Retrofit Marble Look Glazed Ceramic Insulation Panel 35mm Lightweight Overclad Facade System

Retrofit Glazed Ceramic Insulation Panel 35mm Lightweight Overclad System

In short: Retrofit glazed ceramic insulation panel, 35 mm at 8.8 kg/m2, insulating overclad system for old building facades and energy upgrades.

Overcladding an occupied building is a weight and access problem before it is a design problem. At about 8.8 kg/m2, this retrofit marble look ceramic cladding adds a new facade and a thermal layer without requiring the primary structure to be strengthened, and it can be installed floor by floor from a mast climber.

The system is designed to bridge the existing facade, leaving the old surface in place where it is sound. A drained cavity deals with any residual moisture, and the 35 mm body adds a Class A1 outer layer plus measurable insulation, which is often enough to move an EPC rating.

Core Advantages

• Class A1 Fire Performance: This retrofit glazed ceramic insulation panel 35mm lightweight overclad system is non-combustible from surface to core to GB 8624, with no dripping, no heavy smoke and no toxic gas release, which suits energy retrofit and overcladding of existing building facades.
• Fired-in Marble Pattern: The classic marble vein is generated in the body at 1200C, so it does not peel, chalk or fade like a printed or coated surface.
• Low Dead Load: About 8.8 kg/m2 at 35 mm, roughly one quarter of a 30 mm marble slab, which keeps anchors, keel steel and crane time down.
• Stable Colour Lot to Lot: A fixed pigment recipe and firing curve hold the classic marble vein inside the approved tolerance on repeat orders.
• Weather and Pollution Resistance: Closed cells and a sintered skin resist water penetration, 25 freeze-thaw cycles and urban staining; cleaning needs water, not chemical stone restorers.
• Installed Floor by Floor: Lightweight panels can be handled from a mast climber, so the building stays occupied and the programme follows the scaffold-free sequence.

Technical Data

Application

• 1970s and 1980s office tower upgrades
• Residential block facade renewal
• School and hospital estate refurbishment
• Heritage area buildings needing a stone look
• Industrial buildings converted to offices

Installation & Fixing

Survey the existing substrate for pull-out strength, then fix vertical rails through the old cladding into the structural wall. Maintain a drained cavity and a fire stop at every floor line.

Packing

The retrofit glazed ceramic insulation panel 35mm lightweight overclad system is supplied on plywood pallets with PE film, corner protection and edge guards, about 1.2 tons per pallet, loaded into 20ft or 40ft containers with fumigation-free packing. Store under cover, keep pallets level and avoid point loads on the decorated face. Special sizes, corner pieces and window returns can be produced to drawing.

FAQ

Q: Do we need to remove the old cladding?

A: Where the existing surface is sound and the pull-out test passes, it can stay in place and be overclad; loose or friable areas are removed locally.

Q: Will it improve our energy rating?

A: The 35 mm body adds thermal resistance and removes thermal bridging at the old facade; we provide U value and condensation risk calculations.

Q: Can it be installed while the building is occupied?

A: Yes. Work proceeds floor by floor from mast climbers, with noisy operations limited to agreed hours.
