As the cladding industry continues to see a sustained upturn, the demands placed on manufacturers to create facades that meet competing requirements; sustainability, durability, flexibility, cost effectiveness and bold design, grow ever more-so. With margins still slim, for developers, the most important of these is probably price point, time is also an issue - how can on site construction be expedited? There are so many concerns for contractors and developers, which is why they are looking to bespoke solutions, new methods and innovative products to help deal with these challenges. FunderMax has recently introduced three key materials and systems that tick every box. Paul Hughes, Director for Sales UK, comments below:
Modulo. A lightweight, flexible fixing system...
‘Something we’ve noticed in recent years, particularly in the UK, is the increasing preference for lightweight and flexible construction design. We have our fair share of problems when it comes to the weather here in Britain, so developers need to know they can rely on systems and materials that can endure whatever the great British climate has to throw at it. Our innovative new fixing product allows for flexible construction design, and as it comes with prefabricated standard elements it makes life much easier on site. A versatile wooden or aluminium sub structure adds even more flexibility.’
Prefabricated lap siding FunderMax Exterior Scaleo
‘Again, super robust, this contemporary facade is perfect for public sector builds. It offers a distinctive, modern finish, while providing extremely durable properties. It’s also a really cost effective solution. When combined with a straightforward mounting system such as Modulo it becomes a truly super system offering all of the qualities of our time tested Max Exterior products.’
Ultimate fire performance. Ultimate expression. Max Exterior m.look.
‘This is a product we’re really excited about at the minute - m.look blends the best in style with superior fire performance. This impressive high pressure laminate has a fire classification of A2-s1, d0 according to EN 13501-1, and offers advanced durability. What’s more, it can be used on builds in excess of 30m, making it versatile, and again it ticks that all important price point box too. With the introduction of these 3 new products we’re continuing to challenge the market and meet the demands of developers. FunderMax’s product range has entered a whole new realm in my opinion.’
A note on sustainability
As a company FunderMax is totally committed to the environment. As such sustainability is at the heart of all our business processes - going far beyond legal requirements.
