SFS (Steel Framing System) cladding is a modern, durable solution used in the construction and architectural industries to enhance the exterior of buildings. Comprising a framework of steel studs and rails, SFS cladding provides a robust structure for attaching a variety of cladding materials, such as metal panels, brick, or composite materials. This system offers exceptional strength, weather resistance, and flexibility, making it ideal for both commercial and residential applications.
Key benefits of SFS cladding include:
Used extensively in both new constructions and refurbishments, SFS cladding ensures high-performance exteriors with minimal maintenance, creating buildings that are both visually striking and structurally sound.
Rainscreen cladding is a high-performance exterior cladding system designed to protect buildings from water penetration while providing an aesthetically pleasing finish. It works by creating a ventilated cavity between the cladding material and the building’s wall structure, allowing air to circulate and helping to shed rainwater before it reaches the underlying wall.
This system typically consists of two key layers:
Key Benefits of Rainscreen Cladding:
Rainscreen cladding is an ideal choice for both new construction and retrofitting existing buildings. It’s particularly beneficial in areas with high rainfall or extreme weather conditions, where protection against water ingress is critical for long-term building performance.
Rendering is the process of applying a protective and decorative layer to the exterior surfaces of buildings, typically made from cement-based mixtures, lime, or synthetic materials. The rendering process involves coating the walls of a structure to provide not only aesthetic appeal but also weather resistance, insulation, and durability. It is commonly used on masonry, brick, or concrete surfaces.
Rendering can be applied in different styles and finishes, offering versatile options for both modern and traditional architectural designs. It can be painted, textured, or smooth, depending on the desired look and performance requirements.
Key Benefits of Rendering:
Rendering is an essential technique in modern building design, offering both practical benefits and the opportunity for creative expression in exterior finishes. Whether you’re looking to enhance the curb appeal of a home, protect a commercial property, or improve energy efficiency, rendering provides a durable, cost-effective solution.
We are one of the UK’s industry leading external wall insulation and building cladding specialists and can provide you with the appropriate high performing EWI system to suit whatever building type and construction type you are seeking assistance with.
External Wall Insulation Systems (EWIS) have proven increasingly popular over the years as an effective solution for improving both the thermal efficiency and aesthetic appeal of buildings.
Curtain walling is a non-structural exterior building system that typically consists of a lightweight framework of metal or other materials, with large panels of glass, stone, metal, or other materials inserted between the frame. It is primarily used in modern commercial and high-rise residential buildings to create a visually striking and functional façade.
Unlike traditional walls, curtain walling does not support the building’s load, which is carried
by the structure of the building itself. Instead, it serves as an outer or protective layer, offering aesthetic appeal, energy efficiency, and weather resistance while allowing for
expansive windows and open views.
Curtain walling provides a visually impressive, functional solution for modern architecture, combining aesthetics with performance. It’s a popular choice for buildings requiring large glass facades, natural lighting, and energy-efficient design, while offering flexibility for a wide range of application.
Bespoke architectural metalwork refers to custom-designed and crafted metal elements used in the construction and interior design of buildings, tailored to meet the unique aesthetic, functional, and technical requirements of a project. These metalwork pieces can be anything from intricate staircases, railings, and balustrades to decorative façades, gates, canopies, and structural features. The term “bespoke” emphasises the one-of-a-kind nature of each piece, ensuring that it is specifically designed to complement the overall architectural vision of the space.
Bespoke architectural metalwork combines expert craftsmanship with advanced technology and high-quality materials, resulting in beautiful, durable, and highly functional features that enhance the character and appeal of any building.
With our experience, knowledge of facades and collaboration with specialised supply chain partners, we have extensive experience in building recladding.
Building on the success of our façade division, we have a dedicated team who specialise in the recladding of non compliant buildings. Using our in-house expertise, we manage the entire recladding project lifecycle, from tender to completion. Acting as either the principal contractor or subcontractor, our cladding remediation solutions prioritize compliance, quality, and cost efficiency
Cladding investigations involve a thorough assessment of the external materials used on a
building’s façade to determine their compliance, safety, and performance. During such investigations, DMC focuses on identifying potential risks, such as fire hazards, structural deficiencies, or material deterioration whilst ensuring the disruption to occupants is kept at a minimum.
Our in-house design team create bespoke solutions to ensure the design and specifications of a project meet the current legislations and regulations.
DMC has experience operating in a variety of live environments, which continues to improve our capabilities when carrying out recladding works in occupied buildings with minimal disruption. Our in-house resident liaison team is dedicated to keeping property owners, occupants and managing agents informed and supported at every stage of the process.
Throughout the project lifecycle, external EWS1 assessors are engaged to ensure compliance with statutory requirements. Working alongside DMC as the principal contractor, they play a crucial role in approving key stages of the project through regular inspections. Upon completion, an EWS1 certificate is issued to confirm compliance
