Cladding

Enhanced protection, guaranteed sustainability. 

Improve the resilience and thermal performance of new and existing structures while maximizing aesthetics. Acting as protective coats, these ultra-resistant exterior panels safeguard facades from thermal variations, fire and impact whilst enhancing their appearance.

Ductal® High Performance Concrete cladding panels combine the best aspects of industrially manufactured elements with the versatility of an infinitely moldable material.

Our thin, light, and sizable panels can be assembled horizontally or vertically (to cover an entire storey height up to four meters), and complemented with custom geometries and one-piece corners upon request. We can also produce the smaller-sized panels.

Elements are installed on site according to standard rainscreen cladding principles for quicker uptake on a variety of new construction or refurbishment projects, on their own or combined with other materials. We count with the local needed certifications constructive systems.

With fewer and wider fixing points, the exceptional performance of Ductal® reduces installation time, translating into substantial cost savings.

01 - Flexibility

The generous surface area and invisible fastening system of Ductal® cladding panels combine with the material’s inherent thinness and strength to provide greater freedom in design – all while minimizing construction joints.

Ductal®’s self-consolidating qualities and finely grained texture replicates mold materials with precision, resulting in high quality surface finishes (both smooth and textured panels, including bush hammered, brushed, and more) that fully embody the mineral nature and authenticity of concrete.

Pigments can be stirred directly into the mixture, allowing for a wider range of color that can be further customized.

02 - Aesthetics

The material’s heightened mechanical performance infuses the precast panels with exceptional strength and impact resistance. Customized constructive designs can be retained for the stringent impact-proofing requirements of ground-floor applications.

Ductal® 's supremely low porosity provides resistance to abrasion, carbonation, penetration of chloride ions, freezing and thawing. This also results in surfaces and walls that are easy to clean, while adjunct treatments can be applied to add water repellency and anti-graffiti protection.

And when panels do get damaged, they can easily be replaced, further extending your building’s life cycle.

03 - Durability

Ductal® cladding panels can be used as a standalone External Thermal Insulation solution on a variety of building projects:

  • Residential
  • Hospitality
  • Educational
  • Healthcare
  • Commercial/offices
  • Cultural
  • Tall buildings

Their lightweight composition allows them to be installed on concrete, masonry and wooden frameworks, either as a first application or – just like on other types of building substructure – as replacement cladding.

04 - Applications

Several different designs are available, providing you with a range of colors, textures and geometries that retain the authentic mineral look of concrete rainscreen cladding.

05 - Color and texture palette

Ductal® Cladding Solution for this vacant grocery store, near Chicago, transformed into a modern behavioral health services facility, the Rosecrance Ware Center: with a terracotta finish.

The thin, lightweight Ductal® sandwich cladding panels met the project team’s requirements in order to contribute to the building’s energy efficiency. The panels also met requirements for aesthetics, cost and sustainability.

According to the architects, Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg (KPMB), the new building design is a direct expression of Rotman's core mission to promote creativity, innovation, and integrative thinking in 21st century business education. The overall concept advances the school's long-term sustainability and business strategy, and will meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver requirements.

The facade of the new office building housing Platform Basket S.R.L in Poviglio, Italy is decked out in Ductal®.

For this project, the three important aspects were aesthetics, durability and longevity with a jobsite localisation in the earth of Paris.

Designed by Architecture Studio, this new building is a major part of École Spéciale des Travaux Publics (ESTP’s) new dynamic.

Built in the 1990s, the 70,000 m2 building was clad with a stone whose durability had deteriorated over time. The renovation of the building also allowed a thermal optimization of the facade.

The complex brings together the Health Professions Training Institute (IFPS) and the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy. The project includes three 250-seat amphitheatres, practical work rooms, and accommodates up to 2,500 students and staff.

The project is part of the development of a new district in Geneva, the largest private real estate project in Switzerland. This real estate project covers 11 hectares and provides for the construction of 280,000 m2 of gross floor area on 26 buildings.

Inaugurated in September 2014, the new Porte de Vanves student residence boasts 67 accommodation units in a bow-shaped building that meets the architectural constraints of a small, triangular building plot.

The emblematic Tour Cèdre in la Défense – Paris business district- will have a brand new renovated cladding in 2021 thanks to the application of Ductal® Cladding and Ductal® Envelope.

Economic heart of the West, Oran is the second most populous city in Algeria and has few large shopping centers.
