Metalline gained certification in early 2017 for the Metalline UNITY aluminium rainscreen system. All our UNITY systems follow the guidelines for rainscreen cladding recommended by the CWCT. In order to gain the certification our panels were subjected to and passed through the following tests:
- Weathertightness – Dynamic

- Wind Resistance – Safety
- Soft Body Impact
- Hard Body Impact
All these were performed in accordance with the ‘Standards for Systemised Building Envelopes’ CWCT 2006.
