Panels and Profiles
Wall Upgrade
This section considers the option of retaining the existing wall covering and introducing a thermal improvement and new external covering. This could be an upgrade to a non-insulated single skin wall or an existing brick or block construction
| Solution 1: Single profile over clad system The system uses a Platinum approved spacer support system  attached over the existing sheeting and fixed into the existing rail to provide an insulation space with minimal cold bridging. A new insulation layer is added to provide the designed U-value. Finally, the Colorcoat® pre-finished steel external weathering profile is fixed to the new spacer bar. Dependant on the existing support structure the orientation of the new external sheet could either be horizontal or vertical.Both the U-value calculations and the fire risk analysis can be undertaken by the Tata Steel technical department. |
| Solution 2: Rainscreen system The Tata Steel rainscreen system can be used to refurbish or reface  conventional brick, stone or concrete walls or existing rainscreen systems. The two main options are to fixed to a new supporting structure attached to the existing walls, or alternatively, the Tata Steel StrataScreen rainscreen system can be fabricated to a size that will suit the existing supporting steel work once the old rainscreen panels are removed. The Tata Steel StrataScreen system provides an architectural aesthetic and offers exceptional flatness and design flexibility. |
