Euroform’s NICHIHA rainscreen system & Downer Framing. A brand new CWCT tested and certified system.
Downer Framing is thrilled to reveal this latest development. In collaboration with Euroform and Nichiha, we’re extremely pleased to bring a new proven system to the market. As one of the industry’s most rigorous performance assessments, CWCT testing validates the complete rainscreen facade and framing system, providing tested assurance that the system will perform in demanding real-world conditions, giving architects, specifiers and contractors confidence when selecting tested systems.
“Euroform’s NICHIHA rainscreen system successfully passes CWCT sequence B testing – incorporating Downer framing’s Helping Hand subframe system.”
Downer Framing is thrilled to share news of our recent CWCT partnership, which was recently featured in Architecture Today, and shared by our esteemed partners Euroform. We’re extremely pleased to have been able to support Euroform, and proud to be partnering with them in order to bring yet another CWCT tested facade and framing solution to the market.
Another proven system. Another reason to specify with confidence.
Our dependable Downer framing rainscreen framing system has successfully achieved CWCT (Centre for Window and Cladding Technology) Sequence B testing in combination with Nichiha, NICHIHA CORPORATION‘s EX Series panels; providing the industry with a fully-tested, high-performance solution.
✅ Proven performance
✅ Tested compatibility
✅ Confidence from design through to installation
“The NICHIHA system performed exceptionally due in no small part to the unique interlocking profile of the cladding panels and its 16mm thickness,” explains Euroform’s Technical Director John Taylor. “The system benefitted from the use of Downer framing’s helping hand bracket and rail support system designed bespoke for Euroform’s test.”
“The testing investment and performance results signal Euroform’s entry into the rainscreen cladding market with this outstanding product,” says Mark Atkinson, Head of Building Envelope at Euroform. “Customers can be assured that the system works as it should in terms of real-life environment.”
“Great to have been able to support the Euroform team, partnering on intense CWCT testing. It’s a real achievement and is testamant to the strength of collaboration between our Downer framing, Euroform, Nichiha teams, and of course, the performance of both Nichiha’s contemporary panel and Downer’s helping hand system.” Andy Creedy, BDM, Downer Framing
In today’s challenging construction market, being able to rely on another independently tested system, offers added certainty and confidence, and what a system, blending on-point aesthetics and robust bespoke engineered rainscreen framing performance
Well done to everyone involved, we’re thrilled to be a part of the success story, and excited to see the future unfold.
