Introduction to the Generix Cladding System
Generix has evolved following extensive research and development by Realstone and their partners within the stone facades marketplace. The Generix Cladding System has recently passed the CWCT test for ventilated rainscreen systems, at Taylor Woodrow’s test facility at Leighton Buzzard.
The Generix system comprises of a series of façade tile options in different materials that can be selected by the designer and used in conjunction with a standard patented Techlever vertical aluminium rail and clip substructure.
Developments are calling for fast track construction techniques to enhance performance with regard to build time and programme. Clients are demanding reduced build time and weather tightness as a necessity to ensure that the schemes can be let as soon as possible.
Architects are choosing more and more varied façade treatments as an alternative to traditional products such as bricks and mortar which are more time consuming to install. As we are all aware, traditional bricks are predominately on the critical build path and ultimately slow the build programme down considerably.
Specifiers are opting for façade treatments that can be installed quickly and with the minimum of on-site wet trades thus achieving ‘weather tightness’ sooner. This allows the internal fit out packages to be commenced earlier, ultimately resulting in an ‘on time’ completion.
Specialist subcontractors often find themselves now being asked to take single source responsibility for many different façade treatments, this often involves being responsible for the installation of systems with many different support details and causes many design interface problems.
Generix overcomes all of these problems for both the specifier and the specialist subcontractor and allows for generic detailing by the designer and ease of installation by the installer.
Generix benefits from a single support system that is designed to carry several different façade treatments. The system may also be fixed floor to floor and facilitates movement.
