Rainscreen cladding and fire performance testing
n the UK and around the world, there has been an increased focus towards the importance of testing systems, since the tragic events of the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire .
This is why AGS System places safety as a number one priority above all else, and perform stringent testing of all our products, to ensure they not only meet all safety standards set by government safety standards but excel above all of our competitors in fire prevention and safety.
As you can see by the fire test video , we perform a wide range of tests, simulation height of the , the weight load, airflow, thermal properties, fire resistance, the structural integrity of all components and more,
After a 60 minute simulation of a highrise fire, the results were clear, AGS System provides the best for fire safety.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions regarding AGS Rainscreen Cladding
What is a rainscreen cladding system and what are the advantages?
A is a type of for walls which aside from aesthetic benefits, has the feature of being able to protect the from the elements.

It is a that has a lot of benefits. The first one is that it allows the to breathe (airflow). This means that it will allow for the in the indoors to get out, so that it does not accumulate. This is the best way to ensure that the space is not humid. The second benefit is that it insulates the cold. This is especially important in areas where the temperature drops drastically during the winter. Thus, it will allow the to be protected from heat energy loss.
What types of rainscreen cladding are there?
There are many types of systems and many ways to describe them. The two most commonly used terms are rainscreen and ventilated . The most important part of a is the exterior surface that keeps the elements out and the interior dry.
What is a rainscreen cladding system?
A rainscreen cladding system is a type of which is designed to protect the and structural sheathing of a from the weather. The works by providing a space between the and the exterior . This space is filled with an air and impermeable membrane. The membrane is then back-ventilated to allow for the flow of air through the and to drain away from the , making for an excellent system. The AGS System is made of high performance, lightweight, non-combustible, and non-corrosive materials that have been designed for easy installation and superior durability.
What types of rainscreen cladding systems are there?
There are three main types of rainscreen external / cladding systems – these are:
Vented drained cladding
Vented cladding
Pressure equalised cladding
Why choose AGS rain-screen cladding products?
Bad façade can occur substantial energy loss in private homes and other structures. On the contrary, the favours energy conserving and lowers energy losses thanks to its on the outside façade of the structure.
When integrating the rain-screen with an outside system, we provide the structure with wide variety of advantages and benefits, including a major boost of thermal and acoustic performance.
What materials can be used as rainscreen cladding?
Siding, or cladding, is a great way to finish the exterior of a building. It can hide structure deficiencies, correct uneven wall elevations and add an attractive, durable finish to the exterior. The most common type of siding is aluminium.
Aluminium is a great material because it is lightweight, long lasting and easy to install.
Steel, vinyl, brick and stone are also popular, long-lasting alternatives.

What is a rainscreen cladding system?
A rainscreen cladding system is a construction method that uses moisture-impermeable cladding to create an airtight enclosure around a building’s exterior. The cladding typically includes a continuous layer of water-repellent and airtight building materials, such as polyethylene or a metal.
How to install a rainscreen cladding support system
The following is the step-by-step guide on how to install a rainscreen cladding support system:
1. Determine the approximate location of your building’s outer wall and the location of the window or door that will be installed as your entry point.
2. Determine the type(s) of cladding and/or rainscreen you plan on installing around your window or door.
A support system is installed on the outside of the building. The supports are made of metal or a material that can withstand the weather elements.
What are the pros of rainscreen cladding?
The cladding material is kept dry and protected from the elements
The cladding material is kept dry and protected from the elements. The system creates a new layer of protection between the building and its exterior, which is essential for protecting the building.
Thermal and acoustic insulation is improved
Rainscreen cladding systems have many benefits. Not only are they more efficient than roofs, but they also provide thermal and acoustic insulation.
Low initial investment and energy efficiency make the product worth it
The product is a low-cost, efficient option in the market. The initial investment is lower and the energy efficiency makes it more desirable to some people.
The rain screen cladding system provides better control of the heating and cooling
The rain screen cladding system provides better control of the heating and cooling. It is also important to consider your roofing materials and how they will react to the rain.
What are the cons of rainscreen cladding?
The only negative of rain-screen cladding is the initial investment, which is recouped over time from savings in energy.
What are some types of rainscreen cladding systems?
There are a variety of types of rainscreen cladding systems, such as aluminum cladding, copper-clad steel and fiberglass.
How to find the best rain screen cladding company in England?
Now that the structure and functioning of the rainscreen cladding system is clear, it is important to mention the main advantages of installing a rainscreen cladding system in buildings and private homes. Extends the facade’s lifetime The constant ventilation inside the air cavity improves the durability of the exterior cladding material , since it keeps it dry. The facade’s lifetime is even longer when using a durable and resistant material like natural slate. Improves thermal and acoustic insulation The insulation layer is optional, but when we combine it with the rainscreen cladding system, the thermal and acoustic insulation of the building improves significantly . Increases energy efficiency The rainscreen cladding makes cooling the building easier during summer and provides a better control of the heating during winter, favouring both thermal comfort and energy saving . Thanks to the rainscreen cladding system, energy bills can be reduced between 30 and 40%. Requires virtually no maintenance Rainscreen cladding systems require almost zero maintenance , specially if you choose a cladding material that withstands adverse weather conditions like a high-quality natural slate. Adds value to the building or home The extra initial investment is recovered thanks to the durability, energy efficiency and low maintenance cost of the facade. It is a stand for a sustainable future that allows, at the same time, reducing your heating bills and increasing your home’s thermal comfort.
