HPL Cladding Replacement

Trident Facades provides HPL cladding replacement services where an existing high-pressure laminate rainscreen system needs to be removed and replaced as part of façade remediation or refurbishment works.

Replacement is considered as part of the complete external wall system, including the cladding, support system, insulation, cavity barriers, fire stopping and interfaces.

When Is HPL Cladding Replacement Required?

Replacement may be required where an existing HPL system:

  • Cannot achieve the required fire performance
  • Has damaged, delaminated or deteriorated panels
  • Has defective support rails, brackets or fixings
  • Suffers persistent water ingress
  • Has defective membranes or interfaces
  • Has inadequate cavity barriers or fire stopping
  • Cannot be effectively repaired
  • Requires replacement as part of a wider remediation strategy

The appropriate solution should be established from the existing construction, condition, assessment findings and remediation requirements.

  • Review of existing surveys and assessments
  • Façade investigation and opening-up

Replacement HPL Systems

The replacement system is designed around the building and project requirements, with consideration given to:

  • Fire performance
  • Thermal performance
  • Weather resistance
  • Support and fixing arrangements
  • Insulation and membranes
  • Cavity barriers and fire stopping
  • Windows, balconies and interfaces
  • Durability and maintenance

Where appropriate, an alternative cladding system can also be considered rather than a direct HPL replacement.

HPL Replacement As Part Of Remediation

HPL replacement can be delivered as a standalone package or as part of a wider façade remediation project.

Where further investigation is required, our dedicated survey team, Trident Facades Surveys, can undertake opening-up to establish the existing wall construction before replacement works proceed.

Investigation → Strategy → Design → Removal → Replacement → Completion
