ASHTECH Rainscreen Cladding Systems Rainscreen cladding is a unique method of cladding or overcladding a building to provide weather protection for the building fabric and structure. Ashtech rainscreen cladding systems provide a low maintenance, sustainable external ventilated ‘cold’ façade using aluminium sheet, aluminium composite material (ACM), and other metals such as steel and copper, which are formed into cassettes available in a variety of horizontal and vertical joint arrangements, including 3-D geometric designs.
