Euroclad Provides All Round Solution

A striking finish has been created for Dundee University Institute of Sport and Exercise using Euroclad's LINEAR façade system which offers incredible design flexibility.

The project has been under development for several years and the latest edition is the 'Drum', an elliptical extension which unusually houses rectangular studios. The shape was designed to accommodate the escape stairs situated at each end of the building and forms the front of the campus establishing the buildings identity.

Euroclad's LINEAR rainscreen cladding was specified for this project as it allowed the building designer and contractor complete design freedom. The system is made up of a series of cassette panels that are fixed to the vertical support rails, making the installation straight forward. LINEAR systems utilise metal composite materials, including aluminium, which offer superior flatness and excellent rigidity. Systems can be installed in wet and dry jointed variations.

Ron McHoul, Project Architect at Nicoll Russell Studios comments; 'After much research we specified a product which could meet our requirements in terms of panel size and 'one piece' panelling, the cladding by Euroclad was selected as both aesthetically pleasing and meeting our technical requirements.'

Euroclad's LINEAR Façade Systems offer superior build speed and convenience, and are available in a range of metals, colours and patterns. Bespoke systems in any metals are also available and are manufactured using sophisticated computer controlled technology, allowing Euroclad to produce almost anything that can be drawn. LINEAR panels are available in any module size up to 1475mm x 6000mm. For further information please visit www.euroclad-facades.co.uk
