ENVIRONMENT

Vulcan Windows and Vulcan Aluminium are committed to achieving ISO:14001 Environmental Management Systems.

Rainscreen cladding eliminates thermal bridging (caused by interrupting floor levels) and minimizes temperature fluctuations within the building.

The outer layer breathes like a skin while the inner layer reduces energy losses. The structural frame of the building is kept absolutely dry, as water never reaches it or the thermal insulation.

WEATHER

It is installed to the outside of a building as an outer ‘skin’ to ensure the longevity of the building and keep the elements at bay. It is designed to work with nature rather than against it.

The lightweight panels and joints are specially designed so that they deflect most rainwater and he vented cavity between the main structure and Rainscreen Panels also eliminates the remainder of the moisture by natural evaporation.
