Wall systems
What can a metal wall do for you?
Wall cladding systems can provide the main aesthetic for a building, as well as achieving many technical performance criteria and accommodating fire performance, resistance to moisture, detailing around fenestration and openings, acoustics, environmental concerns and the host of other technical properties commonly required. Walls have different performance criteria, generally speaking, from roof systems.
However, wall cladding systems also offer a wider range of choice, especially considering cost. It is therefore important to establish two important aspects before starting to specify a wall cladding system: what are the aesthetic requirements, what the performance criteria are and what the budget is.
Horizontally laid profiles
This is an aesthetically pleasing option, able to provide an attractive finish within a very reasonable cost. The selection of a Half Round, Sinusoidal or Trapezoidal profile sheet laid horizontally helps create an interesting façade, and can appear less 'industrial' in its appearance than a vertically laid profile. Note that when using a Trapezoidal profile, the color is applied to the broad face of the profile, giving a flatter appearance, with the shadow effect of the narrow corrugation helping to conceal the side lap detail and make fixings less obvious. It is essential when specifying horizontally laid profiles that the correct combination o materials and colors are selected- horizontally laid profiles are tolerance sensitive, and it is essential that our recommendations
are followed to ensure a good quality finish is achieved. Mitre corners are available for horizontal profiles.
Vertically laid profiles
This is the most straightforward and economic solution to a metal wall cladding system offering excellent technical performance whilst being quick and easy to install. Enhancement to achieve Firewalls for boundary wall conditions is usually very easily achieved, and the systems generally have good acoustic performance and excellent environmental credentials. Generally, a trapezoidal profile is selected for vertical applications; however it is also possible to use sinusoidal or half-round profiles. The color being applied to the broad face of a trapezoidal profile gives a flatter appearance and helps conceal the side lap detail and fixings.
Firewall options
Hanyi built up systems use non-combustible* insulation throughout, therefore it is generally easy to achieve a 4 hour fire wall construction in accordance with BS476 Part 22. For a vertically laid wall, using a stone wool cladding roll insulation, a 4 hour fire wall is achieved without requiring any additional components to the system (please refer to Hanyi Firewall brochure for exact requirements). It isimportant to remember that some modification of the supporting steelwork may be required.
