New Brochure Aims to Improve Screen Presence

February 6, 2012

StrataScreen Brochure

We have just launched a new brochure highlighting the Stratascreen® individually engineered façade system.

The brochure is a component of The Works, our new design, specification and construction manual.

It fully describes Stratascreen® System’s recessed-edge, flat modular rainscreen panels and suggests architectural wall solution options, using isometric diagrams and project images/case studies. There is also a comprehensive details section, together with span/load and materials data for ease of specification.

Manufactured in bespoke panel sizes, Stratascreen® System is available in a choice of pre-finished steel and natural metal finishes.

Stratascreen® System offers flexible integration with windows, curtain walling and louvres. The system is equally suited to both new build and refurbishment.

Utilising Colorcoat Prisma® pre-finished steel in a variety of contemporary colours which include solids, metallics and natural matt shades, it provides the sophisticated look of a traditional rainscreen with superior performance, backed by the unique Confidex® guarantee.

Stratascreen® System is available with the Platinum® System Guarantee, offering clients peace of mind for up to 25 years.

Building Envelope Case Study: Hawarden Business Park, Flintshire

July 26, 2011

Two commercial units at the Hawarden Business Park in Flintshire are a veritable showcase of building envelope products from Panels and Profiles.

Buildings 2 and 3 both feature a mixture of Trisobuild System built-up construction, using four different profile types, and Trimapanel® System, the architectural wall panel system.

Situated six miles west of Chester city centre and within two miles of the A55, Hawarden Business Park is being developed through a partnership between Welsh Assembly Government and UK Land & Property and Pochins.

It is one of the Welsh Assembly Government’s most important strategic employment sites in North Wales. Located on the edge of Hawarden Airport and close to the Airbus UK factory at Broughton, the business park extends to 40.5 acres, with planning consent for considerable further expansion.

This masterplanned development can accommodate individual buildings up to 23,225m2 on fully serviced plots set within a landscaped environment and linked by all-new site infrastructure.

The Park’s buildings enjoy a BREEAM Very Good environmental assessment rating and are all equipped with a cutting-edge fibre-optic network. Another key element is the pristine appearance of the external envelopes of each unit, reflecting the high-tech nature of the surrounding area.

Lester Fabrications & Cladding were tasked with constructing the building envelopes for Plots 2 and 3, which needed to precisely match the aesthetics of existing surrounding units.

Lester Fabrications & Cladding responded to the challenge by selecting a wide range of Panels and Profiles products, deploying a combination of the Trisobuild System built-up system and the Trimapanel® System insulated panel system.

On the roofs, an insulated Trisobuild System built-up solution featured 3700m2 of R32 external weathering profile in Colorcoat Verso® 0.7mm in Goosewing Grey and 3700m2 of RL32 internal liner profile, in a white polyester finish, in tough 0.7mm gauge to safely accommodate roof traffic during the installation phase.

Colorcoat Verso® offers a superior alternative to leathergrain plastisol finishes. It uses a unique coating formulation and is supported by a guarantee for up to 30 years, providing improved performance at a competitive price. It is manufactured with a unique and subtle “C” emboss, providing instant visual reassurance that the product has been manufactured in the UK by Panels and Profiles.

The walls feature 2,300m2 of C32 profile in Colorcoat Prisma® 0.7mm in Oyster, plus 550m2 of 13.5/3 profile in Colorcoat Prisma® 0.7mm in Metallic Silver, for an attractive colour and profile contrast.

Further visual interest is added by the incorporation of 1000m2 of 70mm thick Trimapanel® System insulated architectural wall panel system in Colorcoat Prisma® in Alaska Grey.

The Trimapanel® System specification at Hawarden Business Park included mitred corner panels for exceptionally crisp corner detailing.

Trimapanel® System achieves the very highest levels of flatness, thermal and environmental performance, airtightness and structural capabilities.

Entirely manufactured in the UK utilising Colorcoat® materials for a minimised carbon footprint, Trimapanel® System provides the ultimate package of durability, fire performance, superior aesthetics, design
flexibility and outstanding environmental credentials.

Carrying full LPCB and FM fire performance approval, the system’s secret-fix joint design facilitates a quick, easy to install option for both horizontal and vertical cladding, with weather tightness far surpassing the requirements of BS EN 12865.

Trimapanel® System comprises a pre-finished steel liner profile, a Zero-ODP polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation core and a micro-rib Colorcoat® pre-finished steel external weathering profile.

Colorcoat Prisma® was used exclusively on the walls of Buildings 2 and 3. Versatile, lightweight and strong, it is an ideal choice for contemporary, long lasting colour.

Offering outstanding UV resistance, Colorcoat Prisma® gives first-class colour and gloss retention, following comprehensive natural weathering testing in a variety of contrasting climates.

The complete colour range of Colorcoat Prisma® has been classed as Ruv4 in accordance with EN 10169:2010, the highest classification available, providing reassurance that buildings will retain their true colour for longer.


Panels and Profiles launches enhanced Trimapanel® System

March 10, 2011

Trimapanel® System, the insulated micro-rib architectural wall panel system has just been extensively re-engineered to achieve the very highest levels of flatness, thermal and environmental performance, airtightness and structural capabilities.

Entirely manufactured in the UK utlilising Colorcoat® materials sourced from Colors, Shotton for a minimised carbon footprint, Trimapanel® System now provides the ultimate package of durability, fire performance, superior aesthetics, design flexibility and outstanding environmental credentials.

Carrying full LPCB and FM fire performance approval, the system’s secret-fix joint design facilitates a quick, easy to install option for both horizontal and vertical cladding, with weather tightness far surpassing the requirements of BS EN 12865.

Trimapanel® System comprises of a pre-finished steel liner profile, a Zero-ODP polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation core and a micro-rib Colorcoat® pre-finished steel external weathering profile. It can be specified in a wide range of colours, in Colorcoat HPS 200 Ultra® and Colorcoat Prisma® pre-finished steel as standard.

The system is available with the unique Platinum System Warranty, combined with Confidex® and Confidex Sustain® guarantees for a CarbonNeutral solution, providing unrivalled peace of mind for up to 40 years.

Trimapanel® System is manufactured using responsible sourcing and traceability of all component materials. All steel elements are produced within the UK through our production, strip processing, galvanising, coating and profiling facilities. The system’s carbon footprint is further minimised by the manufacturing process being situated adjacent to the Colorcoat® and galvanising lines.

Available in three cover widths, Trimapanel® System is an ideal partner for the Trisomet® 333 System insulated panel, providing a comprehensive single-source roof and wall cladding solution, all covered by the unique Platinum warranty.

The system also includes a wide range of flashings, ancillaries, an integrated window system, and fabricated corner and curved panel options. Primary fasteners for securing the Trimapanel® System to structural steel have been purpose-designed to provide high speed fixing and structural security with reduced risk of over compression, along with minimal thermal bridging.

All Trimapanel® System steel elements are 100% recyclable. The insulation and steel can be separated using existing shredder plants after which the materials can be recovered or recycled.

In common with all our building envelope solutions, Trimapanel® System offers a full technical support service, including extensive design assistance, both online and in the field.
