High-power, fire-resistant outer cladding solution from Valcan, named VitraDual
In the realm of architectural design, the search for a cladding system that balances performance, aesthetics, and sustainability is a constant pursuit. Valcan's VitraDual aluminium cladding system emerges as a promising solution, offering a unique blend of strength, safety, and design flexibility.
Manufactured from marine-grade 5754 aluminium, VitraDual is classified A1 in accordance with BS EN 13501-1, ensuring it meets the highest fire performance standards. This non-combustible cladding system is not only ideal for high-rise and high-risk buildings but also offers an unlimited colour range, allowing architects to customise façade aesthetics flexibly.
The system's panels are coated with industry-leading PVDF Kynar 500 or FEVE paints, guaranteeing long-lasting colour retention and resistance to UV, salt spray, and pollutants. This durability, coupled with the panels' sleek, flat design, makes VitraDual a premium, non-combustible rainscreen solution for modern architectural facades.
VitraDual's lightweight yet structurally efficient design is one of its key advantages. A 2mm 5754 grade panel is strong enough to span greater distances than a thicker 3mm PPC coated 1050 grade aluminium panel, making it an ideal choice for modern facades.
Safety and regulatory compliance are paramount in building facades, and VitraDual delivers on both fronts. The system's compliance with rigorous performance standards is ensured by BBA, CWCT accreditation, and CCPI verification. The integrated VitraVerse system further simplifies the specification and installation process, ensuring full compliance with building regulations.
VitraDual's versatility extends beyond colour and design. Panels can be fabricated into various forms, including cassette panels, planks, standing seam effects, or flat sheets. They can also be perforated or curved, offering exceptional design flexibility.
The system's micro-porous surface repels dirt and allows easy cleaning, while its high impact-resistance and weatherproof properties ensure it can withstand harsh environments. Valcan offers the option to request a sample, book a consultation, or explore how VitraDual can be used in a design project.
With a warranty of up to 30 years, transferable upon application, and support for long-term confidence provided by Valcan, VitraDual is a reliable choice for contemporary architectural projects. Its ability to meet modern demands for both performance and appearance in building cladding makes it a compelling option for architects and designers seeking a sustainable, stylish, and high-performance solution.
