New Alumasc wall system for framed buildings

Alumasc has brought out M R Swisrail, a wall system that uses EWI (External Wall Insulation), which is specifically engineered for framed steel structures.

Incorporating an integral 25mm drained airspace, M R Swisrail provides a seamless insulated facade that satisfies NHBC and building-regulation requirements.

Utilising an effective arrangement of specially designed rails and channels, the BBA-certified system is particularly easy to install into steel-framed structures.

M R Swisrail meets the NHBC requirement for a drained cavity of at least 15mm between the frame and the EWI, while the provision of Alumasc Cavity Fire Seal at separating walls and compartment floors satisfies Approved Document B.

The cavity design ensures adequate drainage while preserving the integrity of the insulated system by restricting free-air movement.

The development of M R Swisrail brings the benefits of EWI to steel-framed buildings.

M R Swisrail is designed to be faced with the M R Swistherm ST Lightweight Silicone or Mineral Render formulations, providing a high-performance seamless external surface in an extensive range of colours.

All openings and details have been fully engineered and an option for a pre-manufactured window pod system is also available.
