How to Specify a Rainscreen Support System (Correctly)

Specifying the wrong rainscreen support system can have far reaching consequences. These can range from the inconvenient, such as a system that is difficult to install, to the catastrophic, resulting in total rainscreen support system failure. Such a failure would not only put the safety of the public at risk but could have a huge financial and reputational impact on your business.

Getting your specification right first time is therefore vitally important to ensuring you can not only complete your rainscreen project on time and on budget but rest assured that it is structurally sound.

This can be easier said than done. To select the optimum rainscreen support system you need to combine a wealth of information about the building, its location, substrate and the chosen rainscreen build-up, with complex wind load and substrate calculations. But don’t worry, our in-house technical team is on-hand to support you with this and help de-risk your project.

With this in mind, we’ve put together a handy checklist for specifying rainscreen support systems. This outlines all the information our technical team will need about your proposed project to help us configure the optimal rainscreen support system for you.

This checklist for specifying rainscreen support systems can be used whether you’re looking for a quote or are ready to place your order – but remember the earlier you involve our technical team, the more we can help.
