Description

EasySeam Wall Cladding System uses a metal standing seam profile to offer a robust and durable solution that’s quick and easy to install.


Offered as a complete kit of parts including breather membrane, corner and window flashings, fixings and sealant, ensuring you get the very best aesthetics and quality for your walling project.


Available as a standard build up, the wall profile is supported by and fixed to an 18 mm Oriented Strand Board (OSB)3 and a breathable membrane. This construction build up will achieve a Class C in the European Fire test ISO 9705-1 and is suitable for use on some low-rise buildings (less than 11 m high in England) and further than 1 m from the boundary. To achieve a Class A1 fire performance rating, EasySeam System using either Tata Steel Colorcoat Prisma or SSAB Green Pural BT supported with a galvanised steel deck, would provide the best solution for wall cladding on multi-use building of any height close to the boundary.


Features and benefits:

  • Engineered system that is manufactured to order, reducing on site waste.
  • Three different EasySeam profiles, each with a 25 mm high seam.
  • Available in a choice of pre-finished steel options and colours depending on application; Tata Steel Colorcoat Colorcoat Prisma and HPS200 Ultra and SSAB Greencoat Pural BT.
  • Available in 300 and 500 mm widths.
  • Up to 8 m lengths available.
  • Profiles can be laid horizontally or vertically to achieve a range of aesthetic effects.
  • Snap and lock system enables quick and easy installation.
  • Notches and tabs at both ends of the profile allow the seam to be sealed from the elements.
  • Profiles can be laid firmly onto 18 mm Oriented Strand Board (OSB)3 on top of a breathable membrane, with no requirement for additional brackets.
  • Fixings are hidden by the adjacent profile, delivering a stylish and sleek appearance.
  • CE marked to EN 14783.


System performance:

  • Design life/ durability: in excess of 40 years.
  • Acoustic performance: buildups achieving sound reduction of RW -45 Db.
  • Thermal performance: buildups achieving performance down to 0.11 U value.
  • Water penetration: steel is non permeable.
  • Guarantee available: Confidex Home (25 years) and Confidex (up to 40 years).
  • Verification of compliance with design, performance and quality requirements: KIWA pending, ISO 9001 pending.
