Project:
Office Development, Newcastle
Architect: Ryder HKS
The Architect
Systems chose the CGL Wallplank system (horizontal style) for this new
office development and selected the option of precoated aluminium as
the material and finish of choice. Plank heights and widths were fabricated
to meet project requirements and interface details were taken from the
standard details provided by CGL.
CGL
Wallplank System
GENERAL
DESCRIPTION 
The system comprises prepainted aluminium, copper or zinc, planks which
are secret fixed to the CGL CS1 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.
WALLPLANK
MATERIALS
Available in lengths up to 4000mm and heights from 170 to 330mm, the
wallplanks are available in the following materials, in guages of 1.0
+ 1.2mm
- PVdF
precoated aluminium
- Prepatinated
copper
- Preweathered
zinc
- Copper
Alloys (Brass + Bronze)
CGL CS1
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 is unequalled in this market. All materials
are aluminium and stainless steel.
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. Copper and zinc are maintenance-free and will continue to
patinate over many years with an expected life in excess of 60 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.
