Rainscreen cladding

Rainscreen cladding offers designers and engineers a wealth of options in new build and renovation projects. The CPD Providers featured below are at the top of their game, and at the leading edge of rainscreen technological innovation.
Seminar, by Sorba UK Ltd
This Seminar aims to educate and inform the audience on the design parameters, material and applications, of metal rainscreen façade solutions, primarily in an external environment. The presentation covers such issues as design considerations within metal rainscreen, the specification standards, material finishes and capabilities, cost influences, project planning and applications.

Sorba provides an external envelope solution which covers all aspects of façade design, manufacture and installation of metal rainscreen and associated systems, within both the external and internal sectors. Sorba also has vast experience and technical knowledge of using other façade materials, from concrete through to glass, and therefore can offer a wide range of material pallets throughout the design process.
