Luxalon HP+ Sandwich Wall smooth performance
Luxalon HP+ Sandwich Wall Bi-Modular façade system is unique in combining design flexibility and construction quality with unparalleled thermal and fire performance.
Luxalon HP+ Sandwich Wall was chosen to provide an integrated cladding, window and doors façade to combine with areas of traditional red brick and render and deliver a modern architectural style offering clean, crisp detailing.
Achieving the low U-values required to meet the current Part L of the Building Regulations, a 75mm Luxalon HP+ Sandwich Wall panel complete with rigid foam insulant was used in the façade, coloured in complementary mid grey and dark grey.
The overall cladding and integrated window arrangement is designed in a way that resembles a curtain walling style but still offers assurances on thermal efficiency, fire properties and weather tightness through its approval from leading organisations including the CWCT (Centre for Window and Cladding Technology).
Offering housebuilders unlimited aesthetic potential, Luxalon HP+ Sandwich Wall is an optically flat bi-modular system available with curved and cranked corner panels, up to 12m in length and available in a wide variety of colours and surface finishes.
The system also offers important benefits in the construction schedule, with easy installation from the top down using Luxalon's patented clamps, a secret fixing method that contributes further to the façade's smooth finish.
