General Description
Rainscreen cladding is a unique method of
cladding or over-cladding a building to provide weather protection
for the building fabric and structure.
Renowned for their ability to create a completely ‘flat’ surface,
rainscreen cladding systems are increasingly used on prestigious
new build projects where guaranteed long-term
performance and the aesthetics
of the building façade are of paramount importance.

Sussex University - Brighton
Bailey deep, horizontal soffits combined with louvred panels were installed internally as
a feature of the main concourse as well as being used to create an external feature canopy.
With such extensive area of soffit, specifying Bailey Cassette system was key to ensuring flat
soffits without visible fixings or quilting.

Little Venice London
The architect required products that were eco-friendly and adaptable to enable
the building to complement the immediate surroundings and be as unobtrusive as possible.
Bailey rainscreen cassette cladding system was ideal for this application,
providing an aluminium secret fix system that was suitably covered in a polyester powder coated finish,
while being supported on a Bailey carcassing framework.

The eaves are one of the key features of a buildings architecture, it provides the important
line that heads the elevation, helping to bring together many visual elements and forming
the junction between walls and roof. Significantly, the eaves are also where rainwater
is channelled from the roof, as well as protecting and shading the walls,
windows and doors underneath.

FINISH/COLOUR
NOTE: Various options available on request.
As a standard, only visible faces are polyester powder coated. Some severe
industrial or marine locations may require coating to reverse side of some
components. Bailey Technical Department should be consulted in these situations.
Polyester powder coated to colour and gloss level selected from the manufacturer’s Akzo Nobel
Interpon D103 standard range. Polyester powder coating is to be electrostatically applied at
the manufacturer’s in-house plant to conform to BS EN 12206:2004 Part 1 and Qualicoat Class
1 standards.
Pre-treatment of the aluminium is to produce no environmentally harmful effluent and conform
To European standards.
Test samples are to be retained and results submitted to the architect if requested.
Tests to be applied as a minimum are:
1. 1000 hour salt spray test for chemical resistance.
Result: No blistering, softening or detachment of the coating.
2. Impact resistance test using 0.908kg weight from 0.25 high.
Result: No cracking or detachment of the coating.
3. Permeability test (2 hour pressure cooker).
Result: No blistering or detachment of the coating.
4. Adhesion test using 2mm cross hatch.
Result: No flaking or removal of the coating.
5. Flexibility test using 20mm mandrell.
Result: No cracking or detachment of the coating.
6. Cure test using MIBK solvent.
Result: No removal of the coating or significant softening of the film
7. Film thickness.
Result: Average minimum thickness to be 60 microns with no reading less than 50 microns.
Specification
 Accessories :- Factory fabricated corner panels, mitres, trims to openings etc.
 Design
The installing sub contractor, in conjunction with manufacturer is to provide a full design
service. Full working drawings are to be submitted for architects approval prior
to manufacture. As a minimum, these should include:
a)
Elevational views showing panel layouts with all joints, junctions etc. suitably indicated.
b) Cross section detail of typical panel configuration including method of support and
fixings to be used.
Each component to be part numbered and cross referenced between section drawings and
elevational/layout drawings.
 Packaging
 All components are to be fully wrapped and protected. Bundles should be no larger than can
be handled by one person to ensure transfer to point of installation in original packaging. In
the case of large of heavy items, these should be clearly marked with the appropriate warning
