The Market for Rainscreens
The Market for Rainscreens is a relatively new title in the Construction Markets portfolio, and has been published after a number of enquiries for such a report which have come on the back of significant market share gain by rainscreens over the past decade. It quantifies the market for rainscreen cladding systems in terms of installed area and examines the use of various different products including:
- Metallic:
- Steel cassettes
- Aluminium cassettes
- ACM / MCM
- Other metallic
- Glass
- Ceramic / terracotta
- Fibre cement boards
- High pressure laminates
- Other boards
- Other finishes
The Market for Rainscreens by types of products is further broken down by usage by types of work (new, extensions and refurbishment). It is further broken down by building sectors, including the split between flats and houses in the private and public residential sectors, and the individual sub sectors making up the non-domestic market (inclusive of offices, retail, leisure, education and health etc).
The report also analyses the penetration of rainscreens against alternative wall cladding systems and products in the various building sectors, sub sectors and types of work.
The types of wall construction upon which the rainscreens are fixed (which provide the thermal insulation and weather tightness to the building envelope) are also analysed. This includes the following types of ‘backup walls’:
- Concrete block
- Profiled steel:
- Twin skin
- Composite panels
- Profiled aluminium:
- Twin skin
- Composite panels
- Concrete panels
- SIPS
- Others
The report also includes a detailed 5 year forecast to give a medium term assessment of the likely development of the rainscreens market in terms of building sectors, types of work and types of products.
