Striking architectural fins (rainscreen cladding) for original building design

Architectural fins added to an Optima Façade can create dramatic vertical or horizontal emphasis to a building, whilst retaining the main rainscreen system performance. Large or small feature fins can transform the look of a façade making the joints prominent, creating shade effects and giving the panels a more recessed appearance. Architectural fins use the same fire rated materials and systems employed in the core design. As an example of architectural fins in use, Optima FC was chosen for The Core, Science Central project. The features of the building include horizontal and vertical fins projecting out from the panel joints. The gold anodised fins create a picture frame effect around each individual panel. The installation of fins can be incorporated on site or fitted to the panels in the factory. At Thorpe Park shopping centre in Leeds, for example, the Optima TFC system has been finished in anodised gold with matching feature fins. The fins are positioned to create an almost random layout for the shopping centre. Fins can vary in size, depending on the architect or designer’s vision. For example, the Glasgow Centre Premier Inn Super tower is 18 floors high and perfectly located for visitors to the City. Sotech carried out FEA analysis and provided hidden extruded support channels to support the huge fins on this project. Some of the panels for the project are in circa 5.5m in length making it one of Sotech’s first solid aluminium projects with panels larger than 4.2m.
