Cemintel Surround Cladding by Cemintel

Cemintel Surround Cladding

Description

Cemintel® Surround™ Whiteish is a white cladding with a hint of warm pigments reminiscent of alabaster. The alabaster colour is a soft white with creamy tones. It isn't bright and goes well with other colours and natural building materials.

White is a timeless colour that lends itself well to minimalist modern designs.

The Surround Whiteish range has different coatings and textures which all give a different matte effect. They respond differently to light giving variety within the palette of white cladding.

Panel Width: 1200mm
Panel Length: 3000mm
Panel Thickness: 8mm

Cemintel Surround panels are pre-drilled and then fixed onto supporting metal top hats using unique, colour matched, stainless steel rivets.

The Surround system uses only one rivet type which allows a subtle 'sliding' movement across the panel. This reduces the complexity of installation and reduces the stresses created where panels are installed with rigid 'fixed' points.

Panels are installed to give an express jointed appearance. A vertical gasket tape is placed on the vertical top hat to provide added weather resistance and an angled backing strip is placed at horizontal joints to encourage water run-off.

Surround System

Cemintel Surround panels are pre-drilled and then fixed onto supporting metal top hats using unique, colour matched, stainless steel rivets. The Surround system uses only one rivet type which allows a subtle “sliding” movement across the panel. This reduces the complexity of installation and reduces the stresses created where panels are installed with rigid “fixed” points.
