Structural wall panels are designed for speed and efficiency, spanning from column to column without the need for secondary steelwork. This not only reduces the complexity of construction but also cuts down on programme time and cost. These panels typically offer enhanced fire resistance, integrity and insulation as standard. At the Lidl Distribution Centre in Newbridge, we installed structural composite panels that met strict deadlines and provided the durability and thermal performance essential for a high-traffic logistics facility.
Similar in concept to composite roofing systems, composite wall panels feature an insulated core between two metal sheets, creating a single, watertight and vapour-tight wall component. These panels are available in both steel and aluminium, with a wide range of profiles, colours and finishes to complement any design. Factory-sealed, weather-tested tongue-and-groove joints ensure maximum water tightness, while the system’s versatility allows for integrated doors, windows and louvres. We have delivered composite wall panel systems on projects such as Shepcote House in Sheffield, Beckton Chip in London and IKEA Croydon, each requiring careful coordination to meet design and performance standards.
Rainscreen cladding is a rear-ventilated, double-wall construction system designed to protect a building from the elements while enhancing its appearance. The outer skin shields the structure from rain and wind, while the inner layer provides insulation and airtightness. The ventilated cavity equalises air pressure, preventing water ingress and allowing any moisture to evaporate or drain away. At Hinchingbrooke Hospital, our rainscreen installation brought a contemporary edge to the building while ensuring long-term protection. The Kerry Group in London demonstrated our ability to deliver precision detailing on complex architectural designs.
