Roofing & Façades

Traditional European methods meet contemporary influences.

 

Ionclad prides itself on fusing the best parts of European tradition and modern architecture. Our roofing and façade systems are concealed fix, optimising the longevity, sustainability and aesthetic impact of a building. This also ensures low-maintenance, durable designs that protect from the elements and harsh environmental conditions.

At Ionclad we develop completely customisable designs. By working alongside clients, we produce systems that accentuate uniqueness and character. With an eye for detail and a focus on tailoring every design to the individual build, no two Ionclad installations are the same. The possibilities are endless.

Profiles

Selecting the right profile for your build can vary based on desired aesthetic value, the complexity of panel shapes and application of use. When installed in conjunction with the correct system build-ups, all roofing and façade systems offer thermal insulation and waterproofing.

Ionclad strives to be as sustainable as possible. This starts with offering profiles that ensure the highest level of durability, and ensuring our installations are built to last.

Standing seam

Standing seam is the most traditional and versatile cladding system available. With centuries-old seaming techniques and the ability to create curvature and complex shapes, the design possibilities of this profile are endless.

Uses

  • Roofing, façade, soffits

System features

  • Convex, concave, curved and tapered abilities

  • Ability to connect roof to wall for continuous seam detail

  • Cross seams or continuous long-length panel

  • Panels can be installed vertically, horizontally or diagonally

System build up

  • Plywood substrate fixed to continuous studs or top hat battens at 600mm centres

  • Breathable and waterproof membrane underlay

  • Fixed and sliding stainless steel clips at maximum 300mm centres

Flat-lock

Flat-lock offers a unique system unlike any other due to its creative flexibility that offers any shape, size or pattern. This system can be installed with either a recessed seam to give a sleek and thin aesthetic, or an express seam for a deeper and more bold aesthetic effect. Flat-lock shares the same design as the shingle system where a diverse range of shapes and sizes can be achieved.
