGL CS3 extruded aluminium hanging system. Being a rainscreen system,
this facade is ventilated and requires to be hung from a structural
internal wall which is air-impermeable, insulated, and acoustically
satisfactory. The cavity between the backing wall and rainscreen is
pressure equalised and thus inhibits the ingress of driven rain and
also allows any penetrating moisture to dry out naturally. All CGL systems
are independently tested and are compliant with the 'Standard for Ventilated
Facades' as produced by the Centre for Window and Cladding Technology
at Bath University.
PANELS
High quality ACM (aluminium composite material) is formed by laminating
2 aluminium skins, each 0.5mm thick to a 3mm thick thermoplastic core
to give an exceptionally flat panel material. The weather face is coil-coated
with PVdF finish 70/30 two coat system in a wide range of standard and
bespoke colours. Cladding panels are made by routing the panel back
at fold lines and folding into cassette format. CGL take responsibility
for designing the structural attachment and stiffening of the panels.
CGL CS3
SUPPORT SYSTEM
Rainscreen support system technology under the CGL brand gives the installer
total flexibility to produce a flat, modular facade to exceptional tolerances.
Essentially a vertical rail system with wall brackets, the design detail
built into the extrusions and tension cam connectors is unequalled in
this market. All materials are aluminium, stainless steel, and neoprene
compression gaskets.
MAINTENANCE
Generally, painted aluminium facades should be washed down annually
with clean water, a neutral cleaning agent, and a soft applicator. This
regime will assist in achieving the expected longevity in excess of
30 years.
WARRANTY
CGL Systems offers warranty over system design and performance for varying
periods dependent on location and material used, covering replacement
of defective product.
