Introduction A façade suite that incorporates a rainscreen cassette system has many advantages over a proprietary panel on rail system because the cassette is generally designed to be installed over a unitised system that integrates the air seal (and insulation). This is the key flexible advantage that allows the designer to freely design flat or 3-dimensional panels over the façade, which under normal circumstances may become complex or even impossible junctions to manage with regard to weathering. A cassette system may incorporate folded ACM, zinc, stainless steel, surface finished aluminium or terracotta. Thermosash have engineered a unique method of fitting of brackets that eliminate potential wind uplift and, because of the unitised panel supporting the cassettes, also absorb seismic or differential structural movements without compromising any of the junction or critical weathering detailing. Product Features
An extremely adaptable system that allows bespoke designed elements to be incorporated confidently, with no concern of creating complex junctions that will leak.
Section & Panel Sizes
As the cassettes or panels are generally fixed over a panelwall (PW) system the primary structure, air barrier and insulation panel section size is either 100 / 150 / 200mm + the cassette section, which is generally only limited by the original material size availability or the receiving panel - optimized to manage waste / control cost. Specification
We recommend using Masterspec 4211TS Thermosash Curtainwalling when specifying this system.
Surface Finishing Whilst a cassette system could be made up of practically any folded metal such as stainless steel, zinc or steel, when specifying aluminum the following finishes are available: Polyester powdercoat - Both standard and special colours available. Anodised - All anodised colours available - commercial grade 20 micron finish recommended. PVF2 Flourocarbon finishes - Available on request. Performance / Testing
Maximum Spanning Ability
Thermosash specifically engineers the best suite option for your project taking into consideration span, structural system, load imposed by the cassettes and wind loading. The spanning ability will vary depending on the above. Thermosash Suites are recognized as having the largest spanning systems on the market due to our specific engineering capability and the customised nature of the work we complete.
