Also featured is new Ventirail, a single piece horizontal rail design which greatly simplifies the overcladding of existing buildings that need to be aesthetically enhanced and upgraded thermally and acoustically.
The brochure explains the full range of prefabrication services available, clearly demonstrating how Shackerley can help contractors to fast-track every aspect of the rainscreen installation.
Precision panel cutting and specialist undercut drilling and bracketing or 'strapping' services are carried out under rigorous quality controlled conditions in the company's Lancashire factories.
