Case Study
Project:
Equinox House, Glasgow
Architect:
G. D. Lodge
Installer: Corus Building Systems
This development features 2500m2 of patterned stainless steel incorporated into the CGL Stainless Steel Rainscreen System. The panels are both landscape and portrait format in sizes up to 2500mm x 1000mm. Typically, stainless steel panels appear less flat as other metals due to reflectivity and stresses applied during the patterning process. However, the appearance remains attractive and is enhanced by the material's longevity.
CGL Stainless Steel Rainscreen System
GENERAL
DESCRIPTION 
The system comprises cassette panels, made from polished or patterned
stainless steel, 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.
STAINLESS
STEEL PANELS
The material is a structurally- strong sheeting in 1.5mm thickness.
The material is patterned in a factory process to a variety of alternative
finishes and patterns and can be processed to give a coloured effect
which will never fade. The colour effect is produced by inducing refracted
light via the pattern design. CGL has developed extensive expertise
in fabricating cassettes , cappings, curved details, and louvres from
this material and takes full responsibility for designing the structural
attachment and stiffening of the panels. Further information is available
from www.rimexmetals.com
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
The system is highly corrosion resistant due to the choice of grade
of stainless steel and aluminium. An annual wash-down with soapy water,
followed by a clean water rinse, will maintain the facade in perfect
condition for many decades.
WARRANTY
CGL Systems offers warranty over system design and performance for varying
periods dependent on location and material used, covering replacement
of defective product.
