Welcome to Eltherington, providing Rainscreen & Façade solutions since 1960. They strive to remain at the forefront of innovation and performance in terms of building envelopes, with solutions across the entire building facade, including decorative rainscreen cladding, roofline, column casings and special fabrications. All their building products are available in an extensive choice of materials, colours and finishes to help you bring your design to life.

Eltherington is a member of The Centre for Window and Cladding Technology (CWCT). The CWCT is a leading provider of information to everyone involved in the design, specification or installation of building envelopes. CWCT sets the industry standard in the UK for high specification architectural projects. Eltherington rainscreen cladding solutions have been independently tested and accredited to the specific requirements of CWCT.

Eltherington remains committed to Sustainable Manufacturing Leadership in all areas of our business. We have ongoing investment and improvement programmes in recycling, reduction of waste and saving energy. Eltherington rainscreen cladding can achieve an A-rating if fitted in accordance with the Green Guide.

The BRE Green Guide states that: “Due to their lightweight nature, framed structures generally score better than their masonry counterparts. A-ratings can be achieved using all conventional cladding materials.”

Rainscreen Ventilated Systems - sustainability benefits

Lightweight construction compared to masonry walls, which also requires fewer foundation materials, resulting in a building with a reduced carbon footprint
Constant circulation of air keeps the exterior wall dry
Thermal bridging through the wall is eliminated due to no interruptions caused by floor slabs
Temperature fluctuations of the wall is minimized due to high levels of insulation within the structure
Interstitial condensation is prevented as vapor pressure and wall temperature prevents this forming within the ventilated cavity
Reduces solar gain during hot summer months
Whole life benefit - aluminium is 100% recyclable. It can also be recycled an infinite number of times without loss of performance

Aluminium is the third most common element in the Earth's crust
More than 55% of the world's primary aluminium is produced using hydroelectric power (no CO2 emissions and renewable)
Aluminium is infinitely recyclable with no loss of quality
Recycled aluminium requires only 5% of the energy used to produce primary aluminium
Aluminium used in building can be recycled up to 100%
