Cladding manufacturer Steni UK will exhibit both ends of its rainscreen panel spectrum, as well as its eco-friendly credentials, at Ecobuild. Steni’s stand at the show (N350) will feature the company’s flagship duo – Colour and Nature panels – as well as its Antislip flooring panels. <br> <br> Information will also be available on-stand on a study carried out by the Tampere University of Technology (Department of Civil Engineering, Institute of Construction Economics and Management) in Finland that considered the environmental performance of the different cladding systems and fixing methods in renovation projects. This concentrated on the impact of manufacture and use and maintenance. <br> <br> Its report, Ecological Comparison of Façade Renovation helps designers understand the environmental credentials of systems and therefore make better-informed design and specification decisions. <br> <br> And its conclusion was unequivocal, says Steni – glass fibre reinforced polyester composite rainscreen panels such as Steni’s ecologically outperform competitors in a number of tests, ranging from Global Warming Potential (GWP) to Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential.<br> <br>
