What is rainscreen cladding?

Rainscreen cladding is an exterior wall system designed to protect a building from weather while improving thermal performance and appearance. It consists of an outer cladding layer, a ventilated cavity, insulation, and a structural backing wall. This layered design helps keep the building dry, durable, and energy-efficient.

How does rainscreen cladding work?

Rainscreen cladding works by creating a ventilated gap between the cladding and the building’s structural wall. This cavity allows continuous airflow, helping any moisture that enters to evaporate or drain away safely. As a result, the system reduces the risk of damp, mould, and long-term structural damage.

How is rainscreen cladding installed?

Rainscreen cladding is installed by a creating a controlled cavity before attaching the cladding panels. Installers must ensure correct ventilation gaps, alignment, and compliance with UK building regulations. Our rainscreen cladding installer training covers each stage of the process in detail.

Who is the rainscreen cladding course suitable for?

The course is designed for installers and supervisors working with rainscreen façade and external envelope systems. It is also suitable for those looking to expand their knowledge of cladding installation or building envelope construction. Anyone seeking practical and technical insight into rainscreen systems can benefit from attending.

Do I need prior experience before attending a rainscreen cladding course?

There are no formal entry requirements, making the course accessible to new and experienced learners. Basic knowledge of façade systems and terminology can be helpful but is not essential.

Do you offer rainscreen cladding courses in multiple locations?
