2 Booth Muirie haspositioned itself as a highly respected specialistcompany within the construction Muirie uses a range of metal compositematerials (MCM), predominantly aluminiumcomposite materials (ACM), to manufacturerainscreen CLADDING SYSTEMS . MCMs consist of two thin skins of aluminium or other metals such as copper, zinc and stainless steel, continuouslybonded under tension to either side of athermoplastic or mineral core. Booth Muirie rainscreen constructions are referred to as BML SYSTEMS , with the differentconstructions recognised by a standard prefix ofBML (Booth Muirie LINEAR), followed by a specificreference, which identifies the system construction,such as is a CLADDING applied either duringprimary construction or as an over- CLADDING toan existing structure.

3 Rainscreen claddingconsists of an outer weather-resistantdecorative skin fixed to an underlying structureby means of a supporting grid, which maintainsa ventilated and drained cavity between thefa ade and the structure. Rainscreen fa ades are not normally sealed and aventilation cavity of at least 25mm is allowedimmediately behind the CLADDING panel. Insulationcan be positioned within the cavity whilst openingsat the top and bottom of clad areas allow forevaporation of moisture vapour ventilated rainscreen incorporating insulation will allow the building fabric to breathe without therisk of interstitial condensation or structural wall insulation used in this way is superiorin performance as it eliminates the condensationrisks associated with internal or cavity wallinsulation.

4 This is particularly important forrefurbishment schemes. In new construction theuse of back ventilated rainscreen claddingprovides the designer with the opportunity to useeconomical single skin load bearing block work for infill need for complicated damp proof membranedetailing is eliminated and there will be less risk ofcold bridging. The air gap provides ventilationand depending on the design of the rainscreen, inconjunction with ventilated panel joints, it may alsoassist in providing pressure equalisation across theouter OF RAINSCREEN CLADDINGV entilation5 Fully pressurised and compartmentalised (zoned)

5 SYSTEMS control airflow locally and are usually usedon high performance, multi-storey lower performance is required, for examplein low rise structures, then a similar cassette panelsystem, although not fully pressure equalised,performs pressure equalisation concept is realised whenoutside air pressure is transferred to an air spacebehind the exterior CLADDING . The air gapcompartments must be small enough, the airbarrier system must be airtight enough and thearea of the venting through the rainscreen must belarge enough to allow sufficient air to move in and 1.

6 Panel to soffit Curtain wall Section through Section through vertical Section through window Section through corner of the compartments under the applied airpressure. The strategy relies on the control ofairflow within and through the wall assembly. In theory, pressure equalisation means a zero air pressure differential at all times across therainscreen, resulting in a complete elimination of the driving force for pressure-induced design and manufacture of engineeredrainscreen fa ades, featuring ACM or MCM, is at the heart of what Booth Muirie does.

7 The company has built a reputation for providingrainscreen CLADDING solutions for acomprehensive range of projects and has anexceptional ARCHITECTURAL portfolio. This is due,in no small part, to the design capabilities ofthe Design Team uses modern computer aideddesign (CAD) software to help deliver creativearchitectural solutions. Technically innovativecladding SYSTEMS are delivered through theinterpretation of ARCHITECTURAL drawings and thecreation of in-house details. This design abilityperfectly complements Booth Muirie s capabilitiesas a leading fabricator, by ensuring pragmaticsolutions are developed, which can be efficiently teamA Project Designer is appointed to work closelywith customers to ensure effective communicationand project management.

8 The team of designersemployed by Booth Muirie has worked on acomprehensive range of ARCHITECTURAL projects,offering customers a variety of drawing servicesand full compatibility through the use of the latestCAD standard Booth Muirie products cover manyrequirements but there may be a need to providebespoke details or features. Booth Muirie takespride in the ability to offer flexibility in design andmanufacture, working in-house or in partnershipwith specialist consultants to achieve a solutionthat best fits the design supportFull technical support is available on all aspects ofservice and products.

9 Materials are fully compliantand tested to the relevant industry standards, whilstmanufacturing processes are certified ISO panelsBespoke fa ade panels, using establishedinstallation SYSTEMS , can be supplied in a widerange of MCMs, particularly ACM, which opens upa host of possibilities in terms of colour and can be supplied in different shapes andsizes to suit almost any fa ade design; from thesimplest linear form to the most avant-garde well as rainscreen panels Booth Muirie canproduce spandrel panels that can be tailored tothe colour scheme of the building, creating amatch or contrast with the glazed area and offeringthe opportunity to enhance the visual impact of the curtain wall or glazing.

10 Feature detailingCombined with fa ade panels, feature details offera solution to complete all roof and wall can include bullnoses, transitions andcorners, highly flexible flashings, interior walls andceilings, column casings and soffit panels. Window,door and curtain wall interfaces are also Muirie SYSTEMS can help achieve granddesigns or add that special finishing touch. The accuracy of the CAD modelling team ensuresthat every panel fits as intended.
