At Alpha Clad, we are frequently amazed where the main structural design concerns have
been applied purely to the load bearing capacity of the external profile.
How many contracts have you been involved in where requests have been made for load span tables for the
cladding product, but no information has been sought for structural suitability of the spacer system or connections?
We should all add more focus to the fasteners as they are actually some of the most vulnerable points!
If inadequately fixed with too few or incorrectly specified cladding fasteners the structural integrity of the sheet/panel
is irrelevant – the product will not be able to resist the design loadings. Combine this with incorrect seals, poor
installation and junction detailing, a perfectly adequate cladding product will almost certainly fail.
At Alpha Clad we understand the importance of using ancillaries that combine ease of use with good performance.
Our specially developed portfolio ensures we can supply all your fixing and accessory needs, covering items such
as:
•
Carbon steel / stainless steel self drilling fasteners
•
Carbon steel / stainless steel self tapping fasteners
•
Specialist rivets
•
Grade A butyl tape sealants
•
Specialist gun grade sealants
•
Profiled filler blocks to suit all profiles within the industry
•

•

•
EPDM Pipe penetration flashings
•
Vapour barrier and breather membranes (where necessary)
